This is just like a portable bluetooth speakers but without battery, hence means has to stay plugged in all the time. The Echo makes use of cloud to access information and music which it plays on request.
"Echo connects to Alexa, a cloud-based voice service, to provide information, answer questions, play music, read the news, check sports scores or the weather, and more—instantly. All you have to do is ask. Echo begins working as soon as it detects the wake word. "
I call it smart speaker because 97% of the Echo consists of speakers and the sound molding mechanisms.
