Amazon Echo Show 10 (3rd Gen) vs Amazon Echo Show 8 (3rd Gen) comparison

Updated December 2025

Data from Amazon.

2026 verdict

The Amazon Echo Show 10 (3rd Gen) is the better all-round smart display in this closely matched pair, leading on its larger 10.1-inch screen and a higher owner rating over the Amazon Echo Show 8 (3rd Gen). Its motorized base sets it apart, swiveling the screen to keep facing you during video calls and while you move around the kitchen. The Show 8 is the value option: it costs less, delivers well-regarded spatial audio, and its 8-inch screen fits neatly on a counter or nightstand. The two are otherwise very evenly specced, both carry a camera, a motion sensor, a one-year warranty, and the same full Zigbee/Thread/Matter hub, and both are Alexa-only. Pick the Show 10 if the rotating screen and larger display justify the step up; pick the Show 8 if you want the same hub and camera for less.
