The Echo Show 8 has always been Amazon’s sweet spot in their smart display lineup – not too big, not too small, just right for most spaces. But this latest generation is more than just another screen with Alexa inside. It’s a handy little hub that finally delivers on the promise of making your smart home actually feel smart. And it can do so much more.
Here’s where it gets interesting: Amazon has slashed the price from $150 to $85 – a significant 43% discount that saves you $65. At this price point, it transitions from a “much better” to an attractive smart home upgrade
The door to your personal smart home
This is the new version of Echo Show 8, so it has a lot of upgrades. The 8-inch HD display is now paired with spatial audio for an amazingly immersive entertainment experience. The 13MP camera makes video calls look smooth and professional, while smart features like auto-framing keep you focused even when you’re in your kitchen making dinner.
What sets this generation apart is its built-in smart home hub, supporting ZigBee, Matter and Thread devices without the need for additional hardware. This means your smart lights, cameras and other devices can connect directly to the Show 8Simplifying your smart home setup and reducing clutter. What’s more, you can connect multiple devices to each other in different rooms. This means you can have some intercom systems, use them for voice or video calls, or get better sound through multiple speakers.
The adaptive content feature is particularly clever – it shows you different information based on how far away you are from the device. Check your calendar from across the room, or get detailed information when you’re nearby. Combined with the new Top Connect widget, it makes everyday tasks like video calling as easy as a single tap
For those concerned about privacy, Amazon has built in multiple layers of control, including muting the physical mic and clear indicators when features are active. You don’t have to worry about any potential audience, so if it’s a concern, you can kill it immediately.
What you want to concern yourself with is how affordable this deal is. This is going to be one of the last offers of the season, so if you’re interested in trying one out, make sure you grab yours soon. It won’t last long, so head into the new year with some great savings.
