Amazon has expanded its smart home ecosystem in India with the launch of two new Alexa-powered devices — the Echo Show 11 and the Echo Show 8. The new smart displays aim to deliver an improved hands-free experience, blending voice assistance, entertainment, and smart home control into compact, modern designs tailored for Indian households.
Echo Show 11 Brings Larger Display and Premium Experience
The newly introduced Echo Show 11 features a large 11-inch HD touchscreen designed for immersive video streaming, video calls, and smart home monitoring. With slimmer bezels and enhanced display clarity, the device is positioned as a central hub for kitchens, living rooms, and workspaces. Alexa integration allows users to manage daily tasks, check weather updates, follow recipes, and control compatible smart devices using voice commands.
Echo Show 8 Offers Compact Power With Smart Enhancements
Alongside the larger model, Amazon also launched the Echo Show 8, which features an 8-inch HD display aimed at users seeking a more compact smart display. Despite its smaller size, the Echo Show 8 delivers strong audio performance, smooth video calling, and seamless access to Alexa’s growing skill ecosystem. It is ideal for bedrooms, desks, and smaller living spaces.
Improved Audio, Video Calling, and Smart Home Controls
Both smart displays come equipped with upgraded speakers for clearer sound output and enhanced microphones for better voice recognition. The devices support high-quality video calls, making them suitable for staying connected with family and friends. Built-in smart home dashboards allow users to control lights, plugs, cameras, and other compatible devices directly from the screen.
Focus on Privacy and Localised Alexa Features
Amazon continues to emphasize user privacy with physical microphone and camera controls included on both Echo Show models. Alexa on the Echo Show 11 and Echo Show 8 supports localized features for India, including access to regional content, smart home integrations, and popular Indian apps and services.
Availability and Market Positioning
The Echo Show 11 and Echo Show 8 are now available for purchase in India through Amazon’s official platform and select retail channels. With these launches, Amazon aims to strengthen its presence in the growing smart home market, offering users more choices across different screen sizes and price segments.
