Amazon's annual autumnal showcase is likely coming up quickly, and we have a lofty wishlist of everything we'd like to see at the event.
If you’re thinking about investing in smart home technology, now is one of the best times to see what one of the biggest names in consumer tech has planned for the near future of web-connected gear. The big brand in question is Amazon, and the company’s fall hardware event is soon upon us, although exactly when is still to be determined.
A new generation of Echo speakers With the December 2021 release of the Echo Show 15, along with the second-gen iterations of the Echo Show 5 and 8 models , it’s unlikely we’ll hear about any new smart displays at Amazon’s fall showcase. That said, it’s been a minute since the Echo speaker lineup has received any love, with the fourth-gen Echo and Echo Dot being on shelves for two years now.
It would also be a good idea for Amazon to start figuring out how to build Dolby Atmos capabilities into its speaker family, or to introduce some kind of proprietary Amazon codec for 3D soundstaging . When you consider the fact that Amazon operates its own HD music platform, and that more and more competitors are figuring out ways to add Atmos to web-connected speakers and soundbars, it makes sense for the titan of tech to hop on the Dolby wagon, pronto.
The wonderful world of Ring It’s been some time since we’ve heard anything about the Ring Always Home Cam, or any new Ring products or services for that matter. While it’s possible that Amazon will reveal some more information about the polarizing security drone this fall, there’s just as good of a chance that we’ll go through the entire showcase without mention of the airborne device.
In terms of Ring announcements, if we don’t hear any more intel about a possible release date for the Always Home Cam, it is possible that Amazon will pull back the curtain a bit more on Ring’s forthcoming Virtual Security Guard service. A new smart thermostat Amazon released its own smart thermostat last year, which is a pretty decent addition to the world of web-connected temperature controls, there was one major miss — no built-in Alexa.
