Amazon has launched its current generation Echo Show
in India. It's priced at INR 22,999 and will be available from Amazon.in and
select offline retailers. As a launch offer, Amazon is offering a free 9.5W Philips Hue LED
light bulb. There's also an INR 2000 cash back offer for Citibank customers. 0%
interest EMI options are also available.
The Echo Show is Amazon's flagship Echo device. The
model being launched in India today was first launched in the US and other
markets back in September 2018. The Echo Show has a large 10-inch touchscreen
LCD along with a pair of stereo speakers and a passive radiator at the back.
The Echo Show also has a smart hub built-in, so you can control smart home
devices, such as the free Philips Hue bulb you'll be getting, without having to
invest in dedicated hubs for each of them, provided they use the same Zigbee
protocol used by the Echo Show.
More impressive than the display were the speakers.
The side-firing 2-inch Neodymium drivers and a passive radiator use Dolby audio
processing to produce a rich, enveloping sound that can easily fill a
moderately-sized room. This is easily Amazon's best sounding Echo device.
The Echo Show also has a front camera for video
calls or you could also just make a voice call to other Echo users. Overall, the Echo Show is a
device who want something more than what the smaller Echo Spot or any of the
other Echo devices offer and are ready to pay a premium.
The Echo Show is available in black or white.
