FULL STORY
======================================================================Amazon 
has four new Echo speakers for your consideration They are the Echo Studio, 
the Echo Dot Max, and two Echo Shows All of these speakers come with Alexa+ 
out of the box 

Having announced the upgraded Alexa+ AI assistant earlier this year, Amazon 
has now revealed four shiny new Echo speakers to take advantage of it: the 
Echo Dot Max, the Echo Show (in 8-inch and 11-inch sizes), and the Echo 
Studio. @techradar

 All four of these models are upgrades on existing speakers, with faster 
processors, more memory, and advanced sensing capabilities intended to 
deliver "ambient AI experiences that fade into the background of daily life"  
think reminders that you hear when you walk into a room, for example. 

First up, the Echo Dot Max, a new take on the 5th-gen Echo Dot that brings 
with it a new design, 3x the bass power, two internal speakers, plus all the 
internal upgrades. It's yours for $99.99 / 99.99 / AU$199. @techradar

Then we have the new $219.99 / 219.99 / AU$429 Echo Studio, replacing the old 
Echo Studio . It's 40% smaller, looks a lot like the Echo Dot Max, and 
includes a high-excursion woofer and three full-range drivers. Spatial audio 
and Dolby Atmos are supported, and like its predecessor, it's one for the 
audiophiles out there. 

As an added bonus, Amazon says you can easily set up a maximum of five Echo 
Studio and Echo Dot Max devices as a surround sound system for your Fire TV. 
This was possible with the existing hardware, but the limit was a 2.1 channel 
system. Preorders are open now, with availability on October 29. Show me the 
speakers 

Next there are the two new Echo Show models, with 8-inch and 11-inch screens. 
The design has been revamped from the older versions , and they now have a 
more modern look and improved touchscreens. 

There's a 13-megapixel camera that can recognize you, and personalize the 
information (like calendar schedules) shown on screen. With two front-facing 
speakers and a custom woofer, Amazon promises superior sound from these units 
as well. 

The on-board software has been reconfigured too, to surface more information 
and information that's more relevant  across entertainment, shopping, and the 
smart home. You can also now connect your Oura account to get health and 
wellness data up on your Echo Show screen, with more partners to come.

These two speakers are available from November 12, though you can preorder 
them now. The 8-inch model costs $179.99 / 179.99 / AU$349, while the 11-inch 
model  actually a new screen size for the series  is $219.99 / 219.99 / 
AU$429. 

All of these new products come with Alexa+ out of the box, Amazon says, which 
means you get the smarter, more conversational, more natural AI assistant at 
your disposal  something more like Google Gemini rather than Google 
Assistant. You might also like The Amazon 2025 launch event as it happened
