Echo Show 8 has better sound with room-filling spatial audio, better calling with a centered, auto-framing camera, and better smart home integration with a built-in smart home hub, all on an 8” HD touch screen.
Play your favorites on repeat, call hands-free, scroll through old photos, and get updates on your home.
All you have to do is say the word.

Video call with a centered, auto-framing 13 MP camera and noise reduction technology. The Top Connections widget keeps your home devices and contacts in view, so you can quickly communicate with friends and family.

Alexa is there when you need help during an emergency; just use your voice to call for help and connect with dedicated urgent response agents, available 24/7. Agents can triage your situation, request police, fire, or ambulance dispatch, and stay with you on the line until help arrives. You can also pre-save critical information (e.g., gate codes, allergies) to expedite response times and receive Smart Alerts if your smoke or carbon monoxide alarms are triggered. Get started with Alexa Emergency Assist. Subscription required.
Alexa can help kids learn and grow—while having fun along the way. And with free parental controls from Amazon Kids, Alexa will automatically give kid-friendly responses, filter explicit lyrics, and block shopping. Children’s privacy is important to us. Discover how kids can use Alexa, watch helpful how-to videos, get answers to FAQs, and more.
Alexa and Echo Show devices are built with multiple layers of privacy protection. From the mic/camera off button and built-in camera shutter to the ability to delete your voice recordings, you have transparency and control over your Alexa experience.
