This post has been updated to correct the areas in which Echo and Alexa are now available. Full list below.
Amazon is launching three of its Echo devices with Alexa in 80 additional countries starting today — a major international expansion for the company’s smart speakers and voice-based assistant.
The rollout applies to the Echo, Echo Dot, and Echo Plus. Other Echo devices, such as the touch-screen Echo Show, are not included as part of the international expansion.
Echo devices were previously only available in the US, UK, Germany, India, Japan, and Canada. Amazon earlier announced plans to bring Echo and Alexa to Australia and New Zealand next year.
In addition, Amazon says its Music Unlimited subscription streaming service is available in 28 additional countries, including many of those where the Echo is now expanding, as well.
International versions of the Echo devices are available from Amazon.co.uk, Amazon.de, or Amazon.com. Alexa supports languages including US English, UK English, IN English, German, or Japanese. Functionality will include asking questions, listening to music, asking about the weather, controlling lights, and calling and messaging.
The expansion is an effort to extend Amazon’s early lead in the smart home speaker and home assistant market. Google Home is currently available in the US, UK, Canada, Australia, Germany, and France.
