Alexa is as capable as ever, Audio quality a little better than standard Echo (2017), Zigbee hub gives a taste of the smart home
Audio still isn't as good as we hoped for, Zigbee-only hub has limited device support, Alexa app is limited in granular controls
Amazon's argument for the Echo Plus is that setting up the smart home can be time-consuming and needlessly complex, a tangle of hubs and interfaces just to get each thing talking to the other. That's not untrue, though there remain benefits from doing it...
Integrated Zigbee automation hub, Audio has slightly more bass response than the standard Echo, Strong Wi-Fi reception
Alexa app can't control smart home devices with as much granularity as dedicated apps
The $150 Amazon Echo Plus is a very capable voice-assisted speaker that can't quite replace a dedicated hub if you're serious about smart home automation. That will likely change, but right now, for most people, the $100 Echo is a better bet...

The Echo Plus keeps the original Echo's design (and its beloved volume ring) while adding in an aux-out jack, a Zigbee radio to control smart home devices, and an incremental boost in sound quality. It costs $30 less than the original Echo
The Plus also costs $50 more than the new Echo, which has everything the Plus has except for Zigbee. The Alexa app isn't the fully capable smart home control center that the Echo Plus needs it to be, at least not yet
Hold off on the Echo Plus until Amazon improves the Alexa app's smart home controls...
Despite these two products serving nearly an identical purpose, they couldn't be more different from each other in terms of design intent.After carefully dissecting them both, it's clear Sonos only buys into the smart speaker category because they have to...
If you can get past the creepiness of having a device listening to your every move, the $149 Amazon Echo 2 is the best-value smart speaker available. If want better sound quality, however, the bigger Amazon Echo Plus is worth the extra $80.OverallSpecs$14...

Abstract: Despite what you may have read, the Amazon Echo was never a do-anything smart home device. Sure it could tell you about the weather and maybe control your lights, but it lacked the under-the-hood hub capabilities that could make all your connected devices...
