The Echo Show 8 is perfect for everything from streaming online content to making and taking video calls

This 8-inch sized smart speaker was released back in 2019 and is now one of Amazon’s most popular smart devices.

Unlike the standard Echos and Echo Dots, these Alexa-powered devices come with a touchscreen.

We’re earmarking the Echo Show as a great gift for any older relatives out there who might appreciate a simple means of video-calling on a screen larger than a mobile phone.

But the Echo Show is a surprisingly versatile gizmo that can also stream from YouTube and Netflix and, like all of Amazon’s devices, can be connected to other smart devices around your home.

For instance, the Show can play the video feed from your Ring Doorbell, and the in-built Alexa will respond to all the usual commands, whether that’s announcing the news, making lists or setting alarms.

If you’re interested in buying a Show but you’re spending on a tighter budget, take a look at the discount on the smaller Echo Show 5.

The 2nd-generation Show 5 has been reduced from £74.99 to £34.99 in an impressive 53% price drop.

If you’re not so fussed about the visuals, it’s well worth looking at the discounts on the 3rd-generation Echo Dot (£16.99, was £39.99) and all-new 5th-generation Echo Dot (£39.99, was £64.99) too.

At these super-low prices, they’re great stocking-fillers for anyone who would appreciate some smart tech this Christmas.
