Amazon today announced a significant expansion of its Echo Show lineup with the introduction of Echo Show 21, its largest smart display yet. The company also unveiled a refreshed Echo Show 15 with enhanced features and capabilities.
Responding to customer feedback, Amazon focused on improving audio quality and expanding screen real estate for an even more immersive and informative experience. Both the Echo Show 15 for $299.99 and Echo Show 21 for $399.99 now boast improved sound with deeper bass and room adaptation technology, along with upgraded auto-framing cameras for clearer video calls.
