Amazon absolutely destroys the newest Echo Show 8’s price with no special requirements

Amazon absolutely destroys the newest Echo Show 8’s price with no special requirements،

It's (obviously) not Black Friday or Cyber ​​Monday yet, the holiday season just ended a few weeks ago, and if history is any indication, the first big Prime Day event of Amazon of 2024 is still several months away. But none of this stops the e-commerce giant from selling the Echo Show 8 released in 2023 at a very special price, out of nowhere and for a presumably limited time.

This is the third and obviously final edition of the mid-sized Alexa-enabled smart display, and since you're looking at a completely random deal offered outside of special sales like Prime Day, you don't need to respond to special requirements or jump through all the hoops to shave $60 (or 40%) off a list price of $149.99 that never really seemed that excessive to begin with.
After all, the Google Assistant-powered Nest Hub Max normally costs $229, and while the Echo Show 8 (3rd gen) is clearly smaller, it's in no way less powerful or versatile than the “classic” Nest Hub » from Google (2nd generation). , which usually costs $99.99.

Compared to its own predecessor, this new generation of Echo Show 8 is marketed as being “better inside and out”, supporting among other things “room-filling” spatial audio technology while sporting a decidedly familiar yet subtly refined exterior design, made from 29% recycled materials.

Not only is the front camera conveniently positioned in the center of this bad boy's top screen bezel, but it also comes equipped with auto-framing technology that can come in handy during video calls, and best of all, the smart camera cheaper than ever. The display also incorporates Zigbee Smart Home Hub functionality to keep your home organized using just a few compatible accessories and nothing else.

The touchscreen component certainly isn't bad, sporting a resolution of 1280 x 800 pixels, while the sound quality should be quite impressive for a sub-$100 product when you factor in spatial audio support aforementioned and the more than respectable 2-inch size of the Echo Show 8 2023's built-in stereo speakers with an included passive bass radiator.

When it comes to smart displays (and even smart speakers), this might just be the best value proposition on the market today, but it would probably be a good idea to hurry up and place your order before the $60 discount inevitably disappears.
