Amazon's wall-mounted smart display gets a big screen update. The Amazon Echo Show 21 sports a 21-inch screen with a 1080p resolution. According to the company, it features better audio and doubles the viewing area of the original Echo Show 15. It can supposedly deliver "immersive sound, double the bass and room adaptation technology."
The Echo Show 21 also has a better camera and a built-in smart home hub that supports Matter and Thread protocols alongside Zigbee. The auto-framing camera now has over double the field of view and provides 65% more zoom than its predecessor. It also adds noise reduction to make the audio for your video calls clearer.
The Echo Show 21 also has Wi-Fi 6E support for faster music and video streaming. It might be more enjoyable to watch your favourite shows, movies, and online content on this device as it doubles as a Fire TV and is compatible with Amazon's Fire TV remote.

This large smart display also has customizable widgets on the home screen that include a calendar, shopping, to-do lists, and smart home controls. The refreshed audio widget can show all your favourite audio content and allow you to play audio across multiple speakers.
The Amazon Echo Show 21 retails for $549.99 in Canada and includes the wall-mounting equipment. You can get the countertop stand separately.
