The Echo Show 8 is practically identical to the first, measuring 5.4 by 7.9 by 3.9 inches (HWD) and having a roughly triangular side profile that tilts the 8-inch screen back slightly like an easel. The screen’s upper right corner houses a camera with a half-inch frame that is completely flush with the LCD. On the top edge, there are pinhole cutouts for the far-field microphones, volume up/down, mic mute, and a mechanical button for the camera’s privacy shutter. The Echo Show 8’s body cloth matches the color of the front frame on the back.
The Echo Show 8 is essentially the same as the Echo Show 7 in terms of audio and display. It has a 8.0-inch touch screen with 1,280 by 800 pixel resolution and two 2.0-inch speaker drivers with a passive bass radiator. In regular use, you probably won’t notice much of a change in performance or responsiveness even if the MediaTek MT8183 CPU in this smartphone is more powerful than the MT8163 in the previous model. ..
The Blink Mini is a security camera that is not very eye-catching, but it is totally OK. The Mini has a simple, refined appearance that is pleasing to the eye and completely unoffensive. Security cameras aren’t exactly supposed to stand out, and the simple rounded cube shape and minimalist black and white paint job of the Mini lend it that appearance.
The Blink Mini is a two-inch-tall plastic ball and socket jointed device that can be adjusted to a variety of angles and positions. The metal base makes it sturdy, while the stiffness of the joint ensures that the correct position will always be maintained.
