OUR TOP PICK: All-new Echo Show 8 (2nd Gen, 2021 release) — $129.99
The new Echo Show 8 got a much needed refresh that's perfect for folks who WFH. The updated 13-megapixel camera — the same one featured in the Echo Show 10 — uses auto-framing to keep you centered during your calls. This feature emulates the rotating screen introduced in the Echo Show 10, but without the motorized camera swiveling. This version also comes with an updated MediaTek MT 8183 processor for faster performance, and a built-in camera shutter to protect your privacy.
BEST FOR SMALL SPACES: All-new Echo Show 5 (2nd Gen, 2021 release) — $84.99
Ideal for small nightstands or cramped counters, the compact Echo Show 5 Gen 2's new two-megapixel camera means higher quality video calls — so connecting with friends and family is easy. You'll also get Alexa capabilities and tons of smart home control features to manage your day at a glance. While this model doesn't come with the auto-framing feature, it is priced $5 lower than the previous version of the Echo Show 5, making it a solid deal.
BEST FOR KIDS: Echo Show 5 (2nd Gen) Kids —$94.99
Extend the smart home into your child's room with this designed-for-kids Echo Show 5. Customizable parental controls let you decide what the limits of usage are. Set bedtimes, video limits, filter out certain content, set approved contacts, and review all activity. It also comes with access to a free year of Amazon Kids+, which is loaded with over 15,000 videos, tons of audiobooks, games, and music stations, curated specifically for young ones.
