The Ultimate Smart Home Command Centre

Simplifying your smart home is a core feature of the new Echo Show 8.

This eliminates the need for multiple separate hubs, streamlining your setup. You can use the intuitive touchscreen or simple voice commands to control everything from smart plugs and lights to doorbells and thermostats. You can even set up routines that are activated by movement, allowing you to trigger lights or other actions just by walking into a room, making your home more responsive and efficient.

Stay Connected with Confidence and Clarity

The Echo Show 8 is designed to keep you closer to your loved ones. The upgraded 13 MP camera features auto-framing, which automatically adjusts the picture to keep you centred during video calls, providing a more natural, face-to-face feel. Noise-reduction technology filters out background distractions, ensuring your voice comes through clearly. The new Top Connections widget allows you to call or send a message to frequent contacts who have the Alexa app or an Echo device with a screen with a single tap. Additionally, the device can turn your home screen into a dynamic digital photo frame with Amazon Photos, using adaptive colour to make your memories look great in any light.
