Echo Show 8 Smart Devices

Smart speakers just keep getting better and better. Get an Echo Show 8 (3rd Gen) for $109.99, 27% off, before Amazon Prime Day, and bring spatial audio to your home, while also using it as a smart home hub.

This newest generation offers faster responses, thanks to Amazon’s upgraded processor, and it now supports adaptive content. The display changes based on your proximity – glanceable info when you’re far, and interactive elements when you’re close.

Echo Show 8 Voice Control

Working with the spatial audio is the 8” HD touchscreen and 13 MP camera. The two together allow you to participate in video calling with crisp sound, hands-free, or with the Top Connections widget. Your face will always be centered with the auto-framing camera.

Concerned about privacy? The Echo Show 8 includes a built-in camera shutter and microphone/camera off button, giving you full control over when it’s watching or listening.

The touchscreen and audio will come to life when watching Prime Video, Netflix, Fire TV channels, and more. Use the same audio to stream Amazon Music, Apple Music, and Spotify. Use the Echo as a digital photo frame as well, with Amazon Photos. Check your calendar and reminders on the home screen or while you are away.

Echo Show 8 Playing Music

The Echo Show 8 also works as a smart home hub. Control smart lights, doorbells, thermostats, etc., that are compatible with Matter, Thread, and Zigbee. Use your voice and Alexa to control the devices, or use the touchscreen on the speaker. You can also control devices that connect through Bluetooth and Wi-Fi. With Alexa built in, you can use voice commands to set timers, get news updates, drop in on other Echo devices, or even control your Ring doorbell – all without lifting a finger.

Take 27% off the price of this Echo in Charcoal or Glacier White and pay just $109.99. As another bonus, it’s made from 29% recycled materials, and 99% of the packaging is made of wood fiber-based materials from managed forests and recycled sources.

Otto von Bismarck was 74 when Germany adopted the world’s first national old-age social insurance program in 1889, setting the pension age at 70 after years of fighting socialists with bans, laws, and a promise few workers would live long enough to use
When cosmonaut Valeri Polyakov stepped out of his Soyuz capsule in March 1995 after 437 consecutive days aboard Mir, doctors recorded him at several centimetres above his pre-flight height, and his spine had become so unaccustomed to gravity that the recovery team carried him to a chair rather than risk the compression of letting him walk.

When Edme Mariotte stared at marks on a wall in the 1660s, one mark vanished inside a six-degree hole where the optic nerve leaves the eye and the brain has been filling in wallpaper, sky, and faces ever since
When seismic waves from the Chicxulub impact reached what is now North Dakota roughly ten minutes after the asteroid struck, they appear to have triggered a ten-metre standing wave in an inland river that flung fish onto the bank and buried them under glass beads still falling from the sky.
When survivors near Lake Nyos woke on the morning of 22 August 1986, the cattle were dead in the fields, the birds had fallen out of the trees, and 1,746 of their neighbours were lying where they had stood the night before, with no fire, no flood, and no wound to explain it.
In 1959, a Soviet research team in Novosibirsk began breeding silver foxes for nothing but tameness, and within forty generations the animals had floppy ears, curled tails, piebald coats, and a bark, traits no one had selected for but which appeared on their own once fear was removed.
