The tech giant also upgraded the Echo Show 8 and Echo Show 5 with better cameras and other new features. Here\u2019s everything you need to know about Amazon\u2019s new Echo Show smart displays, including their features, release date, price, and more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-what-is-an-amazon-echo-show\">What Is an Amazon Echo Show?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>An Echo Show is just like any other Alexa-enabled smart speaker, except it has a screen and a camera. You can use these devices as a digital alarm clock, to see a live feed of your video doorbell, or ask Alexa to watch a video from Netflix, YouTube, and more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you want to know other <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hellotech.com\/blog\/best-alexa-commands-cool-things-alexa-can-do\">cool things you can do with an Alexa smart speaker<\/a>, check out our list here.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-new-echo-show-8-features\">New Echo Show 8 Features<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Amazon made the biggest changes to the new Echo Show 8. While it looks identical to the previous model, this new smart display has a more powerful processor and a 13-megapixel (MP) camera. That\u2019s a huge upgrade over the 1 MP camera that came with the last model.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Not only does the new camera improve your picture quality when making a video call, it can now keep you in the frame. Since it features an ultra-wide camera, this new smart display can digitally pan and zoom, which means the camera will stay focused on you when you move.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-video aligncenter maw-600\"><span data-src=\"https:\/\/www.hellotech.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/ezgif.com-gif-maker-1.mp4\" rel=\"lightbox\" data-fancybox-video><video height=\"338\" style=\"aspect-ratio: 600 \/ 338;\" width=\"600\" autoplay loop muted src=\"https:\/\/www.hellotech.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/ezgif.com-gif-maker-1.mp4\" playsinline><\/video><\/span><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\"> (Image Source: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/dp\/B084DC4LW6?th=1\">Amazon<\/a>) <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>With this powerful camera, this smart display can double as a security camera, so you can monitor your home from your smartphone when you\u2019re away. Then you can talk and listen to any friends, family, or pets from anywhere in the world with the built-in two-way audio system.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large is-resized\"><span data-src=\"https:\/\/www.hellotech.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/echo-show-8-security-camera-1024x576.jpg\" rel=\"lightbox\" data-fancybox><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.hellotech.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/echo-show-8-security-camera-1024x576.jpg\" alt=\"security camera\" class=\"wp-image-22609\" width=\"666\" height=\"0\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.hellotech.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/echo-show-8-security-camera-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.hellotech.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/echo-show-8-security-camera-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.hellotech.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/echo-show-8-security-camera-770x433.jpg 770w, https:\/\/www.hellotech.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/echo-show-8-security-camera.jpg 1600w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/span><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">(Image Source: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=lWL2XazFn74\">Amazon<\/a>)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p>Plus, the new processor allows you to set up Alexa routines for your smart home devices when the camera detects motion.

And, like all smart displays that Amazon has released recently, the camera has a physical camera shutter that you can close when you want privacy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-price-and-release-date\">Price and Release Date<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The new Echo Show 8 is available for pre-order now, but it will not start shipping until June 9.
