Amazon Alexa smart speaker lovers, take note: Amazon is hosting a virtual fall Alexa hardware event this Thursday, 24th September, at 6pm BST (1pm ET).
It’s not clear exactly what will be revealed at the event – an invite sent to What Hi-Fi? revealed only that Amazon’s Devices and Services team would be sharing “some news”. But there's no better time for the retail giant to unveil new kit ahead of its annual (postponed) sales event, Amazon Prime Day – and of course the huge bargain bonanza that is Black Friday.
