"While Amazon's previous lineup of Echo speakers and smart displays was boring, frankly, its late 2025 hardware refresh brought better hardware, improved performance, and Alexa Plus to several models. If you feel like your room(s) could benefit from speakers to deliver tunes, audiobooks, or podcasts to more corners of your home, or screens to show recipes, photos, or videos, there are some great early Big Spring Sale deals that are worth checking out."
"In terms of smart displays, Amazon's Echo Show 11 is a great deal at $169.99 (was $219.99), while the smaller Echo Show 8 with an 8.7-inch screen is $139.99 (was $179.99). Our Jennifer Pattison Tuohy has used both, and considers their screens "light-years ahead" of the previous model, though the larger device has a 1080p screen while the smaller is at 720p resolution."
"Moving to speakers, the $189.99 (usually $219.99) Echo Studio gives the Apple HomePod 2 a run for its money, with room-filling sound and Atmos support. Even Amazon's smaller, cheaper Echo Dot Max at $74.99 (was $99.99) is a solid value, thanks to its improved design and performance."
Amazon's refreshed Echo lineup from late 2025 delivers enhanced hardware and performance improvements across smart speakers and displays. The Echo Show 11 is available at $169.99 (down from $219.99), while the Echo Show 8 with its 8.7-inch screen costs $139.99 (reduced from $179.99). Both feature significantly improved screens compared to previous models, with the larger device offering 1080p resolution and the smaller providing 720p. For audio, the Echo Studio at $189.99 (usually $219.99) competes effectively with the Apple HomePod 2, delivering room-filling sound with Atmos support. The Echo Dot Max at $74.99 (was $99.99) represents solid value with its redesigned form factor and enhanced performance. These early Big Spring Sale deals make the refreshed Echo products attractive options for home audio and display needs.
