A Sleek New Look

Speed and Smart Home Control
Powered by an improved processor, the Echo Show 8 delivers faster display responses compared to its predecessor.

Built-in Smart Home Hub
Amazon has integrated a smart home hub within the Echo Show 8, offering support for multiple protocols, including Zigbee, Sidewalk, Thread, Bluetooth, and Matter. This versatile hub allows users to effortlessly control compatible lights, locks, sensors, and other smart devices from a single platform.
