The weather forecast readout, with the temperature and a little cloud, sun, or rain icon, is more useful and slightly faster than listening to Alexa say the forecast.

Now that it's made out of a grid of LED dots, the Echo Dot can scroll text horizontally across its front, which looks much better than the less-dynamic, fourth-generation Dot.
