• Color Options
  Typically available in a variety of playful colors, such as Charcoal, Glacier White, Lavender Bloom, and Midnight Teal — giving users more room for personalization.

• LED Status Light
  A subtle LED bar on top glows to indicate when Alexa is listening, muted, or responding to a request.
