Weighing up whether to buy the new Echo Show 5 or the Echo Show 8? We compare the early specs
Now that Amazon has launched all-new versions of its smart displays (the new Echo Show 8 and Echo Show 5), we’ve been able to peruse the specs and see the key differences that exist between the two. These models replace the Echo Show 8 and Echo Show 5 released a few years ago, and come with a number of key upgrades too. Now that Amazon has made new versions of its smallest smart displays; the Echo Show 5 and the Echo Show 8 available to pre-order, we’ve got all the details you need to help you decide which one to go for while we wait for our full reviews to appear. If you’ve can’t wait for the new Echo Show smart displays to ship, check out the best prices right now for Amazon’s current Echo Show smart displays below: The new Amazon Echo Show 5 is Amazon’s most affordable smart display, costing $84.99 / £74.99 / AU$119 — this is actually $5 / £5 / AU$30 more than the price of the current Echo Show 5 when it launched in June 2019. The Amazon Echo Show 8 is priced at $129.99 / £119.99 / AU$199.00, which is the same price as the current iteration of the Echo Show 8 when it first went on sale in September 2019. Amazon is known for discounting its own devices throughout the year, especially during Amazon Prime Day and Black Friday, so we hope to see some discounts of these new smart displays later in the year.
