Amazon used to blast out dozens of products onstage at annual hardware events. If this October is any indication, the company has wisely changed its strategy to put more focus on each new product with its own launch. The latest round of launches focuses on Echo products, including speakers, smart displays, as well as a smart photo frame.
All products, save for the new Echo Show 16 (which might be the most interesting of the bunch), are available to buy today. This includes the Echo Dot , the Echo Studio with Home Camera , the Echo Time , and the Alexa Photo Frame . The Show 16 isn’t launching until December 16th, though you can preorder it now to save $100 off the cost.
I’m going to spin through each of the products below, just so you can view them all in one place in case you’re considering making a purchase (or a few) soon.
The latest Echo Dot features 50 percent more bass, and faster on-device processing for handling conversations with Alexa Plus. There’s also an extra mic to better hear you around the house, plus Omnisense, a temperature- and presence-sensing tech, which can seamlessly control smart home devices.
The latest Echo Studio simply adds a camera and Alexa Plus smarts into the mix. After launch, Amazon will enable pairing with Fire TV devices to let your video calls show up on the big screen.
While not Amazon’s first bedside alarm clock, this one’s focused on helping you sleep better, and it doesn’t have a camera. It can detect your sleep stage via ultrasound and use smart alarms to ease you into the day, but only if you want it to.
A 10-inch anti-glare touchscreen that comes in a few design options. It’s a frame that features Alexa, and doubles as a smart speaker. It works with Amazon Photos, which offers unlimited storage for Prime members.
Amazon’s most powerful (and best-sounding) smart display yet, with eight woofers and two tweeters sandwiched between its stand and screen. It’s VESA-compatible, and there’s a pricier nanomatte screen option.
