Amazon Echo Show 8 (3rd Gen)

The Amazon Echo Show 8 (3rd Gen) significantly upgrades the mid-size smart display with built-in Zigbee, Matter, and Thread smart home hub capabilities. The 8-inch HD adaptive color display and improved spatial audio create an enhanced experience for entertainment, communication, and smart home control.

The integrated smart home hub directly connects Zigbee devices without additional hubs, while Matter and Thread support enables control of the latest smart home accessories. The Thread border router extends mesh networking for Thread and Matter-over-Thread devices throughout your home. This marks a significant upgrade from the 2nd generation which lacked local smart home protocols.

The 13MP camera with auto-framing and enhanced low-light performance keeps video calls clear even in dim rooms. Spatial audio processing creates wider, more immersive sound from the stereo speakers. The adaptive color display adjusts temperature based on room lighting for natural-looking photos and video.

Fire TV integration enables streaming from major services on the HD display. Alexa voice control manages smart home devices, answers questions, displays recipes, and runs thousands of skills. The centered camera position improves video call framing, while the physical shutter ensures privacy when desired. Available in Charcoal and Glacier White.
