Next week the Amazon annual hardware event will take place and there is anticipation around the possible launch of new Echo speakers. According to Bloomberg, one of the devices in the folder would arrive with a screen of approximately 15 inches, and could be mounted on the wall .
According to the information, it would have been thought of as a kind of “smart home control panel”. This would mean that the gadget in question would be used to control all kinds of connected devices, such as cameras and lights. In addition, the graphical interface would present widgets to view photos and check the weather or the calendar, among other functions.
Amazon's new Echo would have been specifically designed for use in the kitchen . Thus, users could view recipes and video tutorials; Although it would also allow access to third-party applications such as Netflix, according to the report. And while it could be static on a wall, it could also be placed on a table using a stand.
Amazon could launch its own soundbar with Alexa
Soundbars with support for Alexa aren't new to the market. However, Amazon would have in mind to launch its own version of this type of device. The sound bar in question, whose code name is Harmony, would come to accompany the catalog of televisions that the American company will introduce.
The device would include a front camera and would allow video calls through a television. In this sense, Bloomberg indicates that the soundbar could work in a similar way as Portal TV does, from Facebook.
On the other hand, Amazon could present a new version of Echo Auto . This device was introduced in 2020 as an alternative to bring Alexa to any car, although it was not well received by users. This time it would come with renovations both in design and features.
Finally, the Amazon hardware event would also allow us to meet new wearables. Just as the sports bracelet Amazon Halo was presented at the time, now we would see similar accessories but with versions for children and older adults; and in the latter case they would arrive with fall detection .
