Amazon's Alexa-Equipped Device With Voice-Activated Video Is Coming This Summer

Echo Show will have the skills of the Echo with a 7-inch touchscreen

Amazon is finally ready to give Alexa a face—sort of.

Today, the ecommerce giant unveiled the Echo Show, the next generation of its voice assistant-enabled speaker. It will come with a seven-inch touchscreen display. The Show, which is scheduled for release on June 28, will be available for about the same price as the company’s flagship Amazon Echo device.

While it has all of the same features as the Echo, the Echo Show’s screen and front-facing camera will allow users to make voice-activated video calls or watch videos from YouTube, newscasts and security cameras.
