SAVE $50: The Echo Show 15 is on sale for $199.99 as of May 3. That’s its first discount to date, shaving 20% off its $249.99 MSRP.
Prime Day is still a few months away — yes, we finally have a date range — but you wouldn’t know that based on all the Echo deals Amazon’s been dropping lately. From a 99-cent Echo Dot to some new all-time lows for the Echo Show 8 and second-gen Echo Buds, these are the exact kinds of can’t-miss markdowns the retail giant normally reserves for its annual shopping event.
The trend continues with the Echo Show 15, a huge new 15.6-inch smart display that Amazon just put on sale for the first time since its release last winter. As of May 3, you can get one for only $199.99 — that’s 20% off its suggested retail price of $249.99 (and a $50 savings).
Amazon just dropped a big hint about when Prime Day will be
Designed to sit on a countertop or be mounted on a wall, the Echo Show 15 is the smart home version of a quadruple threat: It has a customizable Alexa interface with calendars, to-do lists, recipes, and a cool Sticky Notes widget, which effectively turns it into a household bulletin board. It can connect with compatible smart home devices (from cameras to speakers) to serve as a smart home hub. It has a Full HD (1080p) resolution, making it great for streaming shows and movies. And a Photo Frame feature turns it into a digital picture frame that can showcase shots from your Amazon Photos and Facebook albums. (It works in both portrait and landscape mode, too.)
All things considered, it’s a pretty massive upgrade for the Echo Show lineup. (Amazon did skip all the way from the Echo Show 10 to the 15, so that kind of tracks.) If your household has yet to embrace the whole smart home thing, this new pricing presents the perfect opportunity to do so.
