The Echo Show 8 (3rd Gen) is a fantastic device but will you get one? Let me know your thoughts about it below

[@hecntina]

Thanks for the detailed review. I'm upgrading from the gen 1 to this one for only $50, with trade-in promo. The improvements seem iterative, rather than having major innovations, but that's the norm nowadays (e.g., Apple & Samsung).

Just bought it was going to get echo 15 have i made the best choice.does the 15 have the same things as the 8 3rd just a biger screan

[@james_newall]

Hi Lee, as you mention perhaps the main difference between the Echo Show 15 and this (aside from the higher price) is the size of the screen which although you can buy a floor mount for it is designed to be placed on the wall. I haven't used one myself, but the larger screen and the fact it comes with Fire TV might be a choice decider for some. However, if the purpose is to use it as a TV then keep in mind it doesn't come with a remote which would make it easier to use, the speakers aren't as good, it only has a 5MP camera, it's two years older than the Echo Show 8 (3rd Gen) and it doesn't come with a built-in Zigbee smart home hub. Having a floor mount (as the Echo Show 8 does) also makes it easier to move around and adjust if you need to. These are just my thoughts though.

Hi Jack, I just had a look and you're right! Here's hoping you can get one soon 🙂!
