Overview
The Echo Show 11 is Amazon's 11-inch Full HD smart display, built around Alexa+ with a wider screen, spatial audio, and a built-in smart home hub for controlling connected devices.
This is a generational update rather than a new category: Amazon quantifies the jump as 60 percent more viewing area versus the 2025 Echo Show 8 and up to 2x the bass versus the 2023 model. Omnisense lets routines trigger on presence, temperature, or visual ID rather than voice alone, and the hub function removes the need for a separate smart home bridge for many devices. Alexa+ is woven through several features, from finding songs to curating photo slideshows.
- 11-inch Full HD display, 60% more viewing area vs Echo Show 8 (2025)
- Built-in smart home hub, AZ3 Pro chip
- Auto-framing camera, 3.3x zoom, for video calls
- Spatial audio with deeper bass than Echo Show 8 (2023)
Who it's for
Fits households already using Alexa who want a larger shared screen for video calls, recipes, and smart home control in a kitchen or living space. Less suited to anyone outside the Alexa ecosystem or who does not want a microphone and camera in the room, despite the physical disable controls.
Pros and cons
- 11-inch Full HD touchscreen with 60% more viewing area than Echo Show 8 (2025)
- Built-in smart home hub controls compatible devices without extra hardware
- Auto-framing camera with 3.3x zoom for video calls
- Physical mic and camera disable controls on the device
- Several standout features, recipe finding, photo curation, reservations, are tied to Alexa+
- Requires the Alexa app and ecosystem to set up and use
- Always-on microphone and camera will not suit everyone despite hardware controls
Performance notes
The AZ3 Pro chip drives the interface and the Omnisense feature set, which can trigger routines from temperature, presence, or visual ID detection rather than voice commands alone. Video calls use an auto-framing camera with 3.3x zoom and noise reduction, and the speaker system is tuned for a wider stereo stage and deeper bass than the prior Echo Show 8. Physical microphone and camera disable controls sit on the device itself alongside the software privacy settings.
