100% der Kundenmeinungen auf Amazon.de bewerten dieses Produkt positiv.

Camera keeps user in frame on video calls ; Vibrant adaptive display ; Superb room-filling sound

Recycles same design as before

“The Amazon Echo Show 8 (2021) gives you the freedom to move around on video calls thanks to a new pan-and-zoom camera.”

Loud, full sound Wide range of features Improved camera

Few video streaming options Software is still voice-first Some video calling bugs

The new Echo Show 8 doesn’t redefine what a smart display can be, but it’s still a very good virtual assistant with a screen for an attractive price.

New 13MP camera for video calls Cheaper than the Echo Show 10 Easy to group speakers together Fun photo booth mode

Audio quality can still be improved Only a 1280 x 800 resolution No built-in Zigbee hub No aux-out port

The Amazon Echo Show 8 (2021) offers a superior camera for enhanced video calls and a faster processor, but not the best audio quality or screen resolution. Add to that the removal of the aux-out jack and lack of a Zigbee hub and you’ve got the recipe...

Alexa is always improving ; 13MP camera with privacy shutter ; Good sized screen

No 3.5mm audio port ; Not that different from the 1st generation ; Only comes in black or white

Compact with an 8inch screen, the Amazon Echo Show 8 (2nd Gen, 2021) is one of the best smart displays for most people. Its camera, speakers and smart features are all impressive - it’s hard not to recommend!

Bright, colorful screen Powerful audio for the size Higher-resolution camera than previous model Digital pan and zoom

Very few changes aside from camera

Amazon's second-generation Echo Show 8 smart display offers just the right balance of price, performance, and size, with an updated camera for an even better video chat and home security experience.

Much-improved camera ; Pan and zoom works well ; Decent sound

No native YouTube support ; Some Skills still not great with display

The best bang-for-buck Echo device with a screen now comes with a much-improved new camera, adding to the already excellent sound. It's an ideal Alexa option for a kitchen or family room. But there's still no native YouTube, which we find perplexing.

Camera auto-tracking is smooth and effective ; Stereo speakers have punch to fill a room ; Alexa keeps getting more abilities ; Easily-controlled privacy

Auto-framing does have limits ; A dedicated speaker sounds better for the price ; Limited services that the clever camera works with

Much-improved webcam ; Big sound for its size ; Supports a range of third-party apps and services

YouTube only supported through browser ; No Disney+ or Now support ; Not much reason to upgrade if you have the original

Small speaker, big sound, better camera – the Show goes on

Excellent camera ; Great sound ; Pan & zoom tracking

Few updates ; No 3.5mm jack

The new Echo Show 8 might be little changed from the original, but the upgraded camera, with automatic tracking and remote view, is a serious improvement. It's a great smart display.

Excellent camera ; Improved video call support ; Decent sound quality

Not a huge change from previous generation ; No 3.5mm jack ; Alexa isn’t as smart as Google Assistant

At the same £120 price as the previous generation, it’s hard to fault the latest Echo Show 8; it’s a marvellous product with a sensible set of improvements. But unless you make a lot of video calls, it’s probably not worth upgrading from the previous...
