Trust us, you will find a lot of great things at absolutely irresistible prices on July 16 and 17, although if you’re only interested in an affordable smart display with a decent amount of screen real estate and all of Alexa’s smarts, there’s clearly no point in waiting another five or six days before placing your order.
The Echo Show 8 (2023) comes in black and white colors at the exact same record high discount, supporting “room-filling” spatial audio and smart home controls without the need of a separate hub device. Its 8-inch display is about as sharp as you expect, playing HD content in your bedroom or kitchen from services like Prime Video and Netflix, and impressively enough, the camera on this compact gadget is just as powerful and smart as the one gracing the larger Echo Show 10.
You’re looking at a 13MP auto-framing affair here, which should prove ideal for both personal and business video calls conducted from the comfort of your living room. Of course, the Echo Show 8’s audio skills are the number one thing most prospective buyers probably care about, with Alexa promising to intelligently and intuitively handle all your voice requests for tasks as diverse as playing music, checking the weather, delivering news briefings, and setting timers and alarms.
