Amazon Echo Show 11 on a TV screen

The Echo Show has come a long way since its humble beginnings. The latest smart display from Amazon came out in the winter of 2025 and, for the first time, brings Fire TV integrated into the display, so you can stream your shows directly on it, as well as Alexa+ AI voice control, among other improvements. Right now, the 11-inch Echo Show 11 is $169.99 (originally $219.99) and the 8-inch Echo Show 8 is $139.99 (originally $179.99), both at their lowest prices according to price-tracking tools.

The Amazon Echo Show 11 replaced the 3rd Generation Echo Show 10. One of the obvious differences is the smaller size, but the screen is actually bigger since the bezels are much smaller, giving it a more modern look. The sound is much better as well, with forward-facing speakers and a subwoofer that can fill up a room with sound. The resolution on the display has been bumped to 1,920 by 1,200 pixels, which is better but still underwhelming considering it's not 4K. Some of the more subtle upgrades are the new support for Matter, Thread, and Zigbee, essentially covering almost every smart home device.

If you had the 3rd Gen Echo Show 10, you'll notice the physical camera shutter is gone (you can still disable the camera in settings), as well as the swivel camera feature that follows you around (it is now mounted in place). Amazon's new Alexa+ generative AI is free for Prime members, otherwise, it'll be $19.99 per month. Alexa+ can do anything you'd expect it to; it's conversational, can control your devices without needing to say the exact words in the right order, and will remember past conversations. You can check out more details on PCMag's "excellent" review.

What do you think so far?

The Echo Show 11 and 8 are the same device, even in audio; the only difference is the screen size and the price.
