But there are moments when seeing something makes all the difference—following a recipe while you cook, figuring out where everyone needs to be by when, or comparing a few options before you buy. That’s why Echo Show has been our fastest-growing Echo product line, growing more than 25% year over year. And as Alexa becomes more capable, the screen becomes even more important.\n\nToday, we’re introducing the all-new [Echo Show 16](https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0G37245M5/ref=o_pr_echo_us_amznnews_show16)—our most powerful and versatile Echo Show yet.\n\n## All-new Echo Show 16\n\nThe Echo Show 16 features a stunning 16-inch display with 10% more viewing area than the Echo Show 15, and colors twice as vibrant—all in a sleek anodized aluminum frame that’s nearly 40% thinner. It packs an entirely new audio architecture into its slim design, with eight custom micro woofers and two tweeters that deliver powerful audio, so your video calls and TV shows sound crystal clear, even in a busy kitchen. With Advanced Room Adaptation, it continuously optimizes playback for its surroundings—whether mounted on the wall or sitting on the counter on one of two custom stand accessories.\n\n![Echo Show 16](https://assets.aboutamazon.com/dims4/default/7435c8c/2147483647/strip/true/crop/1600x900+0+0/resize/767x431!/quality/90/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fassets.aboutamazon.com%2F65%2Ff3%2F79b9644f442ab9c9ba764d85a6cc%2Fechoshow16-stand-inline-amazonnews-ck102526.png)\n\nEcho Show 16 is also available with a Nanomatte display option, featuring the same advanced anti-glare technology used in [Amazon Alexa Tablet 12 Pro](https://www.aboutamazon.com/news/devices/new-amazon-alexa-tablets-alexa-plus). The process etches a custom, precise, pixel-aligned texture into the glass that preserves detail and color accuracy. The result is more than 90% less glare and 50% less sparkle, with deep blacks, rich colors, and stunning clarity—even in direct sunlight or under bright kitchen lights—so you can enjoy content from any angle.\n\nEcho Show 16 also features our most advanced Echo Show camera yet, with an all-new wide-angle 13-megapixel camera and the widest field of view we've ever offered on an Echo Show. We've more than doubled the range of Visual ID, from eight to up to 17 feet, so Alexa can recognize you from across the room. And for the first time on an Echo Show, we've added night vision, making it easy to check in on your home day or night with Live View in the Alexa app. \n\n![Alexa Photo Frame](https://assets.aboutamazon.com/dims4/default/f6d14bc/2147483647/strip/true/crop/1350x900+125+0/resize/300x200!/quality/90/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fassets.aboutamazon.com%2Ff2%2Fec%2Fc82431e14b9e8b7a3eb665cedcd7%2Falexaphotoframe-inline-amazonnews-ck102526.png)\n\n- [Amazon introduces Alexa Photo Frame—the smartest way to bring your photos into the home](https://www.aboutamazon.com/news/devices/amazon-alexa-photo-frame)\n\n## Even more power and intelligence\n\nThe new Echo Show 16 has 20% more computing power, so interactions are fast and fluid. The enhanced Omnisense sensor fusion technology combines room temperature sensors and improved presence detection, so Alexa can turn up the thermostat when the room is too cold or turn on the lights when you enter the room. Advanced background noise cancellation and voice isolation help Alexa hear you clearly—even when the kitchen is buzzing with conversation and activity.\n\n## Fire TV built-in\n\nEcho Show 16 also comes with the full [Fire TV experience](https://www.aboutamazon.com/news/devices/new-fire-tv-upgrades-features-2026) built in—meaning your content from streaming services like Netflix, Disney+, YouTube, [Prime Video](https://www.aboutamazon.com/news/entertainment/what-you-need-to-know-about-prime-video), [HBO Max](https://www.aboutamazon.com/news/entertainment/hbo-max-on-prime-video-channels), [Peacock](https://www.aboutamazon.com/news/entertainment/peacock-shows-movies-prime-video-subscription), Tubi, and Pluto is all in one place. Recommendations and recently watched content all show up beautifully just like on your other Fire TV devices. Browse all your subscriptions in one place with the included remote, or skip browsing entirely and just ask Alexa+ for a recommendation based on your interests or preferences. You can also ask to pull up stats from the game you're watching, add something to your watchlist, or move what's playing to a different TV.\n\n## Make your smart display what you want\n\n![Echo Show 16 photo display and calendar display](https://assets.aboutamazon.com/dims4/default/ecca8b8/2147483647/strip/true/crop/2000x1125+0+0/resize/767x431!/quality/90/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fassets.aboutamazon.com%2F50%2Fa7%2Fa680a1354f3883b99aecb209382b%2Fechoshow16-hero-amazonnews-ck102526.gif)\n\nEcho Show 16 makes it easier than ever to tailor your device exactly to you. We’ve added a customizable favorites bar on the side of the home screen, so you can pin the capabilities or services you use most and get to them in an instant.\n\nThree new Screen Styles let you transform your Echo Show 16 home screen into whatever your home needs most—a full-time family organizer, smart home dashboard, or digital photo frame.\n\n- **Smart Home:** Turn your device into an always-on dashboard for your connected home, making it easier than ever to control the thousands of smart home devices that connect to Alexa. Adjust the lights, change the thermostat, move music between speakers, and access the new [Alexa Home Map](https://www.aboutamazon.com/news/devices/alexa-home-map-3d-smart-home-view), all at your fingertips. It’s fully customizable, so you can display the devices you use most and make it as simple or complex as you like.\n- **Family Organizer:** Transform Echo Show 16 into a central hub for your family. See a snapshot of your color-coded schedules, tasks, and meal plans together in one place. You can easily tap through different tabs to access a color-coded calendar with upcoming appointments and events for the whole house, an area to assign and track to-dos, a meal planning dashboard, or all the recipes in your Cooking Library.\n- **Photos**: Turn the home screen into a full-screen digital photo frame to keep your favorite memories front and center. Choose the photos you want to see—or let Alexa surface your best moments. Your photos look crisp, clear, and vibrant on the stunning display.\n\n![A view zooming in on the Alexa Home Map on and Echo Show 16](https://assets.aboutamazon.com/dims4/default/d223d0b/2147483647/strip/true/crop/1350x900+125+0/resize/300x200!/quality/90/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fassets.aboutamazon.com%2Fed%2F40%2Fd3fdf3dd440a80ad7fa98cf9be6d%2Fechoshow16-alexahomemap-inline-amazonnews-ck102626.gif)\n\n- [Meet Alexa Home Map, an interactive 3D map that lets you see and control your home](https://www.aboutamazon.com/news/devices/alexa-home-map-3d-smart-home-view)\n\n## Alexa helps you stay connected\n\nEcho Show has been helping families stay connected for years with billions of calls and drop-ins, and the Echo Show 16 makes the experience better than ever. Its 13-megapixel wide-lens camera pulls more of the room into frame for your video calls, so you catch the whole family at once, whether you're connecting with loved ones on Fire TV, another Echo Show, or your phone through the Alexa app. Auto-framing keeps everyone in view as they move, so when the kids wander in to say hi or you step back to stir a pot on the stove, no one gets cut out of the picture.\n\nCustomers love using Drop In to reach their Echo devices in an instant, whether talking to someone across the house or checking in on parents in another state. And with Announcements, a single message plays on every Echo device at once, so you can let the family know dinner's ready or that you're heading to the store without shouting up the stairs.\n\n## The latest version of Alexa+ with a new look and feel\n\nLike every device in our new lineup, Echo Show 16 comes with the latest version of Alexa+. Alexa can now hold more natural conversations, reason more deeply, ask clarifying questions, and coordinate across more sources at once to handle complex, multi-step requests. Alexa is fast when she needs to be and knows exactly how to adapt to the task at hand.\n\nConversations unfold on Echo Show 16 through an entirely new design language built to support Alexa’s growing intelligence and skillset. Now when you’re interacting with Alexa, rather than a transcript of what's being said, Alexa composes rich, interactive content in real time. As you’re talking, Alexa reasons across multiple sources and provides relevant visuals, videos, calendar events, and actions Alexa can take. This means if you ask for help shopping for a new rain jacket, Alexa might create a chart comparing your options, a list of things to consider when buying a rain jacket, and links to check them out in detail.\n\nYour conversations are visually organized into Cards, making it easy to revisit the projects and topics you’ve explored with Alexa. If you’re planning a day trip over the weekend, Alexa will proactively create a Card that keeps the relevant links, reservations, and details in one place. You can view all of your Cards in the Card Gallery, where they’re organized by topic, or pin your favorites for easy access. Cards are available on the Alexa app and Alexa.com, too, so you can pick up right where you left off.\n\n![Echo Time Features](https://assets.aboutamazon.com/dims4/default/3d03d57/2147483647/strip/true/crop/1688x1125+160+0/resize/300x200!/quality/90/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fassets.aboutamazon.com%2F0b%2F2d%2F0ee2dcc243c7a1b64666b54bb22c%2Fechotime-hero-amazonnews-ck102526.gif)\n\n- [Amazon introduces Echo Time, a smarter way to start and end your day](https://www.aboutamazon.com/news/devices/echo-time-smart-alarm-clock)\n\n## Built with privacy in mind\n\nLike all of our products, Echo Show 16 is designed to protect your privacy and give you transparency and control over your experience. The device includes easy-to-use controls like a button to disable the microphones and camera and a clear visual indicator so that customers know when Alexa is engaged. Customers can easily manage and review their interactions through the Alexa Privacy dashboard.\n\n## Pricing and availability: Echo Show 16\n\n[Echo Show 16 is available for preorder](https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0G37245M5/ref=o_pr_echo_us_amznnews_show16) starting today and will begin shipping later this year.
