Amazon Echo Show 8: Bigger, but still compact
The Amazon Echo Show 8 is just like that Echo Show 5, but now positions itself between the 5 and 10 inch model. So there is not really any news to announce here, as it has the same features as the 5-inch model. The only innovation here is the slightly larger display in a compact format.
From November 21, the Echo Show 8 will be available on Amazon for a price of 129,99 euros in the colors anthracite and sandstone. You can already pre-order here.
Amazon Echo (3rd Gen): The Echo Plus is no longer available
While the Amazon Echo Dots are already in the 3rd generation, the larger Echo was not yet. So far there has been an Amazon Echo and an Amazon Echo Plus. The Plus version includes its own Smart Home Bridge, which means that some smart gadgets do not have a separate bridge. This is always necessary so that the gadget can access the Internet or home network.
Now you pack everything in one package and include the bridge in the normal Amazon Echo. This means that the plus model will no longer be available in the future and will be cheaper. The new Amazon Echo starts with us on October 16 at a price of 99,99 euros. You can pre-order here.
Amazon Echo Studio
The name is not really meaningful when you first listen. Specifically, the Amazon Echo Studio is a premium speaker that should easily keep up with devices from Sonos, Bose & Co. It also supports Dolby Atmos and can use integrated microphones to adapt the sound to the room individually. The sound should be audible 360 degrees throughout the room.
So you now have a high-end device with you in addition to the - well, rather solid sounding - echo speakers. Of course, this also supports voice input with Alexa. It will be available from us at a price of 199,99 euros from November 7th - you can order it here in advance.
