These new models combine improvements in design, audio performance and features, meeting the needs of Alexa users looking for organization, entertainment and connectivity.
Echo Show 21: an ever-larger screen, improved audio qualities
The nouvel Echo Show 21 is the largest screen Amazon has ever made. It has a slab Full HD de 21 pouces providing a display surface twice as large than that of the Echo Show 15. With optimized audio quality – double the bass and powerful sound – it enriches the multimedia experience and video calls. Its camera, also improved, offers a wider field of vision and 65% greater zoom than the first Echo Show 15 with an automatic framing functionality ideal for dynamic conversations. Thanks to new noise reduction technology, calls with loved ones will be even clearer, even in noisy environments like the kitchen or living room.
