The Latest Echo Show 8 Is on Sale at Its Lowest Price Yet
The latest version of Amazon Echo Show 8 was released in September and brought some interesting new features to the third generation Echo Show device. And right now, Amazon has slashed the price of its top smart display device with a 40% discount, bringing it to $89.99 (originally $149.99), the lowest price it’s ever been since their release, according to Camelcamelcamel price history .
Great companion for bed or kitchen
Echo Show devices make a great companion in the kitchen or bedside, especially for those who are visually inclined and/or love Alexa as their smart home assistant. This third generation brings some significant improvements over previous generations, mainly in the audio department and in features that allow it to perform faster.
One of its new features is spatial audio, which can analyze the acoustics of the room it is in and automatically adjust the sound balance for improved quality. Obviously, this is still a single stereo speaker, so don’t expect to be blown away by it. The Amazon Echo Show 8 features an eight-inch, 1280-by-800-pixel touchscreen (hence the name) with Bluetooth. The camera is a 13-megapixel sensor with auto-framing support, so you’ll always be the center of attention during video calls. The processor is an upgrade from the previous model and features an octa-core processor with Amazon’s AZ2 Neural Engine for a smooth user experience.
This sale means that the Echo Show 8 is currently on sale for the same price as the older, slower Echo Show 5 – even its second-generation predecessor is still around $130, making it by far the best buy in to the group. (It’s also much cheaper than the more premium Echo Show 10 , currently priced at $244.99).
The Echo Show 8 is a great device for those who like to follow recipe instructions via video in the kitchen or take hands-free calls. You probably won’t find a similar or better discount on it for a while.
