About Echo Frames

Everything is getting smarter and smarter every day like smartphones, smart homes, smart computers, smartwatches, smart TV, etc. The echo frame is introduced by Amazon. Echo frames work with Amazon’s online assistant called Alexa. Just like Google introduced Google glass which works with Google Assistant. Amazon has recently announced a heap of smart devices like Echo smart speakers, smart rings, smart home security, etc.

The echo frame comes for $180 (Rs.12, 827 approx.). The weight of the frame is around 31 grams (1.1 ounces). The weight of the frame is lighter than regular glasses. It is constructed from TR-90, carbon fiber, and titanium. The frames only work online and not offline. There is a bit of delay as commands go to the cloud and come back. The frame comes with normal glasses but if you want, you can also use the prescription glasses in the frames. Frame comes with a charging cable, power adapter, and carrying case.
