The dimensions remain the same, 100 x 100 x 89mm, but the Echo Dot 5 is 340 grams, 12g heavier than its predecessor. The round shape covered in fabric on part of the body, LED operation indicator on the base and control buttons on the top remain the same in both models.

Both perform the same with the Alexa virtual assistant for voice commands and other information.
