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.

With a Nest camera, you can look through the camera history using natural language queries. For example, you can ask, "Did someone deliver a package today?" This feature is limited to Nest Aware Plus subscribers, but it might not come to all paid users, for now.
