## Summary

Amazon has redesigned the Echo Show 16 with a glare-reducing nanomatte screen option, a larger display and a slimmer body. The update matters for people using a smart display in bright rooms, while changes to its cameras, sound and Alexa features aim to make it more useful for entertainment and household tasks.

The 16-inch Full HD screen offers 10 per cent more viewing area than the Echo Show 15, and the device is nearly 40 per cent thinner. Amazon says it has 20 per cent more computing power, eight micro woofers and two tweeters; its 13-megapixel wide-angle camera supports Visual ID recognition from up to 17 feet, compared with eight feet before. It includes Fire TV and new interactive Alexa+ features, which require Prime or an Alexa+ subscription. Pre-orders are open at $500 for the standard screen or $570 for nanomatte, with $100 off; shipping is due later this year.
