5 out of 5 stars
Love it!
I am obsessed with Alexa! I have 5 in my 2br home. Including an older Show. This one is SO MUCH BETTER! Mainly because of the size. I can finally see what's on the screen from across from my room on the bed! I can see the time, who's at the door etc. It's life-changing lol! I put the old smaller one in my bathroom which works great. But this is the perfect size for larger rooms. If you have an older model, definitely upgrade! You won't regret it.

I literally u this more than a dozen times a day.
It has some new home networking features, such as Matter, over previous models. I don't really use the new features because I only have a half dozen automation devices but it will grow with me. (or more likely because of the great trade in privileges, I will just keep upgrading whether I need to or not. I try to be frugal on most devices like tv, laptops and desktop , but amazon trade ins when stacked with discounts make so I wind up trading things inn all the time.
The screen is the perfect size for me, doesn't take up too much room on the desk or nightstand, but big enough to see clearly. I experimented with the 10 inch size during one of the generation changes, but it wasn't good for my life style and home furnishings so I am back at the size I prefer.
Sound it a little better, more 3D like, but this is no comparison to a soundbar (but it CAN be linked to a soundbar or bluetooth speaker). The alexa voice is a BIG differnce, more lifelike. When I got the new echo show, I compared it to the old echo show. I thought that alexa resided in the cloud and the voices would be exactly the same, but the new voice is more lifelike and actually has natural language cadence. It's the same camera. I don't care one bit if it is off to the right like the previous generation, or it is in the center like it is now.

I bought this product to replace an echo show that I’ve had for nearly 7 years. The old units display with occasionally flicker and I knew it was time for a new one. I am thoroughly pleased with the echo show 8. First off, the increased display size is a welcome change to my aging eyes. It is easier to see and the touchscreen easier to use. I used the option to link the device to my Amazon account, which made set up a breeze when the unit arrived. The sound quality is improved over previous versions. I also ordered the stand that comes with the USB-C port, which is extremely convenient. I am thoroughly pleased with the echo show 8. If there is a drawback, it is that I see more advertisements then I would like. I have the photo display option selected in my settings, and I do not see my photos near as often as I did on my old device. Other than that, I am extremely pleased with the performance of this product. I recommend it.

Ya tenia la segunda generación, esta que es la tercera Gen., mejora el sonido y la percibo mas rapida que la anterior, en lo demas es igual, bastante buen dispositivo este Echo Show 8.

En las fotos se puede observar que puedes acceder a Youtube y a netflix con el comando de Alexa “pon Youtube” al igual que netflix.

Como ounto negativo, diria que la pantalla no es amoled, creo XD. Pero estabdo en mi cuarto en la noche con todo apagado, no molesta su brillo de pantalla, su brillo automático funciona bastante bien!!

Se configura muy fácil y rápido, de preferencia si se tiene cuenta Prime.
El audio espacial suena muy bien.

Bien a secas. Es un dispositivo Alexa que hace lo que ya sabes que hace. Si tienes un ecosistema Alexa para sacarle jugo está bien. En casa tengo 3 Alexas ahora y mi único problema es que, si quieres que las 3 puedan oír música diferente, debes pagar el plan familiar de Amazon Misic Unlimited, de lo contrario no podrás con ningún otro servicio (terminé pagando Amazon Music más mi Spotify). La bocina, si la ubicas en un buen lugar suena bien, a secas. Tengo un Apple HomePod mini y suena mejor la verdad…
