Amazon’s Echo Show 8 will turn you into a masterchef

Another day, another Echo smart display. It wasn’t long ago that we reviewed the bedside table-friendly Echo Show 5, but already that has a new big brother in the shape of the Echo Show 8. With an 8in HD display, you might actually want to binge Undone on it through Prime video, while those who put theirs in the kitchen can take their Spag Bol to the next level thanks to integration with BBC Good Food and WikiHow. There’s a camera on board, but happily the Show 8 borrows the 5’s slider cover, so if you don’t want a beady eye looking at you as you dance around the kitchen in your apron, you can hide it away. Pre-orders for the £120 device are now open.

Pre-order yours right now.

About

I'm fascinated by all things tech, but if you were going to leave me on a desert island, I'd probably ask for my Nintendo Switch, a drone, and a pair of noise-cancelling cans to block out the relentless seagull racket. When I'm not on Stuff duty you'll probably find me subscribing to too many podcasts, playing too many video games, or telling anyone who will listen that Spurs are going to win a trophy this season.
