’s line of Alexa-powered smart displays has expanded to three models, and the Echo Show 8 sits right in the middle. It has excellent sound quality and a price that won’t break the bank.
Entertainment is more immersive with spatial audio and an 8 HD touch screen. Video calling is crisper with high-quality sound and a 13MP camera. And your home is more connected than ever with the built-in smart home hub. Content on Prime Video, Netflix, Fire TV Channels, and more comes to life with the HD display and room-filling spatial audio. Ask Alexa to stream Music, Apple Music, or Spotify. Subscriptions for some services are required.
