It features a 13-megapixel camera with improved zoom, and can adapt on-screen content based on who\u2019s using it. It also features wider viewing angles and new front-facing stereo speakers, allowing for superior sound. Combined, these upgrades make it better for displaying photos, listening to music, checking your calendar, streaming video, and making calls with loved ones.<\/p>\n<p class=\"has-text-align-none\">It\u2019s an even better smart home controller, too. The latest Show 8 still supports Zigbee, Matter, and Thread protocols, so you can use it to control an array of smart home devices without the need for a separate hub. It also features support for Alexa Plus, a faster AZ3 Pro processor, and Amazon\u2019s new Omnisense sensor system. Together, these upgrades \u2014 along with more responsive voice recognition \u2014 help it handle more complex, context-aware tasks and better track routines.<\/p>\n<p class=\"has-text-align-none\">In <a href=\"https:\/\/www.theverge.com\/report\/787171\/amazon-alexa-plus-hardware-event-smart-home\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">our initial testing<\/a>, Alexa Plus hasn\u2019t always been reliable, and some existing smart home routines don\u2019t behave as consistently as before. When the voice assistant works as intended, though, it can be genuinely useful. For example, if someone in your family usually feeds the dog every morning but forgets one day, Amazon\u2019s upgraded assistant can send a reminder when they walk into the room.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p class=\"has-text-align-none\">Just keep in mind that non-Prime customers will need to pay $19.99 a month for Alexa Plus. If your giftee\u2019s already a Prime member, though, Alexa Plus is included, making it easy to recommend.<\/p>\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading has-text-align-none\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.theverge.com\/tech\/818814\/amazon-echo-show-11-8-alexa-plus-hands-on\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Read our hands-on impressions<\/a>.<\/h5>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>If you\u2019re looking for a versatile gift for Valentine\u2019s Day that can be sentimental and practical, Amazon\u2019s fourth-generation Echo Show [&hellip;]<\/p>","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"site-sidebar-layout":"default","site-content-layout":"","ast-site-content-layout":"","site-content-style":"default","site-sidebar-style":"default","ast-global-header-display":"","ast-banner-title-visibility":"","ast-main-header-display":"","ast-hfb-above-header-display":"","ast-hfb-below-header-display":"","ast-hfb-mobile-header-display":"","site-post-title":"","ast-breadcrumbs-content":"","ast-featured-img":"","footer-sml-layout":"","theme-transparent-header-meta":"","adv-header-id-meta":"","stick-header-meta":"","header-above-stick-meta":"","header-main-stick-meta":"","header-below-stick-meta":"","astra-migrate-meta-layouts":"default","ast-page-background-enabled":"default","ast-page-background-meta":{"desktop":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-5)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"tablet":{"background-color":"","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"mobile":{"background-color":"","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""}},"ast-content-background-meta":{"desktop":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-4)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"tablet":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-4)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"mobile":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-4)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""}},"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-2251","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-non-classe"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.actutech.app\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2251","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.actutech.app\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.actutech.app\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.actutech.app\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.actutech.app\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=2251"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.actutech.app\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2251\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.actutech.app\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2251"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.actutech.app\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=2251"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.actutech.app\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=2251"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
