In today's Amazon Deal of the Day, the Echo Show 8, Amazon's smart display with an 8-inch HD screen and Alexa integration, is currently £40 off, costing just £59.99 instead of the usual £99.99 price tag. This is for the first-gen Echo Show 8 that came out in 2019. The 2021 version costs quite a bit more at £119.99.

Connect with video calling and messaging: call friends and family who have the Alexa app or an Echo device with a screen. Make announcements to other devices in your home.

Be entertained: ask Alexa to show you TV programmes, films or the news. Listen to radio stations, podcasts and audiobooks.

Control your smart home: voice control compatible devices, or manage them on the easy-to-use display. Ask Alexa to show you security cameras, control lights and adjust thermostats.

Make it yours: display your Amazon photo albums and customise your Home screen. Create morning routines to start your day.

Made to fit your life: cook step-by-step recipes. Easily update to-do lists and calendars. Glance at weather and traffic on your way out.

Designed to protect your privacy: electronically disconnect the microphones and camera with the press of a button. Slide the built-in cover to close the camera.

There's also an offer where you can get the Echo Show 8 with adjustable stand at 32% off for just £84.98 which is a £40 savings on the usual £124.98 bundle price.
