Get the latest Echo Show 8 for 40 percent off. The 2023 Echo Show 8 brought upgrades inside and out to the smart home gadget. It has spatial audio with room calibration that should make for much fuller sound than the previous models were able to achieve.

Now £25 of its original price, the voice-controlled smart speaker with improved audio is equipped with Alexa and can be added to any room in your home, and with a simple command, you can ask for music, news, weather updates, and more. You can also make calls and control compatible smart home devices, including lighting and home security.

Calling all bargain hunters, today shoppers can score a certified refurbished Amazon Echo Show 8 (1st Gen, 2019 release) and save 44 per cent off. Now discounted to just £59.99, marked down from £107.99, it's a great deal for those on a budget that want a smart home device with a display for video calls and home security. With an 8-inch HD screen, the Echo Show 8 is one of the retailer's most versatile Echo devices; it can display recipes, give you the weather, traffic updates and more.

The new $130 Echo Show 8 takes the top rank as the greatest Alexa smart display, with the Echo Show 10 being more novelty than necessity (that revolving screen doesn't support the $250 price tag). The second iteration of Amazon's mid-sized smart speaker with a display, which was released this month, combines some of the greatest features from the Show 10 (13-megapixel camera, digital zoom, and security camera functions) and compresses them into a more manageable size. The Echo Show 8 has a small enough footprint to sit on a bedside table or a kitchen counter. The Show 8 (available in Charcoal and Glacier White) offers the most bang (and screen size) for your buck, with a virtually identical design to its predecessor (same display, same speakers), but with a bit more behind the hood, including a new octo-core processing and a beefed-up camera. You can still watch shows, listen to music, control your smart home, send out announcements to your family, and check in on friends and family, but you can now zoom with a 13-megapixel camera.

If you've decided that Alexa is the digital assistant you want in your home, the Echo Show 8 is an excellent mid-range smart display. If you've settled on Google Assistant instead and deployed a lot of those speakers, there's probably nothing here that would make starting over a worthwhile endeavor. The Echo Show 8 has a bright, vibrant 8-inch touchscreen display with moderate resolution of 1280 x 800 pixels and very good off-axis viewing angles; a pair of 2.0-inch built-in speakers, plus a passive radiator, that deliver pleasing background music; and a 13-megapixel, wide-angle camera that digitally pans and zooms to keep you in the frame when making video calls. It's a worthy successor to the first-gen Echo Show 8, and enough of a step up to warrant ditching the one you already have--especially if you want to move the first-gen model into another room. And if you're using Echo devices to control your smart home, it's almost impossible to have too many of them around the house.
