"The ability to shut off both the camera and the microphone will appeal to those who have privacy concerns regarding these devices," said Dina Abdelrazik, research analyst at Dallas-based Parks Associates, a market research and consulting company specializing in consumer technology products.

"Privacy concerns with always-on listening devices is a key barrier to adoption of voice-first devices," she told TechNewsWorld. "Consumers harbor little trust for device manufacturers in accessing and managing their personal data."
