After launching nearly a dozen Echo speaker models in India in two years, Amazon said on Wednesday it is adding a new variant to the mix that addresses one of the most requested features from customers in the nation: portability.
两年来亚马逊在印度推出了十几款Echo音箱,该公司周三说要推出该系列的一款新产品,增加了该国消费者最需要的一个功能:便携。
The e-commerce giant today unveiled the Echo Input Portable Smart Speaker Edition, a new variant in the lineup that includes a built-in battery. The 4,800 mAh enclosed battery will offer up to 10 hours of continuous music playing or up to 11 hours of stand-by life, the company said.
今天这个电商巨头推出了Echo便携式智能音箱,该公司说它是这一系列中的新产品,带有4800毫安的内置电池,可以长达10小时持续播放音乐或待机11小时。
“Portability has been one of the most requested features in India,” said Miriam Daniel, VP of Alexa Devices. “You want to be able to carry Alexa with you from room to room within your homes. So we have designed something just for you.”
Alexa Devices的副总裁Miriam Daniel说:“印度人最需要的功能之一就是便携。您想要在家里把Alexa从一个房间带到另一个房间,所以我们为您设计了这样的产品。”
The company said the Echo Input Portable Smart Speaker Edition (which remains a mouthful) shares the same “hardware architecture” as the Echo Input, a device it launched last year that does not feature a speaker.
该公司说这款Echo便携式智能音箱(还是很拗口)和Echo Input智能音箱的硬件结构相同。该公司去年推出的Echo Input没有扬声器。
The battery-powered Echo model, designed exclusively for India, is priced at 5,999 Indian rupees ($84). Users can currently purchase it at an introductory price of 4,999 Indian rupees ($70) and the device will begin shipping on December 18.
这款使用电池的Echo音箱是专门为印度用户设计的,定价为5,999印度卢比(合84美元)。用户现在能以4,999印度卢比(合70美元)的试销价格购买,12月18日开始发货。
