Amazon has unveiled its latest Echo devices: the Echo Dot Max, Echo Studio, Echo Show 8, and Echo Show 11. The Echo Dot Max features a new custom-designed chip called the AZ3, while the other three devices have the more advanced AZ3 Pro. All four devices are available for pre-order, and owners will get Alexa Plus early access out of the box.

As the name suggests, it includes an 8-inch display and 720p resolution. It’s an LCD display, but apparently an improved one, with wider viewing angles and higher contrast than older Show hardware. There has not been an Echo Show 11 before,

Having announced the upgraded Alexa+ AI assistant earlier this year, Amazon has now revealed four shiny new Echo speakers to take advantage of it: the Echo Dot Max, the Echo Show (in 8-inch and 11-inch sizes), and the Echo Studio.

Alexa has evolved far beyond its origins as a simple voice assistant for setting reminders and playing music. After 11 years, it finally got a significant upgrade with the introduction of Alexa Plus. This new iteration is powered by advanced AI, making the assistant smarter, more conversational, and, for the first time, proactive.

Amazon Alexa is already a great smart assistant, but there are ways to get more out of it that you may not have considered.
