While Amazon’s previous lineup of Echo speakers and smart displays was boring, frankly, its late 2025 hardware refresh brought better hardware, improved performance, and Alexa Plus to several models. If you feel like your room(s) could benefit from speakers to deliver tunes, audiobooks, or podcasts to more corners of your home, or screens to show recipes, photos, or videos, there are some great early Big Spring Sale deals that are worth checking out.
In terms of smart displays, Amazon’s Echo Show 11 is a great deal at $169.99 (was $219.99), while the smaller Echo Show 8 with an 8.7-inch screen is $139.99 (was $179.99). Our Jennifer Pattison Tuohy has used both, and considers their screens “light-years ahead” of the previous model, though the larger device has a 1080p screen while the smaller is at 720p resolution. Moving to speakers, the $189.99 (usually $219.99) Echo Studio gives the Apple HomePod 2 a run for its money, with room-filling sound and Atmos support. Even Amazon’s smaller, cheaper Echo Dot Max at $74.99 (was $99.99) is a solid value, thanks to its improved design and performance.
Here are all of the deals in one place:
