The Amazon Echo Show 8 Gen 3 (2023) smart display boasts a new industrial design with edge-to-edge glass and Adaptive Content, an innovative home screen experience that utilizes on-device computer vision technology to adjust on-screen content based on a user’s proximity to the device. An improved processor offers quicker display responses than its predecessor, while also enabling Alexa to process common smart home requests locally for 40% faster responses to common requests, like turning on / off smart devices.
A built-in 13MP camera, along with an enhanced audio pipeline that minimizes background noise from around the home, make video calls even better. The integrated smart home hub includes support for Zigbee, Sidewalk, Thread, Bluetooth, and Matter, allowing users to easily control compatible lights, locks, as well as sensors. There will also be a $159.99 Echo Show 8 Photos Edition, which unlocks a photo-forward mode on the smart display’s high-resolution screen. This model makes customer-selected personal photos the primary rotating content on the ambient screen every 30-seconds and customers receive 25GB of storage from Amazon Photos. Available October 25th, priced at $149.99 USD. Pre-order here now.
