New 13MP camera for video calls, Cheaper than the Echo Show 10, Alexa has a wide range of skills, Easy to group speakers together
Audio quality can still be improved, Requires you to remember commands, Only a 1280 x 800 resolution, No built-in Zigbee hub
The Amazon Echo Show 8 (2021) offers a superior camera for enhanced video calls and a faster processor, but not the best audio quality or screen resolution. We'll need to spend some more time with it to put it through its paces, but so far it's proven to...
Camera keeps user in frame on video calls, Vibrant adaptive display, Superb room-filling sound
Recycles same design as before
Yes, if you really need that pan-and-zoom function with video calls. If not, stick with the original model because it's functionally no different.Editors' RecommendationsEcho Show 5 (1st Gen) vs. Echo Show 5 (2nd Gen): What's the difference? Shark IQ Robo...
Abstract: Smart speakers are popular, and for good reason: In addition to playing music, you can ask a smart speaker a question, and it answers back. But speakers are limited to telling you what you want rather than showing you. The concept of "show, don't tell" is...

The new Echo Show 8 is a good mid-range smart speaker but is only worth upgrading if you own a non-screen Echo speaker or the older Echo Show 5. If you have an older generation Echo Show 8, you might want to skip upgrading to the 2021 Echo Show 8. There's...
Cámara excelente, Buen sonido, Seguimiento de encuadre y zoom
Pocas actualizaciones, Sin puerto jack de 3,5 mm
La segunda generación del Echo Show 8 es básicamente lo mismo que el modelo anterior, pero la nueva cámara y la vista remota son grandes mejoras.Por supuesto, puedes comprar el dispositivo de primera generación con un gran descuento, pero si quieres usar...
Abstract: Amazon, géant du e-commerce, est sur tous les fronts, mais nous ne sommes guère surpris venant de leur part! Si je vous parle de Cerise ? Vous êtes nombreux à me répondre Groupama, et si je vous parle d'Alexa ? Vous pensez immédiatement à Amazon. En effe...
Un smart screen polyvalent, La fonction caméra de surveillance est un plus sympathique, Alexa entend et comprend bien
mais pas idéal dans la chambre, Le son n'est pas génial, Le parc installé limite l'usage en visioconférence
À l'heure du bilan, l'Echo Show 8 2eme gen coche une bonne partie des cases. S'il n'est pas avare en fonctionnalités et remplit généralement son office, il manque le coche par endroit. On pense principalement à la partie audio et à l'usage "radio-réveil c...
