May 14, 2021—Amazon has introduced its newest generation of Echo Show devices—the new Echo Show 8 and Echo Show 5. Echo Show is the fastest-growing family of Echo devices, and the new models feature more powerful cameras for better video calling.

“Customers love using Echo Show to stay in touch and in the past year have made nearly three times the number of video calls globally than the year prior,” said Eric Saarnio, Vice President, Amazon Devices EU. “With these new Echo Show devices, we focused on creating experiences that would add even more value to our customers — bringing a powerful camera and digital pan and zoom capabilities to the new Echo Show 8, upgrading the Echo Show 5 camera, and adding the ability to securely access the built-in camera to check in on home when you’re away.”

Echo Show 8—Featuring a 13-megapixel, wide-angle camera that keeps you centred in frame—still just £119.99
The new Echo Show 8 has a vibrant 8-inch HD screen with adaptive colour display; a powerful, 13-megapixel camera with a built-in camera cover; a new octa-core processor; and dual stereo speakers for clear, balanced sound. The upgraded camera automatically pans and zooms while you’re on video calls, so everyone stays centred in the frame. Just ask to make video calls via Alexa or create a group of up to seven family members and simply say, “Alexa, call my Family Group” to join a group call. 

With dual stereo speakers and an HD display, Echo Show 8 delivers an immersive entertainment experience. Simply ask to browse TV series or films from streaming services* like Prime Video and Netflix or ask Alexa to play your favourite music from music services* like Amazon Music, Apple Music, or Spotify. You can also follow step-by-step recipe videos with BBC Good Food. Alexa will also now show you music playlists or station recommendations based on the Amazon Music or Spotify song playing, making it easier to discover your next favourite artist or song.  

Echo Show 8 also helps put your memories on display. You can use Amazon Photos to turn your home screen into a digital frame. Plus, if you’re a Prime member, you have unlimited, full-resolution cloud photo storage with Amazon Photos—and the adaptive colour display on Echo Show 8 makes your photos look great in any light.

You can manage your smart home by controlling compatible devices like lights bulbs, thermostats, and more using the interactive display or your voice. You can also securely access a live feed on Echo Show 8 from your account on the Alexa app or other Echo Show devices to monitor your home anytime— look around and get peace of mind whenever you want.
