Up until now, users in India could connect with Alexa either by using their smartphones or by using smart speakers. But that is about to change as Amazon has finally launched Echo Auto in India.

Amazon had first introduced Echo Auto at its annual event in Seattle back in 2018 alongside the other smart home devices like Echo Wall Clock, Echo Sub and AmazonBasics Microwave oven. Now, nearly a-year-and-a-half later, the company is bringing the device to India.
