Echo Dot: The most capable yet

The next-generation Echo Dot is designed for everywhere you can imagine and packs even more into its compact form factor. For the first time, it includes a built-in smart home hub, so Alexa connects to thousands of compatible devices such as lights, locks, and thermostats right out of the box—plus a built-in eero Wi-Fi extender adds up to 1,000 square feet of coverage to your existing network. At its 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 today 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. Learn more about the new Echo Dot and Amazon Kids Echo Dot.

Echo Studio with Home Camera: New visual intelligence on our most premium speaker

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. What's new is context: with more awareness of its surroundings, Alexa can help in real time—explaining the rules on a board game box you hold up, recognizing 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 today for $249.99. Learn more about the all-new Echo Studio with Home Camera.

Echo Time: the customizable smart clock, purpose-built for the nightstand

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 even your favorite sports teams. 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. It's wellness you can trust, too: Echo Time has earned the National Sleep Foundation's SleepMark™ for meeting evidence-based sleep standards. Available today for $199.99; Amazon Kids Echo Time starts at $209.99 with a year of Kids+ included. Learn more about Echo Time and Amazon Kids Echo Time.

Alexa Photo Frame: the smartest way to bring your photos into the home

Most of the photos we love never leave our phones. The Alexa Photo Frame changes that—pairing 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—the ones where you're smiling, in the right season—and skips the screenshots and clutter. Just ask to see photos of a favorite 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.

All-new Echo Show 16: Amazon’s most powerful, versatile Echo Show yet

Echo Show is our fastest-growing Echo product line, growing more than 25% year over year—and the all-new Echo Show 16 is our 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 color razor-sharp. Screen Styles transform it into whatever your home needs most—a family organizer with color-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 our 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 preorder today starting at $499.99 ($569.99 for Nanomatte); preorder now and get $100 off. Learn more about the all-new Echo Show 16.

All powered by the latest version of Alexa

Alexa is always evolving, and every device in this lineup comes with the latest version. Now, Alexa holds more natural conversations, reasons more deeply, asks clarifying questions, and coordinates across more sources at once to handle complex, multi-step requests. On a speaker, that shows up in the depth of what Alexa can reason through and get done. On a screened device like Echo Show 16, your conversations unfold on the screen, with Alexa generating helpful visual content in the moment. And Alexa visually organizes your conversations into Cards, so you can pick up where you left off across any surface—Echo devices, Alexa app, or Alexa.com.

Certain features require Alexa+, which is included with a Prime membership.
