Amazon Unveils Five New Alexa Devices Including a 16-Inch Echo Show

Amazon announced a lineup of five new Alexa-enabled devices, expanding its smart-home portfolio. The next-generation Echo Dot now includes a built-in smart-home hub and an eero Wi-Fi extender that can add up to 1,000 square feet of coverage. Powered by Amazon’s AZ3 silicon and an AI accelerator, the speaker offers improved voice detection and background-noise filtering, and it is priced at $99.99, with a Kids edition at $109.99 that bundles a year of Amazon Kids+.

The Echo Studio has been updated with a built-in camera and enhanced room-mapping capabilities, allowing Alexa to recognize objects and provide visual assistance. The model with the camera is priced at $249.99, while the original version remains $219.99.

A new Echo Time smart bedside clock features a sunrise-simulating display and Omnisense sleep-sensing technology that can wake users during lighter sleep phases. It is available for $199.99, with a Kids version at $209.99 including a year of Kids+.

Amazon also launched an Alexa Photo Frame that syncs automatically with Amazon Photos, displaying recent images on a 10-inch anti-glare touchscreen. The frame costs $199.99 for the black version and $229.00 for wood-grain finishes.

The Echo Show 16, an upgrade of the Echo Show 15, offers a 16-inch high-definition screen that is 10% larger and 40% thinner, with a nanomatte option that reduces glare by more than 90%. It includes a wider-field camera with auto-framing and night-vision, and supports a full Fire TV experience. Pre-orders start at $499.99, or $569.99 with the nanomatte screen, with shipping slated for later this year.
