Alexa+ won’t work on these Amazon Echo devices

It’s a small list, but Amazon’s new Alexa+ isn’t compatible with every device

As highlighted by The Verge, Alexa+ will support more obscure Amazon devices like the Echo Flex, and it’s refreshing that the new AI assistant doesn’t require newer hardware, unlike Apple Intelligence. Alexa+ can also interact with your current Amazon devices more effectively, allowing you to switch music between multiple speakers, and even jump to the exact moment a song is playing in a film if you have a Fire TV. If you’re more than happy with the current Alexa, Amazon has said you can continue to use the popular voice assistant, though it stressed on its FAQ page that it’s “positive you’ll love all that Alexa+ has to offer”.
