Amazon has unveiled a range of new products that outshine its older devices, signaling a good time for Echo, Fire TV Stick, and Kindle owners to consider an upgrade. The announcement was made during a presentation in New York, with all the new products set to be available on Amazon’s store soon.
Among the latest offerings are four new Echo speakers, including the Echo Dot Max and an updated Echo Studio. These speakers not only sport a new design but also boast enhanced intelligence through Alexa updates, delivering superior sound quality. Amazon claims that owners of the Echo Dot Max can expect almost three times more bass compared to the previous Echo Dot (5th gen).
Furthermore, the Echo Studio has been reduced in size by 40% from its original version, yet Amazon asserts that it provides top-notch sound performance for a smart speaker of its size.
For those interested in devices with screens, Amazon is introducing two new Echo Show speakers – the Show 8 and Show 11. These come with upgraded displays incorporating in-cell touch and negative liquid crystal design for an improved viewing experience. Additionally, they feature adaptive ambient visuals and an all-new audio setup for a more impressive sound output, including front-facing stereo speakers and a custom woofer for immersive spatial audio.
In addition to the Echo lineup, Amazon is releasing a new Kindle named the Scribe Colorsoft. This device is similar to the current Scribe range but offers an 11-inch color display, making it ideal for reading comics and catering to aspiring artists. It boasts an ultra-thin and lightweight design, textured-molded glass screen for a paper-like writing experience with the pen, a backlight for nighttime use, a faster processor for improved performance, and weeks of battery life despite the colored screen.
Another notable update is the introduction of the new Fire TV Stick, the 4K Select, which provides enhanced 4K visuals at a more affordable price compared to its Ultra HD counterparts. Amazon’s event also featured new Fire TV screens and an update to the Ring Doorbell, now offering 4K recordings.
All these new devices are scheduled for launch in the near future.
