Introduction

The Amazon Echo Show 15 (2nd Gen) Smart Display is a powerful and versatile smart home hub built to enhance everyday living with a large 15.6-inch Full HD touchscreen that serves as both an information center and entertainment display. Its crisp, 1080p screen is perfect for streaming your favorite movies and shows with built-in Fire TV support, browsing recipes hands-free while cooking, or checking the weather, calendars, and reminders at a glance.

Equipped with a 13 MP wide-angle camera that supports auto-framing and a physical privacy shutter, the Echo Show 15 makes video calls feel natural and secure. The device also doubles as a smart home control hub, supporting Zigbee, Thread, and Matter protocols to easily manage compatible lights, locks, and sensors with voice or touch commands.

With Wi-Fi 6E connectivity, rich stereo sound from dual woofers and tweeters, and customizable widget layouts for things like shopping lists, sticky notes, and smart device status, the Echo Show 15 integrates productivity, connectivity, and entertainment into one sleek display you can mount on a wall or place on a countertop.
