The Newest Echo Show Is $50 Off Right Now

The Echo Show has come a long way from its humble beginnings. Amazon’s latest smart display was released in winter 2025 and, for the first time, has Fire TV integrated into the screen, so you can stream your shows directly to it, as well as Alexa+ AI voice control, among other improvements. Right now, the 11-inch Echo Show 11 costs $169.99 (originally $219.99) and the 8-inch Echo Show 8 costs $139.99 (originally $179.99), both at their lowest prices according to price trackers.

The Amazon Echo Show 11 replaced the 3rd generation Echo Show 10. One of the obvious differences is the smaller size, but the screen is actually larger since the bezels are much smaller, giving it a more modern look. The sound is also much better, with front-facing speakers and a subwoofer that can fill a room with sound. The screen resolution has been increased to 1920 x 1200 pixels, which is better but still disappointing considering it’s not 4K. Some of the more subtle upgrades are new support for Matter, Thread, and Zigbee, essentially covering almost all smart home devices.

If you had the 3rd generation Echo Show 10, you’ll notice that the physical camera shutter is gone (you can still turn the camera off in settings), as well as the swivel camera feature that follows you (it’s now mounted in place). Amazon’s new generative AI Alexa+ is free for Prime members, otherwise it will cost $19.99 per month. Alexa+ can do everything you want it to do; it’s conversational, can control your devices without needing to say the exact words in the correct order, and will remember past conversations. You can check out more details at PCMag’s “excellent” review.

The Echo Show 11 and 8 are the same device, even in audio; the only difference is screen size and price.
