The update adds support for Amazon Fire TV and spatial audio processing for improved audio.
What looks like and acts like a TV is now an actual TV. By way of a new software update, the Echo Show 15 now supports Amazon Fire TV, allowing you to watch your favorite shows from various streaming services.
Platforms like YouTube, Disney Plus, and Paramount Plus have a new home on the Show 15’s interface. If you don’t mind smudging the 15.6-inch Full HD display, you can use the newly developed virtual remote to navigate the menus. This is especially helpful since not all of the video apps are touch-enabled. However, if you plan on using or you already have the display in your kitchen (Amazon already knows you do (opens in new tab)), it does work with the third-generation Alexa Voice Remote so you can keep it smudge-free. Or you can use the Fire TV app; it’s all same.
In addition to the Fire TV support, the Echo Show 15’s audio is getting an update, adopting from Echo Studio the company’s “custom-built spatial audio processing technology.
