It’s not surprising that Amazon’s best Black Friday deals would come on their own huge array of devices, but this one that just dropped today seems generous even by Black Friday standards. The Echo Show 8 — Amazon’s redesigned top-of-the-line smart home hub — is just $80 during the limited-time deal that’s just arrived. That’s a 47% plunge from the Echo Show 8’s normal $150 price tag, and it’s the lowest price ever offered by Amazon for this device.
The most recent iteration of the Echo Show 8 comes with improved spatial audio, room acoustic sensing, and noise reduction for video calls. The processor is faster than ever, and the new design expands the 8-inch HD color display to full edge-to-edge glass with a centered camera.
Alexa’s Best Friend
If you have an Echo Show 8 on your countertop or desk, you have all of Alexa’s vast powers at your service just for the asking. Voice commands delivered to the Echo Show 8 can have you answering your video doorbell, playing any song from a massive online array of choices, watching a movie or show from numerous streaming services, or just setting a timer to remind you to take something out of the oven.
This is also the best version of the Echo Show for video calls, with the auto-framing 13-megapixel camera giving your friend or loved one a crystal-clear lag-free view. Noise cancelling tech and newly updated spatial audio will ensure your conversation is as clear as your picture.
So Much Content
Every corner of the huge streaming universe is at your fingertips or voice command with the Echo Show 8. It’s naturally compatible with Amazon Prime Video, but also Netflix, Fire TV, Hulu, Tubi, and others. If you’d rather listen than watch, Amazon Music, Spotify, Apple Music, Audible, SiriusXM, and Pandora are among your choices.
The entertainment value of the Echo Show 8 is immense, but it’s also an amazingly practical device when it comes to running a smart, connected home. You can pair and control devices with Zigbee, Matter, and Thread without needing a separate hub. Smart plugs, video doorbells, security cameras, thermostats, and more can now be seamlessly paired and controlled with one convenient and powerful hub.
If you’re still an online-safety skeptic, the Echo Show 8 comes equipped with multiple layers of privacy protection, including an off button for both the mic and camera, and the ability to delete your voice recordings.
Even Amazon’s flash sales have never brought the price of the Echo Show 8 as low as this Black Friday deal. It’s an incredible buy at just $80, nearly half off the usual $150 price.
