This model has the perfect-sized screen at 8 inches. It’s just the right size to fit on your desk, end table, entertainment center, or nightstand. It doesn’t take up as much room as the Amazon Echo Show 15, and you won’t have to squint to see the screen like you might on the Echo Show 5.
Dual speakers power the sound and, in combination with spatial audio, movies and TV shows come to life in front of you. This model supports streaming services like Netflix, Amazon Prime, Fire TV, and others. There’s also a front-facing camera for video calls.
There are numerous layers of privacy built into the Echo Show 8. You can turn the microphone and camera off with the flick of a button, and the camera shutter can also be switched to the off position.
This smart home hub can serve as the control center for all your smart home devices, including your smart light switch, smart bulbs, all your smart kitchen appliances, and more.
