The Amazon Echo Show line of smart displays take all the ingenuity of an Alexa speaker and combine it with a screen, letting you watch videos, video call friends and family, and follow recipes – and now, the Echo Show 5 and Echo Show 8 have hit their lowest-ever prices in the UK with these Prime Day deals.

Usually £79.99, the Echo Show 5 has plummeted to just £39.99 – the lowest price we've ever seen. It had previously been reduced to £49.99, and now Amazon Prime members can get an additional £10 off. (Not in the UK? Scroll down for the best Echo Show deals in your region.)

Meanwhile, the Echo Show 8 has been reduced from £119.99 to £59.99, which is a huge saving of £60. Again, you'll need to be an Amazon Prime member to take advantage of this particular deal.

The Echo Show 8 previously dropped to this super low price last year, and it's still a fantastic saving in 2020 – and if you want to get your hands on it, we'd recommend acting fast, as these Prime Day deals could sell out quickly, with the sale due to end at midnight tonight.

Not sure which smart speaker is right for you? The main difference between the Echo Show 5 and the Echo Show 8 is their size; the former boasts a 5.5-inch display, while the former comes with an 8-inch display.

Both smart displays offer not only a handy screen to accompany your Alexa smart assistant, but almost ingenious integration with WikiHow that brings a bevy of useful how-to videos to the smart display. 

Whether you're just starting to kit out your smart home, or you're looking for more ways to introduce Alexa to each room – and both Echo Show models are ideal for the kitchen if you want to follow recipes – these deals mean that you can pick up the Amazon smart displays for cheaper than ever before. 

It's little wonder that Amazon has slashed the price of the Echo Show 5 and 8 this Prime Day – after all, it's just launched the new Amazon Echo Show 10 (2020), which comes with Netflix support and an upgraded design.
