The Echo Show 8 (3rd Gen) and the Echo Hub are both popular options that come with tablet-like screens you can use to control the various applications that manage your smart home.

Both devices have an 8 " 1280x800 pixel touchscreen that allows them to display visual information in a way that you can't with the basic Echo smart speaker models.

The Show 8 is better suited for multimedia use than the new Echo Hub , which is more suited to working as a control center for smart devices.

The Echo Show 8 (3rd Gen) is currently retailing for $ 149.99 on Amazon .

The device has received praise for its connectivity, ease of setup, and screen quality.

The Show 8 has exemplary media performance, while the Hub offers a more streamlined and smart control-oriented interface with less bloat.

Choosing the best model for you ultimately comes down to what you want to use it for.
