Nothing says it's the holiday season like a brand-new Amazon device. Amazon has been expanding its product lineups left and right this year, from its speaker options with the revived Echo Spot to a relaunch of the entire Kindle line (with some hiccups). Now the Echo Show family is getting a big update. Literally—it's getting a massive, 21-inch device added to the roster.

The Echo Show 21 ($400) is the newest member of Amazon's vast list of Echo-powered devices, with a 21-inch display. It's a larger version of the Echo Show 15 ($300), a 15-inch display, which also got its second generation today. If you aren't familiar with the world of smart displays, think of a smart speaker, but add a screen that can display your smart home devices, let you play music and TV, and make video calls with the built-in camera. Both these new devices promise an upgrade in audio quality compared with the first-gen Echo Show 15, with more bass and room-adaptation technology. It's a smart move, since these large displays sit somewhere between smart display and small TV. Amazon includes an Alexa Voice Remote with both devices so you can actually use it like you would a TV.

I'm a little surprised to see Amazon expanding its massive Echo Show devices. There are some easier wins, like announcing a new Echo generation or restocking the popular Echo Dot speaker with clock, especially since the Alexa department is known for having posted massive losses a couple years ago. We've seen Google and Apple move toward making smart displays out of existing devices rather than launching an entirely separate device. But there are rumors of a mountable Apple TV screen, so perhaps a new massive Echo Show isn't so out of the blue. If a TV-like smart display sounds up your alley, here are the most interesting updates promised in Amazon's new devices.
