Today marks the end of the year Amazon Big Spring Sale and there are still a few tech deals worth checking out, including this bundle The Echo Show 8 is paired with an Amazon Basics smart bulb. If you bought them at full price and separately, you’d pay $163, but now the set is down to $100. That’s a 38 percent discount. If you want smart display on its own, the same is $100. That’s nearly $10 more than its record low price and a 33 percent savings.
Amazon’s Big Spring Sale takes 38 percent off the latest Echo Show 8 smart display and includes a free Amazon smart bulb.
If you’re just starting out on your smart home journey, you can think of the kit as a starter kit, as the Echo Show gives you voice and routine control over your new bulb. We called the previous generation Echo Show 8 the best Amazon display in our guide. It strikes a good balance between not taking up too much space and offering a fairly large viewing area with its 8-inch screen. We also liked how adept it was at handling video calls.
we made it take a look in this latest version of the display shown during Amazon’s hardware event last fall. It features a new edge-to-edge glass case and an overall slimmer design. But perhaps the most interesting update is the introduction of adaptive content functionality. Depending on where you are in the room, the display will show different content: large-font time and weather information when you’re far away, and more personalized calendars and news articles when you’re close.
The bulb lets you change its brightness and color just by talking to your smart display. You can also use the Alexa app to set routines that will, for example, turn the light off when you say “goodnight” or turn it on an hour before sunset.
