Buying decision

Should you buy it?

Buy the Echo Show 8 if you want an all-round Alexa screen for the kitchen or living room: reviewers praised its excellent audio with automatic room tuning, a sharp, responsive touchscreen, faster performance, an auto-framing camera, and Zigbee, Thread and Matter hub support. Skip it if you want a big upgrade over the previous model, because the display resolution and camera are unchanged. Bass is limited, and it can't act as an Eero mesh node.

Best for

Alexa homes that want a smart display and hub in one.

Not for
