Review
The Echo Show 8 (4th Gen) represents a complete reimagining of Amazon's popular smart display. Released in November 2025, it features a larger 8.7-inch HD display with a sleek redesigned spherical base that replaces the previous wedge shape.
Powered by the new AZ3 Pro processor, it delivers enhanced AI capabilities through Alexa+ early access. The Omnisense feature uses the device's 13MP camera along with sensors to create an intelligent ambient AI experience that recognizes you as you approach.
The audio system has been completely overhauled with powerful stereo speakers from the Echo Studio and a custom woofer that delivers double the bass of its predecessor, making it perfect for music and entertainment in open living spaces.
As a comprehensive smart home hub, it seamlessly controls your connected devices while the 13MP camera enables high-quality video calls with friends and family.
