The Newest Amazon Echo Show 8 is 40% Off Right Now

The latest Amazon Echo Show 8 was released in the fall of 2023, bringing some cool new features to the third-generation Echo Show device. And right now, Amazon has dropped the price of the Echo Show 8 by 40%, bringing it down to $89.99 (originally $149.99), the lowest price it has hit since its release. If you've been thinking of grabbing one of these, now might be a good time to strike.

A great bedside or kitchen companion

Echo Show devices make a great kitchen or bedside companion, especially for those who are visually inclined and/or like Alexa as their smart home assistant. This new version has seen some great improvements over the previous generations, mainly in the audio department and with specs that help it perform faster.

One of its new features is spatial audio, which can analyze the acoustics of the room it’s in and auto-adjust its sound balance to improve the quality. Obviously, it’s still a single-stereo speaker, so don’t expect it to blow your mind. The Amazon Echo Show 8 gives you a 1,280 by 800-pixel, 8-inch touch screen (hence the name) with Bluetooth. The camera has a 13MP sensor that supports auto-framing, so you'll always be the center of attention on your video calls.

This sale means the Echo Show 8 is currently the same price as the older, slower Echo Show 5—even its second-generation predecessor still goes for around $130, making it far and away the best buy in the group. (It is also much cheaper than the more premium Echo Show 10, which is currently priced at $249.99).

The Echo Show 8 is a great device for those who like to follow recipe instructions with video in the kitchen or take hands-free calls. You can read the full "outstanding" PCMag review here.
