Starting at $85, the Amazon Echo Show lineup for 2021 brings new features to great products and asks the question of how Google compares.
Google and Amazon are the two biggest players when it comes to smart speakers and displays, and today, Amazon has refreshed its popular Echo Show lineup for 2021. It’s got us thinking — is Google falling behind? The 2021 refresh of the Amazon Echo Show lineup is a relatively minor one. It upgrades the Echo Show 8 with a 13MP camera, the same one that’s present in the clever Echo Show 10 that has a swiveling display. The new camera on Show 8 also adopts a wider-angle lens, which can be used through software to zoom in on the subject of a video call, much like what the Nest Hub Max has done for a couple of years in Google Duo.
