Not much reason to upgrade if you have the original
In my opinion at $199 (currently on sale for $149) the Echo Show 8 with it's dual speakers, 13MP camera and 1280×800 screen is the value for money “just right” middle choice compared to the Echo Show 5 ($79) which has a much weaker single speaker and only...

High-res camera with tracking, Physical camera lens cover
Audio is a little bass-heavy, Potential privacy concerns with the camera
With plenty of screen real estate, an excellent front camera for video calls, the Amazon Echo Show 8 (2nd gen) could be the star of the show in Alexa-centric homes...

The Echo Show 8 is still the best Echo Show display in terms of size, functionalities, and prize. The second generation adds a faster processor and a huge bump in the camera departmentProsPerfect size8″ clear displayBuilt-in controls for volume and privac...
Abstract: Smart speakers are popular, and for good reason: In addition to playing music, you can ask a smart speaker a question, and it answers back. But speakers are limited to telling you what you want rather than showing you. The concept of "show, don't tell" is...

The new Echo Show 8 is a good mid-range smart speaker but is only worth upgrading if you own a non-screen Echo speaker or the older Echo Show 5. If you have an older generation Echo Show 8, you might want to skip upgrading to the 2021 Echo Show 8. There's...
Cámara excelente, Buen sonido, Seguimiento de encuadre y zoom
Pocas actualizaciones, Sin puerto jack de 3,5 mm
La segunda generación del Echo Show 8 es básicamente lo mismo que el modelo anterior, pero la nueva cámara y la vista remota son grandes mejoras.Por supuesto, puedes comprar el dispositivo de primera generación con un gran descuento, pero si quieres usar...
Abstract: Amazon, géant du e-commerce, est sur tous les fronts, mais nous ne sommes guère surpris venant de leur part! Si je vous parle de Cerise ? Vous êtes nombreux à me répondre Groupama, et si je vous parle d'Alexa ? Vous pensez immédiatement à Amazon. En effe...
Un smart screen polyvalent, La fonction caméra de surveillance est un plus sympathique, Alexa entend et comprend bien
mais pas idéal dans la chambre, Le son n'est pas génial, Le parc installé limite l'usage en visioconférence
À l'heure du bilan, l'Echo Show 8 2eme gen coche une bonne partie des cases. S'il n'est pas avare en fonctionnalités et remplit généralement son office, il manque le coche par endroit. On pense principalement à la partie audio et à l'usage "radio-réveil c...
