Amazon's newly redesigned Echo Show 8 offers a form factor with a ton of potential. The relatively small smart speaker/display combo is roughly the size and shape of a small Kindle Fire in a stand and offers an extremely high-resolution camera as well as stereo speakers, an eight-core CPU, a mic array for better voice recognition and processing, and a relatively heavy, flat base which positions its screen well for viewing at either desk or chest height.
We were lucky enough to get two of the new devices for hands-on testing before launch and have had them for about a week.
