Grab an Echo Show 5 smart screen for just $50 or an Echo Show 8 for $94

Amazon doesn’t always have the best deals on Amazon gear. Case in point: The Echo Show 5 smart screen is currently marked down to $70 as part of Amazon’s big device sale, but for a limited time, and while supplies last, UntilGone has the Echo Show 5 for just $50 with promo code 266820. That ties the lowest price I’ve ever seen.

That seller also has the larger Echo Show 8 for $94 with promo code 9567820. That’s not the lowest price on record, but it’s $6 below what Amazon is charging right now.

These Echo Shows pack in all the usual Alexa-powered voice goodness and add a 5.5- or 8-inch touchscreen. They also have front-facing cameras (with privacy shutter), so video calls with friends and family are a breeze.

The Show 5 might be better suited to your nightstand than to, say, a kitchen counter, though take note that some may find the display a little bright, even at its lowest setting. Read CNET’s Echo Show 5 review to learn more. And here’s the Echo Show 8 review as well. (Spoiler alert: “Best smart screen, period.”)

I am finally getting one of these, so expect some hands-on feedback from me the next time there’s an Echo Show deal.
