Amazon’s Black Friday deals: Echo speakers, Apple iPads, and more - The Verge

The fifth-gen Echo Dot touts a temperature sensor, better sound, and faster response time than the prior model.

Amazon’s Echo Show 5 is an ideal smart display for a nightstand.

If you’re searching for an Echo Show that’s better suited for streaming and video calls, the second-gen Echo Show 8 is currently available at Amazon for $69.99 instead of its usual $129.99.

The Show 8 has a larger screen, a better camera, and better speakers than the aforementioned Echo Show 5, making it a better choice for the more open areas of your home.

The Echo Show 8 is the midsize smart display in Amazon’s current Echo lineup and can be used to display the weather, news, calendars, grocery lists, and more.

It’s the best smart display for making video calls.

The 15.6-inch device also features the same Alexa functionality as other Echo displays and smart speakers.

This puck-like Echo Dot is the third generation of Amazon’s smart speaker.

It offers better sound than its predecessor, a compact design, and all the smarts that come with owning an Alexa device.

The HD 8 Plus is largely identical to the standard HD 8 but has 3GB of RAM and also supports wireless charging.

The HD 10 Plus includes these improvements as well but also features support for wireless charging, a soft-touch finish, and an additional gigabyte of RAM that allows for slightly better performance.

The Plus model of the 10-inch Kindle Fire tablet offers many of the same features as the standard model but is equipped with 4GB of RAM, making it slightly more capable than its less expensive counterpart.

The standard model of the Galaxy Tab A7 Lite is a smaller, more affordable version of the Tab A7 that features an 8.7-inch display and 1340 x 800 resolution.

The standard Pixel 7 features an excellent camera array and vibrant display powered by Google’s second-gen Tensor CPU, making it an excellent value for Android users, even if the display is limited to a 90Hz refresh rate.

The 7 Pro, on the other hand, uses the same chip as the standard model but includes a larger screen with a 120Hz refresh rate, a more impressive camera array, and better battery life.

The Google Pixel 7 upgrades the standard model of the Pixel with Google’s second-gen Tensor CPU and an upgraded ultrawide camera.

But that’s not the only thing that makes them Google’s best buds yet: the Pixel Buds Pro combine impressive sound, great battery life, and good comfort — all without the connection issues of earlier models.
