Amazon’s Alexa-enabled smart speakers and smart displays have pretty much always been able to do a lot of neat things, taking voice commands for tasks as diverse as music streaming, smart home controls, setting timers and alarms, delivering news briefings, and even video calls and video streaming.
If you want to own this big guy now that it can act as a Fire TV streaming device replacement for your kitchen or even living room, Amazon is running a special sale to celebrate and highlight the new update, allowing you to pick up the Echo Show 15 alongside a nice and handy third-gen Alexa Voice Remote at a combined $85 discount from a $279.98 list price.
If not, you’ll be stuck with a virtual remote that’s unlikely to be as easy to navigate for crystal clear reasons, as well as voice commands directed at the Echo Show 15 itself. The jumbo-sized smart display, meanwhile, is also being enriched with spatial audio processing technology as part of this software update, thus working on improving its sound in addition to the accessibility of its video content.
