if you’re unsure about a smart display for your home, but still want to nab some deals ahead of the weekend, you can check out our rolling early Black Friday deals for some great savings. If you’re into the idea of this multi-purpose smart display, read on for our verdict. In awarding the Echo Show 8 (2nd Gen) a perfect score, our home technology editor David Ludlow praised the great value for money (even better now), powerful audio, and intelligent camera which can be obscured by a manual lens cover when not in use. The functionality available on the Echo Show is something to behold. You can make hands-free video and voice calls to friends and family, control your smart home devices via Alexa, listen to music through the excellent speaker and even watch videos from apps like Prime Video, Netflix and more – thanks to the presence of the Fire TV operating system. It also acts as a dashboard for your day, thanks to the Home Screen intelligently showing pertinent information like the weather, traffic and more.
