Amazon is developing a high-end speaker? With 7-inch touch screen

September 09, 2021

Although Newsboy has encountered failure in the field of smart phones, Amazon does not seem to intend to abandon their efforts in the field of hardware. According to foreign media reports, Amazon is developing a high-end speaker with a touch screen.

If the rumors are true, it also means that the online retail giant is trying to monetize its success in voice control home products and is targeting Apple and Google's competitors.

Previously, Amazon Echo product features were based on the company's Alexa digital voice assistant, through voice control. Informed sources revealed that the new device will be equipped with a 7-inch large touch screen, so that users can more easily get weather forecasts, calendars and news and other content.

According to informed sources, the new Amazon speaker will also be better than the current Echo equipment in sound quality. This new device is expected to be shipped in the first quarter of next year.

In addition, the new device will use the optimized version of the Fire operating system. Like the current Echo device, it will be able to reply to the user's voice commands and questions.

In addition, Amazon is testing a new feature on the new device. Users can “pin” the picture on the speaker's display screen, similar to the fridge sticker we posted on the refrigerator door.

Informed sources said that after the introduction of new speakers, Amazon will continue to sell Dot, Tap and Echo speakers, but the high-end speakers with touch screen prices will be higher than these products.

Of course, this news is not groundless. At the beginning of this year, the Wall Street Journal reported that the hardware department of Amazon Lab126 is developing an Alexa-based device that will configure a display similar to a tablet computer.

Smart home devices are the new markets that major technology companies are scrambling to seize. However, until now, it is still difficult for them to achieve the same success as smartphones and PCs. Amazon is even more confused in the hardware sector. The Fire Phone launched in 2014 was a major failure. However, Echo let this company see hope. According to market institutions, sales of this device in the United States have exceeded 5 million.
