If you want a smart display but the 10 inch size of the Echo Show 10 and Google Nest Hub screens are too small for you, then Amazon may have a device that will be of interest to you.
Launching next week on 30th March, the new Amazon Echo Show 15 is now listed on the Amazon Australia website as well as JB Hi-Fi and will cost $399 by itself, $448.95 with a standard tilt stand or $458.95 with a tilt and swivel stand.
Amazon hopes that this new smart display featuring a 15.6 inch 1080p Full HD resolution screen, 5 MP camera and two 1.6″ speakers, will be prominently displayed in your kitchen or dining room.
One key difference the Echo Show 15 has to it’s smaller Echo Show cousins besides the larger size screen is the new Amlogic Pop1 octa-core SoC with Amazon AZ2 neural network engine. This enables machine learning such as a new facial detection (locally stored).
We’ll let you know more about the Echo Show 15 once we get a hands on experience of it next week.
it would be cool if apple could allow facetime video calls on these amazon echo show
but this will never happen for sure
amazon here just copied the device from Facebook
its called the facebook portal
they are just copying it , its the same design
this is unbelievable
Video calling devices with Alexa built-in | Portal from Facebook
to be honest amazon echo show isnt a good device when it comes to video calling
I prefer to buy the facebook portal , especially it does facebook messenger and whatsapp video calls and group video calls
the amazon echo show got something called ALEXA video calling
nearly 0 percent people uses the Alexa video calling !
Thanks for reminding me about the Facebook Portal screens
I’d forgotten about them because they’re not sold in any shops in Australia and I only know 1 person who has one
I have the portal tv from facebook
I use it to call my parents from australia to lebanon
its the best device for video calling
its awesome doing whatsapp video calls on TV
