https://www.cnet.com/news/amazon-echo-potential-alexa-hardware-update-september-2018/ > It seems like a pretty good bet. > We've already seen a leak suggesting that a newly designed, third-gen Echo Dot is on the way. Amazon also has to be at least slightly concerned with Google's growing presence in the rear-view mirror after the search giant overtook Amazon in smart speaker sales during the first quarter of the year. The momentum hasn't slowed since, with new Google Assistant-powered touchscreen devices like the Lenovo Smart Display and the JBL Link View proving more compelling than Alexa's touchscreen-equipped Echo Show ever has. More of those are on the way, including the LG Smart Display, that could challenge the Echo lineup on the sound quality front.
