    Designed to protect your privacy - Built with multiple layers of privacy protections and controls, including a microphone off button that electronically disconnects the microphones.


Better appearance (in my opinion), larger speaker (1.6" vs. 1.5"), able to support stereo pairing and connect to the Echo sub, more power (uses a AC adapter that outputs up to 15 watt via a connected cable with a barrel connector, vs. the 2nd's gen's AC adapter that outputs 9 watts via a USB connection, connected to that unit via a USB to micro USB cable), the white (Sandstone) unit actually comes with a white AC adapter and cable, and it supports Spanish and Italian (which still don't show up on my 2nd gen Dots)
