Amazon Unveils Its Largest Echo Show to Date

Amazon, on Wednesday, unveiled the Echo Show 21, and it is its largest Echo Show ever. The smart display comes with double the viewing area of the existing Echo Show 15, which is also getting an upgrade.

The two new devices have better audio quality than the original Echo Show 15 because these include double the bass and room adaption technology, which means that the smart display will adjust its audio output based on the acoustics of the room it's in.

They also come with camera upgrades, as the devices have more than double the field of view, along with 65% more zoom, than the first-generation Echo Show 15. That means you'll stay in frame during video calls even when you walk around your kitchen. And they include noise reduction technology to make audio during video calls clearer.

Both of the Echo Show 15 and Echo Show 21 include a built-in smart home hub, making them Matter-compatible and able to connect directly with Wi-Fi, Thread, and Zigbee devices. And they can also control lights, switches, and plugs. Amazon also points out that these are the first Echo devices to work natively with Wi-Fi 6E, which should ensure more seamless streaming experiences.

Furthermore, Amazon revealed that users will be able to add more informational widgets to their Echo Show's home screen, including sports scores, breaking news headlines, and stock prices.
The new Echo Show 21 comes at $399.99 and the updated Echo Show 15 comes at $299.99. They are available for sale with an Alexa Voice Remote and wall mounting equipment.
