Latest generation of Alexa devices
The newest lineup of Alexa devices includes five new products: Echo Dot, Echo Studio with Home Camera, Echo Time, Alexa Photo Frame and Echo Show 16.
Echo Dot
The next-generation Echo Dot includes a built-in smart home hub, so Alexa is connected to thousands of compatible devices such as lights, locks, and thermostats right out of the box- plus a built-in eero WiFi extender adds up to 1000 sq.ft of coverage to your existing network.
At the core is Amazon’s custom AZ3 silicon, with a new AI Accelerator for on-device AI that sharpens conversational detection and filters out background noise. Music, audiobooks, and podcasts sound great on the new Echo Dot, with crisp vocals and 50% more bass than its predecessor.
The new Echo Dot ships for $99.99. The Echo Dot also comes in two new fun options for Kids that come with a year of Amazon Kids+ for $109.99.
Echo Studio with Home Camera
Echo Studio with Home Camera takes Amazon’s best-sounding speaker and gives it a richer understanding of the room around it, making Alexa even more useful. The same powerful audio architecture is still at its core—a high-excursion woofer and Dolby Atmos filling the room with immersive spatial sound, now continuously tuned to your space with Advanced Room Adaptation.
With more awareness of its surroundings, Alexa can help in real time—explaining the rules on a board game box you hold up, recognising a box of cereal to help you reorder it, or letting you check in on the room from the Alexa app while you’re away. Soon, you’ll also be able to pair Echo Studio with Home Camera with compatible Fire TVs to enable video calling on the biggest screen in your home.
Echo Studio is available for $219.99, and the new Echo Studio with Home Camera ships for $249.99.
Echo Time
Echo Time is purpose-built for the bedside—with a customizable display and camera-free design to make waking up and winding down effortless. Make it yours with hundreds of clock faces to choose from—including everything from analog and modern to playful designs and weather themes. Its new sleep sensing technology, powered by Omnisense, can sense when you’re in lighter sleep and wake you within 10 to 60 minutes of your scheduled alarm, no wearable device required.
As your alarm approaches, the display gradually brightens to mimic a natural sunrise and the tone builds gently to help ease you awake. Echo Time has earned the National Sleep Foundation’s SleepMark™ for meeting evidence-based sleep standards.
Echo Time is available for $199.99; Amazon Kids Echo Time starts at $209.99 with a year of Kids+ included.
Alexa Photo Frame
The Alexa Photo Frame pairs the timeless elegance of a traditional frame with the intelligence of Alexa, so your best memories are always on display. It’s the first photo frame with Alexa built in, and it works effortlessly: connect it to Amazon Photos and your pictures sync automatically, with new ones appearing as they’re taken.
Alexa intelligently surfaces the shots worth seeing and skips the screenshots and clutter. Just ask to see photos of a favourite person, pet, or trip, or swipe through right on the 10-inch anti-glare touchscreen, where every picture looks crisp and vibrant from any angle.
The Alexa Photo Frame is available starting at $199.99 in Black and $229.00 in real Birch or Walnut wood frames.
Echo Show 16
The all-new Echo Show 16 is Amazon’s most advanced display yet, with 20% more power for interactions that feel fast. The 16-inch high-definition screen is nearly 40% thinner with 10% more viewing area, and a new Nanomatte option cuts glare by more than 90% while keeping detail and colour razor-sharp.
Screen Styles transform it into whatever your home needs most—a family organiser with colour-coded calendars, chores, and meal plans; a digital photo frame; or a smart home dashboard with the new Alexa Home Map, showing every light, lock, thermostat, and camera right where it lives in your home.
Plus, it has the full Fire TV experience, built in. Echo Show 16 has Amazon’s best-ever camera on an Echo Show, featuring the widest field of view, auto-framing that keeps everyone in view, and—for the first time—night vision, so you can check in with Live View day or night.
It’s available for pre-order starting at $499.99 ($569.99 for Nanomatte); preorder now and get $100 off.
