Amazon’s Blink smart home brand is perhaps best known for its affordability in the intelligent home camera space. It delivers range of both indoor and outdoor cameras you can often times score for as low as $20 on Amazon, and today it is introducing its very first 2K video doorbells. 

After sitting is early access mode for Echo customers for quite some time, Amazon has now announced that Alexa+ is now available for everyone. The upgrade AI assistant costs $19.99 per month, but you can score at no additional cost if you’re a Prime member. 

Much like Samsung before it and the new LG Wallpaper and Gallery TVs announced at CES 2026, Amazon is stepping into the lifestyle TV space. It has just officially announced the all-new Amazon Ember Artline – “a beautiful 4K QLED TV featuring support for Dolby Vision, HDR10+, Wi-Fi 6, and a thin 1.5-inch design.” 

Back in September Amazon unleashed a whole slate of new gear, from the latest Echo Dot Max and Show smart displays, through to the latest from its affordable Blink smart home brand, and some new Kindles. Among the headliners here were the all-new Kindle Scribe – Amazon’s second-generation reader-meets-tablet – and the new Kindle Scribe Colorsoft – the first Scribe model with a color display. Both are now up for purchase starting today for the first time. 

Update: Pre-orders are now live on the Echo speakers and displays:

• Amazon Echo Dot Max $100
• Amazon Echo Studio $220
• Amazon Echo Show 8 $180
• Amazon Echo Show 11 $220

Alongside the new Kindle Colorsoft, Ring gear, Blink cams, and more, the headliner reveal of today’s show is the long-awaited next-generation Echo smart speakers and Echo Show smart displays. 

As part of today’s live event in NYC, the all-new Kindle Scribe Colorsoft has been revealed. This new reader-meets-tablet takes on all of the stylus action of the existing Kindle Scribe, but as the name suggests also delivers a full color screen like that of the existing Kindle Colorsoft. There’s some other new models too.

Update: Pre-orders are now live on the Echo speakers and displays:

• Amazon Echo Dot Max $100
• Amazon Echo Studio $220
• Amazon Echo Show 8 $180
• Amazon Echo Show 11 $220

Today could be a big day for the Amazon Devices team as it is set to take the stage in NYC to reveal what appears to be the next-generation of Echo devices (likely some Kindle and Fire TV action too). While much of its current lineup of Echo smart speakers and devices, as well as some Kindles and the Fire TV Sticks are already seeing as much as 50% price drops as part of the early Prime Big Deals Days sale, the next-generation models appear to be on the horizon, and we will know all about them this morning.
