Amazon Prime members get 50% off Alexa devices: Echo Time, Echo Dot, Echo Studio, and more

Amazon has released a new lineup of Echo devices designed around Alexa+, featuring products spanning bedside clocks, smart speakers, photo frames, and large displays. According to Women Love Tech, the new lineup includes the Echo Time, Echo Dot, and Echo Studio with Home Camera, while Popular Mechanics reported on an expanded range that also includes the Alexa Photo Frame and Echo Show 16, following an early look at a private media briefing with Amazon.

Popular Mechanics reported that Panos Panay, Senior Vice President of Amazon Devices, used the new Echo Studio during a briefing to demonstrate video calling by spontaneously calling his parents. Women Love Tech noted that the Echo Time is the first bedside-focused Echo, featuring a camera-free design and a customisable circular touchscreen that displays alarms, weather, and media. Popular Mechanics listed the price of the Echo Time at $199.99, noting it is available in Graphite, Glacier White, and Coral Pink, alongside a separate kids' version. Women Love Tech added that the device uses Omnisense sensor fusion for sleep sensing to wake users during lighter sleep stages within an optimal window.

The updated Echo Dot features 50 percent more bass than the previous generation, a built-in smart home hub supporting Zigbee, Matter, and Thread, and a built-in eero Wi-Fi extender adding up to 93 square metres of coverage to an existing eero network, as reported by Women Love Tech. Popular Mechanics listed the standard Echo Dot starting at $99.99, with the Amazon Kids Echo Dot priced at $109.99 in Octopus and Penguin designs with a year of Amazon Kids+. Women Love Tech reported that the Dot is powered by Amazon's new AZ3 custom silicon with an AI Accelerator.

According to Women Love Tech, the Echo Studio with Home Camera includes a 13-megapixel camera enabling real-time visual assistance from Alexa+ and Live View monitoring, alongside Dolby Atmos sound and Advanced Room Adaptation. Popular Mechanics priced the Echo Studio with Home Camera at $249.99 in Graphite, while noting the standard Echo Studio remains available for $219.99. Popular Mechanics also detailed the Alexa Photo Frame starting at $199.99 with a 10-inch HD anti-glare touchscreen, and the Echo Show 16 with a 16-inch full HD display starting at $499.99 for the standard version and $569.99 for the Nanomatte version, both available for preorder with shipping expected later this year.
