It is official. Amazon has added yet another product to the Echo lineup – the Echo Show.
Featuring a small 7-inch touchscreen, the new smart speaker will come with support for the company’s artificial intelligence Alexa. It will also offer users the ability to make video calls, play videos from various platforms like YouTube and even display visuals to accompany your queries to Alexa.
Rumors about the Echo Show initially surfaced in November last year, when reports speculated Amazon is gearing up to unveil a supersized smart speaker with a touchscreen.

- 5MP camera for hands-free video calls.
- On-screen lyrics for tracks played from Amazon Music, with support for Pandora, Spotify, TuneIn, iHeartRadio and others.
