Everything announced at Amazon’s October 2026 hardware launch

Amazon had plenty of new gadgets to share at its Echo hardware event this year, along with updates to the AI-powered Alexa Plus after it became available to everyone in the US in February. But the big news this year is screens: devices with big, beautiful ones, and those that lack them entirely.

There’s the Alexa Photo Frame, which Amazon devices chief Panos Panay describes as “the world’s smartest photo frame” and that doubles as a full Alexa speaker. There’s also the new Echo Time smart alarm clock, the screenless Echo Studio with Home Camera, a fully redesigned Echo Dot, and Amazon’s latest flagship smart display, the Echo Show 16, which comes with a whopping eight woofers and can run the full Fire TV experience by touch.
