Key takeaways The new Echo Show 16 is completely redesigned with a stunning 16-inch full high-definition screen—available in standard vibrant and Nanomatte displays. Screen Styles transform your device into a full-time family organizer, smart home dashboard, or digital photo frame.

Echo Show 16 comes with the full Fire TV experience built in, seamless integration with your favorite streaming services, and a remote control in the box. For years, voice has been an easy way to get things done with Alexa.

But there are moments when seeing something makes all the difference—following a recipe while you cook, figuring out where everyone needs to be by when, or comparing a few options before you buy. That’s why Echo Show has been our fastest-growing Echo product line, growing more than 25% year over year.

And as Alexa becomes more capable, the screen becomes even more important. Today, we’re introducing the all-new Echo Show 16 —our most powerful and versatile Echo Show yet.

All-new Echo Show 16 The Echo Show 16 features a stunning 16-inch display with 10% more viewing area than the Echo Show 15, and colors twice as vibrant—all in a sleek anodized aluminum frame that’s nearly 40% thinner.

It packs an entirely new audio architecture into its slim design, with eight custom micro woofers and two tweeters that deliver powerful audio, so your video calls and TV shows sound crystal clear, even in a busy kitchen.

With Advanced Room Adaptation, it continuously optimizes playback for its surroundings—whether mounted on the wall or sitting on the counter on one of two custom stand accessories. Echo Show 16 is also available with a Nanomatte display option, featuring the same advanced anti-glare technology used in Amazon Alexa Tablet 12 Pro.

The process etches a custom, precise, pixel-aligned texture into the glass that preserves detail and color accuracy. The result is more than 90% less glare and 50% less sparkle, with deep blacks, rich colors, and stunning clarity—even in direct sunlight or under bright kitchen lights—so you can enjoy content from any angle.

Echo Show 16 also features our most advanced Echo Show camera yet, with an all-new wide-angle 13-megapixel camera and the widest field of view we've ever offered on an Echo Show. We've more than doubled the range of Visual ID, from eight to up to 17 feet, so Alexa can recognize you from across the room.

And for the first time on an Echo Show, we've added night vision, making it easy to check in on your home day or night with Live View in the Alexa app.

Amazon introduces Alexa Photo Frame—the smartest way to bring your photos into the home Alexa intelligently picks the photos worth seeing from Amazon Photos, keeps them current, and makes any moment easy to find, relive, and share. Even more power and intelligence The new Echo Show 16 has 20% more computing power, so interactions are fast and fluid.

The enhanced Omnisense sensor fusion technology combines room temperature sensors and improved presence detection, so Alexa can turn up the thermostat when the room is too cold or turn on the lights when you enter the room.

Advanced background noise cancellation and voice isolation help Alexa hear you clearly—even when the kitchen is buzzing with conversation and activity.

Fire TV built-in Echo Show 16 also comes with the full Fire TV experience built in—meaning your content from streaming services like Netflix, Disney+, YouTube, Prime Video, HBO Max, Peacock, Tubi, and Pluto is all in one place. Recommendations and recently watched content all show up beautifully just like on your other Fire TV devices.

Browse all your subscriptions in one place with the included remote, or skip browsing entirely and just ask Alexa+ for a recommendation based on your interests or preferences. You can also ask to pull up stats from the game you're watching, add something to your watchlist, or move what's playing to a different TV.

Make your smart display what you want Echo Show 16 makes it easier than ever to tailor your device exactly to you. We’ve added a customizable favorites bar on the side of the home screen, so you can pin the capabilities or services you use most and get to them in an instant.

Three new Screen Styles let you transform your Echo Show 16 home screen into whatever your home needs most—a full-time family organizer, smart home dashboard, or digital photo frame.

Smart Home: Turn your device into an always-on dashboard for your connected home, making it easier than ever to control the thousands of smart home devices that connect to Alexa. Adjust the lights, change the thermostat, move music between speakers, and access the new Alexa Home Map, all at your fingertips.

It’s fully customizable, so you can display the devices you use most and make it as simple or complex as you like. Family Organizer: Transform Echo Show 16 into a central hub for your family. See a snapshot of your color-coded schedules, tasks, and meal plans together in one place.
