Features

Built-in Zigbee and Thread Smart Home Hub: Native Zigbee and Thread support lets the Echo Show 8 discover and control compatible smart lights, locks, sensors, and thermostats without needing an additional bridge. Manage scenes or devices directly from the screen or use voice commands to automate routines across a smart home ecosystem.

8″ HD Touchscreen for Everyday Interaction: The crisp 8″ HD touchscreen delivers sharp text and bright visuals for video calls, recipes, and streaming. The responsive display is large enough to view detailed content but small enough to sit comfortably on counters, desks, or nightstands. Touch controls work alongside voice commands for natural interaction.

13 MP Camera with Noise Reduction Technology: A 13 MP wide-angle camera provides clearer, more flattering video calls and smart framing. Noise reduction improves visual clarity in mixed-light conditions, and the camera integrates with Alexa calling and Zoom-style meetings for more engaging, lifelike conversations.

Magnetic Adjustable Stand with USB-C Charging Port: The included magnetic stand tilts securely to improve viewing angles for video calls and recipes, and it incorporates a USB‑C charging port for convenient power routing. The stand’s use of 44% recycled materials gives the package an eco-conscious edge.

Spatial Audio and Entertainment Access: Built-in spatial audio expands the soundstage for music, podcasts, and shows—making the Echo Show 8 far more than a simple notification screen. It supports Prime Video, Netflix, Fire TV Channels and works smoothly as a companion display for Fire TV content, delivering an immersive small-room entertainment experience.

Built for Privacy: Amazon emphasizes privacy by including a mic-off button and an LED status indicator. The refurbished unit is tested and certified to function like new, and comes with the same limited warranty, giving extra assurance that the device has been verified and cleared before sale.

Car Charger Included & Simple Power Setup: This Like-New Echo Auto ships with a fast car charger designed to keep your phone topped up while Echo Auto uses the phone’s data to connect Alexa services. The compact power solution integrates cleanly into a vehicle’s 12V power outlet so the unit is ready to go with minimal fuss.

Seamless Music & Media Streaming: Ask Alexa to play your favorite playlists and stations from Amazon Music, Apple Music, Spotify, and other supported services.

Call, Message, and Drop In Hands-Free: Make and receive calls or send messages using only your voice through the Alexa app connection.

Hands-Free Alexa Access: The Echo Auto provides true hands-free access to Alexa using a 5-microphone array that filters out road and cabin noise. Say the wake word from across the car to play music, get navigation help, check the weather, set reminders, or control smart-home devices without touching your phone. Physical mic-off and an LED indicator put privacy control and clear status feedback at your fingertips.

Multi-Room Music & Wireless Streaming: Pair multiple Echo speakers across rooms for synchronized playback, or stream from popular services like Amazon Music, Spotify, and TuneIn. Bluetooth streaming means you can also send audio from phones and laptops, making the Dot a flexible single-room speaker or part of a house-wide audio system.

Improved Audio Performance: Amazon calls this its best-sounding Echo Dot yet, and the difference is tangible. The speaker delivers clearer midrange for vocals and a deeper, more confident bass than prior Dots. For everyday listening — podcasts, pop, ambient playlists, or spoken-word content — the tuning creates a fuller, richer soundstage without needing a separate speaker setup.

Built-In Motion & Temperature Sensors: The Echo Dot adds built-in motion and indoor temperature sensing to trigger routines without needing additional sensors. For example, it can turn lights on when you enter a room or start a fan if the temperature rises above your preset comfort level. This turns the Dot into a mini smart hub that acts automatically when you do.

Privacy Controls & Local Data Protection: Amazon emphasizes privacy with multiple protection layers, including a dedicated mic-off button that electronically disconnects microphones. Built-in privacy controls let you review and delete voice recordings, and Amazon’s policies aim to limit data sharing — helpful for users who want voice convenience without sacrificing control over personal information.
