Amazon’s newest Echo Show 11 smart display is $60 off right now

Ready to upgrade your home life with a smart display, one that you can use as an entertainment screen, a smart home control hub, and a place to tune into security camera feeds and other remote cameras?

Right now, Amazon is selling its newest Echo Show 11 for just $190, down from its $250 MSRP (which was recently hiked up, along with a bunch of other Amazon products). Given the current state of consumer electronics and massive price hikes all across the board due to the AI-driven memory and storage shortage, that’s not a bad deal.

The Echo Show 11 is a fun little smart screen, featuring an 11-inch 1920×1200 touchscreen display. Use it to pull up recipes while cooking, check your calendar for appointments, and even play music or podcasts or YouTube videos while you’re doing chores. It’s equipped with room-filling spatial audio and about twice the bass of past models.

When used as a smart home hub, the Echo Show 11 can control countless Alexa-compatible smart devices with any extra hardware. You can control those devices with voice commands via Alexa, you can create automated and scheduled routines, you can pull video from cameras and doorbells, and you can even make video calls—the Echo Show 11 has a built-in webcam that automatically frames you just right.

At $190, it’s still a bit much for a first-time device if you have zero smart home gadgetry. But if you have some basic stuff already—like an Echo speaker, some bulbs, and a Ring video doorbell—then the Echo Show 11 is a great way to step things up, especially now that it’s on sale.
