How to get Amazon Alexa on any Android phone. We detail how to get Amazon's voice assistant Alexa on your Android phone using Logitech's ZeroTouch application so you can control your smart devices by voice.
On Tuesday 7 February, the UK launched Amazon's Alexa Voice Service along with new developer tools from Echosim.io. They serve as part of Amazon's biggest push to get their voice aide in more places than ever before and more importantly, more venues than the competition.
While owners Echo and Echo Dot will already be familiar with Alexa, after inviting her to their homes, CES 2017 showed us that the great players from all over the place, especially the automotive space, are preparing to add support to their products, Including the likes of Ford, VW, Honda, and Volvo. The good thing is that you do not have to wait for the next Fiesta before you can release the genius of your lamp since Logitech seems to be one of the first companies to take Alexa out of the Eco and into your Android phone.
We have already tested and tested Logitech's ZeroTouch Car Mounts, which offer a hands-free solution and, most importantly, no eyes for smartphone interaction while driving, but so far the set of functions of the ZeroTouch's complimentary application was limited to the essentials: and responding to emails, text messages and WhatsApp messages, as well as navigation and call handling.
Along with the expansion of AVS in the UK, Logitech has taken the opportunity to become not only the first to put Alexa in his car, but also in the nature of the ZeroTouch product line.
At present, the main caveat is that it is necessary to own the ZeroTouch company air blower or mount the dashboard, but no one explicitly states that they have to use it in the car. Whenever you have chosen one of them and downloaded the ZeroTouch application (Amazon's Alexa application is an optional extra if you have not already set up Alexa), you should be able to log in to your Amazon account as part of the new installation process and bring Alexa in Your phone will only have to be paired to one of the mounts via Bluetooth to work.
If that does not float your boat, those interested in the Huawei Mate 9 will find the pre-installed Amazon digital assistant Stateside and come to existing owners in markets such as the UK in the near future.
Looking to control your thermostat or your Philips tone lights using Alexa on your Android phone (sorry iOS, coming later)? You can pick up the ZeroTouch Air Vent and ZeroTouch Dashboard at half the price of Carphone Warehouse for the next month (£24.99 and £29.99 instead of £49.99 and £59.99, respectively) while the ZeroTouch application is free to download from Play Store and support Android devices running version 4.4 or later.
