Smart speakers are a great invention, but a smart screen is better in rooms like the kitchen or the office. They can do everything a smart speaker can do and more thanks to the onboard camera and screen. Now, thanks to Prime Day, many Echo Show smart screens are same price (Opens in a new tab) As Amazon Echo Dot smart speakers.
Specifically, we’re talking about the Echo Show 8 and the Echo Show 5, both of which are on huge discounts on the last day of Prime Day this year. Both models are at least $50 off their usual price, which puts them in the same price range as a smart speaker. Now that’s a deal that’s hard to refuse.
If only that screen was a little smaller very Small, you can opt to opt for the Echo Show 8 instead. It has a larger 8-inch screen (compared to the 5-inch screen on the Echo Show 5), as well as a camera that can automatically follow you as you move around the room while you’re on a video call with friends or family. Heck, you can even use it to play charades with the people you love without worrying about them not seeing you properly.
Not to mention that the Echo Show 8 packs better speakers in that base, with some decent bass, too. It’s a great buy for about half of it on Prime Day, but it won’t last long!
