Amazon is renewing itself for Black Friday that starts today on the platform. The American company has brought to Spain several devices presented last September at its annual event around Alexa devices, among them the Echo Show 8 stands out, one of the most popular smart speakers with a screen on the market.
The third generation Echo Show 8 maintains the essence of the previous models, with a continuous design that offers a considerable size screen on the front, with a webcam with which to make video calls, as well as a speaker on the back for being able to play music in the room. However, everything has been improved in this model.
Specifically, Amazon has placed emphasis on revamping the 2021 model with an exterior and interior redesign that presents a new, more elegant and current design, an improved processor, and a better audio and communications experience. All with the ambition that this speaker becomes the center of the home , which is why it integrates the digital controller compatible with Matter, Zigbee or Threat, with which to easily manage lights, cameras, sensors, doorbells or locks.
The renewal also makes its price ambitious, 40 euros more than the starting price of the previous version . The new model hits the market for 169.99 euros, although during Black Friday it can be found for 139.99 euros . we have tested it during the last week to see first-hand if it is worth taking advantage of the discount.
