Amazon launches four new Echo devices powered Alexa+
Amazon has unveiled its next wave of Echo devices—Echo Dot Max, Echo Studio, Echo Show 8, and Echo Show 11—engineered specifically to harness the power of its upgraded assistant, Alexa+. These devices are equipped with Amazon’s proprietary AZ3 and AZ3 Pro chips alongside the Omnisense sensor system, enabling more ambient, proactive, and context-aware AI interactions. They can detect who enters a room, offer reminders based on user behavior, and adapt their responses more intelligently to surroundings. The Echo Dot Max offers deeper bass with a two-way speaker architecture, while the Echo Studio adopts a compact spherical form with spatial audio and Dolby Atmos support. The Echo Show 8 and 11 integrate high-definition displays, 13 MP cameras for presence sensing, stereo speakers, and smart-home hub capabilities. All four models are open for pre-order, with staggered shipping dates in U.S. markets. Amazon is also launching an Alexa+ Store to consolidate compatible services and expand integration with major brands.
