Amazon on Tuesday (January 20) launched a new line of Echo Show 11, Echo Show 8 (4th gen) smart display-cum-speaker series in India.
Echo Show 11 (11-inch full HD) and Echo Show 8 (8.7-inch HD) feature an edge-to-edge glass display to support vivid colours and sharp picture definition.
They come in sleek design, thin bezels that maximise the displays’ viewing area, and visually-pleasing 3D-knit fabric around the speakers.
They also feature a 13MP camera with centred auto-framing and noise reduction technology, which enables clear video calls and conversations with friends and family, provided they have similar Echo smart displays or the Alexa app on their phones.
The new Echo devices come with front-firing stereo speakers and a custom woofer for room-filling sound with spatial audio. The full-range drivers are placed under the displays and are designed to fire audio frontwards to deliver clear sound with crisp vocals directly toward the customer.

Both the Echo Show 11 and Echo Show 8 are powered by AZ3 Pro, a custom-designed silicon chip to ensure the Alexa assistant understand and respond faster to user queries. It is also integrated with Omnisense, a custom sensor platform designed for ambient AI. It uses a range of sensors and signals, including the 13-megapixel (MP) camera, audio, ultrasound, Wi-Fi radar, accelerometer, and Wi-Fi CSI to deliver personalised, proactive, and helpful Alexa experiences.
With sensitive sensors, the speakers will enable automated responses like adjusting compatible smart lights when someone enters a room or triggering temperature-based routines when the room reaches a certain temperature. Customers can set up smart home routines through the Alexa app.
Like the previous iterations, Amazon has incorporated user privacy features, including a physical microphone on/off button, and in-app and on-device camera controls. The company also offers the option to view and delete voice recordings in the Alexa app.
Echo Show 11 is available in Graphite and Glacier White colours at Rs 26,999, and Echo Show 8 is available in Graphite and Glacier White colours at Rs 23,999.
