Mains on: Amazon Echo Show 8 (2nd Gen) Revue

The Amazon Echo 8 show was not around, but at that time, it really owns its role of the echo range. By providing more features and features that the Amazon 5 echo show at a significantly lower price than the Amazon Echo 10 show, Amazon Echo show provides lots of value for money.

What the second generation of the mid-range intelligent display aims to provide is a new 13 megapixel wide-angle camera that numerically and zooms during video calls and a new octa-core processor to interrogate the Screen between applications faster. You also have dual stereo speakers on board and the 8-inch eponymous HD screen with an adaptive color.

The result, so far, looks like a functional and aesthetically enjoyable intelligent screen that can bring calls to family and friends and play your favorite songs and service shows like Amazon Music Unlimited and Amazon Prime Video. We still do not know that it deserves an upgrade of an original echo show for one of the new features, but if you are a newcomer in the smart home space and looking for A smart screen, the brand new show Amazon Echo 8 could be a good option for you.

Price and exit date

The Amazon Echo 8 show will be available from June 9, 2021 for $ 129.99 / £ 119.99 / CA $ in two colors, charcoal and white glacier.

As a comparison, the Amazon Echo 10 show costs $ 249.99 / £ 239.99 £ / 399,99 £ / 399,99 £, while the new Amazon Echo 5 show (Gen 2. 2) costs $ 84.99 / 74.99 £ / £ 119. The show Amazon Echo 8 falls well between these two and is a nice ground in terms of price and functionality.

That said, not only the Amazon echo show 8 the mid-range champion of the Amazon range, but it is also at a price of a price between the new Google Nest 2 hub and Google Nest Hub Max. We will compare both at the bottom below, but if you look only the price of the sticker, the echo show presents the clear advantage here.

Design

Certainly, there is not a huge aesthetically aesthetically between the old Amazon 8 echo show and the new show Amazon Echo 8 – the shells are almost identical. On the front telescope, you will find the new 13MP camera and the 8-inch 1280 x 800 resolution screen, but otherwise there is nothing else to see it.

In addition to the echo show 8 are the volume up / down and Alexa control buttons, but there is also the Mute button that turns off the microphone and a slide to cover the camera. It’s a negotiable for private life enthusiasts and it’s great to have it here.
