Amazon makes some of the best smart home devices around, and you can now upgrade to the newest models without shelling out big bucks.
The retailer is offering up to $50 off its top-rated Echo devices today. One of our favorite drops from the sale is this 15% discount on the latest Echo Show 15, which brings its price down to $255. Your purchase will come with free access to Amazon’s smartest AI assistant yet; the Alexa+. If you have an older Echo device lying around, you can also trade it in to score another 20% off your purchase.
Just remember that the retailer has marked this offer as a limited-time one. It’s best to grab it before the discount expires or the stock runs out.
Multiple Use Cases
For $255, you’re getting a stunning 15.6-inch Full-HD (1080p) smart display. This thing delivers powerful, vibrant sound, and also includes a centered, auto-framing camera with a wide field of vision for quick video calls. You can put it up in the kitchen to view recipes as you try new things, in your lounge to watch your favorite shows with Fire TV, or even as a digital photo frame in the hallway; the possibilities are endless.
The built-in family organization hub puts all your top widgets, such as calendars, to-do lists, local weather, smart home, popular apps, and more in a single place for quick access. Fire TV integration unlocks thousands of apps like Prime Video, Netflix, YouTube, and Apple TV, making it easy to stream your favorite shows as you tackle house chores. What’s more, it now supports multiple device pairing with Active Media. With this, you can add compatible devices to the system and connect them all for bigger sound across your home. For instance, if you’re listening to a song in the kitchen, you can add speakers in the living room and bedroom on the fly to fill the house with your favorite tunes and great vibes.
Echo Show 15 serves as a smart home hub just as well. It makes it incredibly easy to control smart devices with your voice or a few taps using the dashboard on the screen. Use it to turn on your smart lights, adjust the temperature, or check live camera feed – all without relying on another device. Amazon also takes privacy seriously with this one, as the Echo Show 15 includes multiple layers of privacy controls. These include a mic/camera-off button, plus a built-in shutter to cover the camera for extra peace of mind.
As we mentioned above, this version comes with free access to Alexa+, which is Amazon’s next-generation, smartest AI assistant yet. Compared to the standard, OG Alexa, this one can understand context better and offers a more natural conversation style. You can also use it to perform complex functions like booking services and making reservations easily. After the trial ends, Prime members can continue using Alexa+ at no extra cost, while non-Prime members will need to pay $20 per month to keep access. Note that the standard Alexa version is also included, so you can always switch back to it if you don’t want to pay the monthly fee.
