Amazon Echo Show 15 gets a significant price cut and new features for household hub

The Amazon Echo Show 15 is now on sale at 37,980 yen, featuring enhanced integration for family organisation, smart home control, and improved video calling capabilities with a larger touchscreen.

Amazon Echo Show 15 is on sale for 37,980 yen, down 21% from its previous price of 47,980 yen, according to the retailer’s listing. The large smart display is pitched as more than a screen for films and television. It can also surface calendars, weather, family to-do lists and photos, while doubling as a control centre for compatible smart home devices.

The device combines Fire TV and Alexa on a 15.6-inch Full HD touchscreen, with content navigated by the included Alexa Voice Remote. Amazon’s product page says the Echo Show 15 supports Bluetooth, wall mounting or an optional stand and runs on Fire OS, with integrated Fire TV controls built into the experience. The retailer also lists dual-band Wi-Fi 5 support rather than Wi-Fi 6E, which differs from the Japanese article’s specification.

Home-screen widgets are a major part of the appeal. Amazon says users can place calendars, music, photos and task lists on the display, with personal calendar support for Google, Microsoft and iCloud accounts. That makes the device useful as a household dashboard as well as an entertainment screen, especially for families that want schedules and reminders visible at a glance.

For video calls, Amazon’s listing describes a 5MP camera and an integrated microphone, while the Japanese article says the model includes a 13MP camera with auto-framing, 3.3-times zoom and noise reduction. The device also includes a physical camera cover and microphone/camera mute controls. Taken together, the product is aimed at households that want a single wall-mounted screen for media, communication and daily organisation.
