New Delhi, january 20, 2026 — amazon has officially launched two latest Alexa‑powered smart display devices in India: Amazon Echo Show 11 (newest gen) and the fourth‑generation Echo Show 8 models. These devices aim to bring smarter home assistance coupled with video, audio, and automation features to indian households.
📊 Prices and Availability
- Echo Show 11: ₹26,999
- Echo Show 8 (4th Gen): ₹23,999
Both devices are available for purchase on Amazon India, Flipkart, and offline retail stores such as reliance Digital and Croma in Graphite and Glacier White finishes.
🖥️ Display & Design
- Echo Show 11 sports a 11‑inch Full HD edge‑to‑edge glass display, offering a larger and more immersive screen than earlier models.
- The Echo Show 8 features an 8.7‑inch HD edge‑to‑edge display with slim bezels for comfortable viewing.
Both screens are touch‑enabled and support easy interaction through tap or voice.
🤖 Smart Performance & Alexa Integration
Both models run on Amazon’s AZ3 Pro chip and include the Omnisense sensor platform, which uses inputs from motion, presence, temperature, audio sensors, and more to enable automatic routines. For example, compatible lights can turn on when someone enters the room, or a fan might activate when the temperature rises — all without directly asking Alexa.
These devices also support Alexa’s voice control, with potential future compatibility with Alexa+ (generative AI‑powered assistant) once available in India.
📹 Camera & Communication
Both Echo Show devices come with a 13MP auto‑framing camera and noise‑reduction technology for clear video calls via Alexa or other Echo devices. The camera can also be used to view live feeds from connected security cameras or video doorbells on a single screen.
🔊 Audio & Entertainment
The new smart displays feature front‑facing stereo speakers with a custom woofer and spatial audio support, delivering deeper bass and more immersive sound quality. You can:
- Stream music from services like Amazon music, apple music, Spotify, JioSaavn, and Audible
- Watch videos from Prime Video, Netflix, or YouTube via the built‑in browser
- Use the display for recipes, calendars, reminders, and more.
🏡 Smart home Control & Automation
With the built‑in smart home hub and Omnisense routines, users can:
- Control smart lights, fans, thermostats, and more
- Set up custom automation based on motion, presence, or temperature
- Monitor security camera feeds
These features make the Echo Show devices useful as a central smart home dashboard.
🔐 Privacy Controls
To protect user privacy, the devices include:
- Physical microphone and camera off buttons
- Settings to view and delete voice recordings via the Alexa app
These measures give users control over what data is shared.

Whether you’re managing daily routines, making video calls, streaming content, or controlling smart devices, these displays aim to be a centerpiece of connected homes.
