Amazon has expanded its Echo smart speaker and display range to an overwhelming degree, launching four new models late last year while simultaneously raising prices across the board. The company now offers everything from a $40 Pop to a $350 Show 15, with the latest additions including the Echo Dot Max, Echo Studio (2nd Gen), Echo Show 11, and Echo Show 8 (4th Gen).
The New Echo Models: Sound and Display Upgrades
Amazon's most recent Echo devices, launched late last year, represent significant upgrades in audio and visual capabilities. The Echo Dot Max ($120) packs a 2.5-inch woofer and 1-inch tweeter for impressive sound in a compact form, while the Echo Studio (2nd Gen) delivers audiophile-grade audio with three 1.5-inch drivers and a 3.75-inch woofer, earning its place as the best Alexa speaker for sound quality.
For smart displays, the Echo Show 11 ($250) features an 11-inch 1920 x 1200 resolution screen, a 13-MP camera with auto-framing, and spatial audio with Dolby Atmos. The Echo Show 8 (4th Gen) offers a more affordable 8-inch display with 1280 x 800 resolution and two 2-inch speakers, though reviewers note it falls short of the older third-generation model's sound quality.
Price Hikes Across the Echo Lineup
Amazon increased prices across its product range last month, citing increased storage and memory costs. The Echo Dot (5th Gen) saw a $30 increase to $80, while the Echo Dot Max rose $20 to $120. The Echo Show 11 also increased by $30, and the Echo Show 8 (4th Gen) by $20, making the new models more expensive than their predecessors.
The price increases affected other Echo devices as well, including the Echo Show 15 ($50 increase) and Echo Show 21 ($100 increase). Amazon's spokesperson attributed the hikes to rising component costs, though the impact on consumers is felt across the entire Echo ecosystem, from budget-friendly options to premium models.
Best Picks by Use Case
For those seeking a simple voice-controlled device, the Echo Dot (5th Gen) at $80 remains the most affordable option, though the Echo Dot Max offers superior sound for just $40 more. The Echo Spot (2nd Gen) is ideal for bedside tables with its half-circle screen and no camera, while the Echo Dot Kids (5th Gen) provides parental controls and a year of Amazon Kids+ for $80.
The Echo Studio (2nd Gen) stands out for audiophiles with its powerful sound, tap controls, and early access to Alexa+. Meanwhile, the Echo Show 11 is the best smart display for the updated Alexa+ assistant, offering Matter and Thread smart home hub support alongside its premium audio features.
