Amazon recently unveiled a range of new products that outshine its older devices, prompting owners of Echo, Fire TV Stick, or Kindle to consider an upgrade. The announcement was made at an event in New York, with the new products set to be available on Amazon’s store soon.
Among the highlights are four new Echo speakers, including the Echo Dot Max and a refreshed Echo Studio, boasting improved design, enhanced Alexa capabilities, and superior sound quality. The Echo Dot Max, in particular, promises nearly three times the bass compared to the Echo Dot (5th gen). Additionally, the Echo Studio is now 40% smaller but offers top-notch sound quality for its size.
For those preferring devices with screens, Amazon introduced two new Echo Show speakers – the Show 8 and Show 11. These devices feature upgraded displays for a better viewing experience, adaptive ambient visuals, and a new audio architecture with front-facing stereo speakers and custom woofer for immersive spatial audio.
In addition to the Echo lineup, Amazon unveiled the new Kindle Scribe Colorsoft. Similar to the existing Scribe range, it comes with a pen for screen scribbling but now sports an 11-inch color display, making it ideal for reading comics and for artistic endeavors. The device boasts an ultra-thin design, texture-molded glass screen, backlight for night use, faster processor for improved performance, and extended battery life despite the color display.
Amazon also introduced the Fire TV Stick 4K Select, offering enhanced 4K visuals at a more affordable price point compared to its Ultra HD counterparts. Other updates from the event include new Fire TV screens and an upgraded Ring Doorbell with 4K recording capabilities.
All these new devices are set to launch in the near future.
