Amazon has just updated the Echo Show 8 and it doubles as a Smart Home Hub
The 3rd generation of Amazon's Echo Show 8 combines the best features of both the Echo Show and the Echo Hub for your smart home.
I read a report recently that despite selling hundreds of millions of Echo speakers, Amazon's smart speaker business is losing billions of dollars. I doubt the third generation of Echo Show 8 will turn that around, but it's interesting to see the developments in the context of the category's financial challenges.
The Echo Show 8 3rd gen is a bit of a cross between the last generation of Echo Show 8 and the Echo Hub.
It features some minor hardware improvements and a bit of a redesign with the new model. A faster processor promises to answer requests up to 40% faster, according to Amazon.
