We're living in strange and unprecedented times right now, and staying in touch with loved ones is more important than ever. Amazon has just made that a whole lot easier by slashing the prices on its Echo Show smart screen devices that can make video calls as well as offering a host of other useful features, like playing video, showing of handy info like the weather on-screen, and controlling your smart home. They're basically everything you love about the Alexa smart speaker with added screen-specific features.
Both the compact Echo Show 5 and the slightly more sizeable Echo Show 8 have dropped to prices that rival the Black Friday discounts we saw last year, making them a must right now. The devices are especially useful for family members who aren't very tech savvy - they can just talk to the device to communicate what they want and you can stay in touch easily with video calls.
The Echo Dot (3rd gen) and the Echo Dot (3rd gen) with the lovely-looking LED clock display have also had their prices dropped, so if you're already set up for video calls and are looking for a decent smart speaker, both of these devices have packed everything you need into their tiny little design. Check out the details below. Most of the offers are for the UK, but we've just updated with some similar US deals further down the page too.
Currys PC World is also running a deal on the Echo Show (opens in new tab) and Echo Dot (opens in new tab) devices, so if Amazon's stock starts running dry, you've got a back-up. The Amazon deals extend to US customers too, and you can find the links for those below.
