speaker and embedded battery, allowing users to access their favorite multimedia content and to
serve as a real smart home bridge. The ARCHOS Mate 5 and 7 will be available in Q1 2019

“More and more families are purchasing voice-enabled devices to make their lives easier. By
combining a display and Alexa into one product, ARCHOS is giving users the flexibility to see and
hear response to their interactions,” declares Loïc Poirier, CEO of ARCHOS.

“We’re excited to work with ARCHOS and bring customers a voice-first product that makes
everyday life easier,” said Jorrit Van der Meulen, VP of Amazon Devices International. “With Alexa
built-in, all you need is your voice to control smart home devices, play music, manage shopping
lists, and more.”

ARCHOS Mate 5 and 7 combine audio, visual and touch inputs, to make everything in your daily
life easier:
 More entertainment: Whether talking or tapping, users have access to a large variety of
     media. They can listen to their favorite playlists through Amazon Music and other popular
     streaming services. At a later date, customers will be able to enjoy the latest binge-worthy
     shows through Amazon Prime Video and thousands of audiobooks available on Audible, as
     well as the ability to display pictures from their photo albums.
 Hands-free video calling and messaging: Thanks to the 5MP camera, Alexa and Skype,
     users can stay in touch with their family and friends. With a simple voice command, they are
     instantly connected to their beloved ones.
 Smarter home: With Alexa built-in, the ARCHOS Mate range can control all smart home
     devices, from security cameras to lights and thermostats, making it easy to check who is at the
     door or to turn off bedroom lights in the kid’s room.
 Personal assistant: Keeping track of the day is simple with Alexa. Users can set up reminders
     for important upcoming events, add ingredients to their list when prepping for their next big
     dinner, and refill the fridge by adding/removing items in their Amazon shopping list – just ask
     Alexa.
