Amazon's Echo Show smart displays fall back to all-time lows
Both devices are over 50 percent off.
A few of the Echo Show devices are touting major sales right now, dropping to their all-time-low prices. The 2023 third-generation Echo Show 5 has fallen to $40 from $90 — a 56 percent discount. The Echo Show 8 is marked down nearly as much, with a 54 percent discount bringing its price to $60 from $130.
It's currently 56 percent off.
The third-gen Echo Show 5 is a great option if you're looking for a simple smart home device that does all the basics your family needs. Its 5.5-inch 960 x 480 resolution display is perfect for checking the weather, picking a song or displaying your favorite photos. It also has a 2MP camera for making video calls or checking in on your home while you're away. Listen to Prime Video, Spotify and more through its 1.7-inch speaker.
While there's a newer Echo Show 8 available, there's still a lot to love about the second-gen model (and not just that it comes without a $150 price tag). The eight-inch screen has a 1,200 x 800 resolution display that can do all the same things the Echo Show 5 can, just in better quality — plus, it can stream Netflix, while its counterpart can't. The Echo Show 8 also comes with a 13MP camera with auto-framing to look your best while on video calls.
