Amazon has unveiled a wide range of new smart home devices, including two new versions of its flagship Echo smart speaker.

During a hectic event at the company headquarters in Seattle, five new versions of the Echo were announced as well as a new version of the Fire TV streaming box.

Here is a breakdown of all the new devices:

That is down to a new dedicated woofer and tweeter as well as improvements to the far-field voice recognition software inside the speaker.

The Echo now also comes in six different finishes, including a wood veneer for the first time.

The same design as original, tall Amazon Echo, the Plus discovers items such as smart lightbulbs and other devices, and quickly adds them to a user’s smart home group.

Amazon confirmed it will ship the Echo Plus with a Philips Hue smart lightbulb in order to help customers begin the creation of their smart home.

Amazon’s Dave Limp spoke of the Buttons helping to revitalise family games night when used for trivia games, adding a new dimension to Alexa’s existing list of fun group quizzes.

It also has HDR and 4K support built in too, meaning higher quality images, a wider range of colours and an all-round better viewing experience as a result.

It still comes with the Voice Remote, so you can fire up Alexa to help find shows you want to watch as well.
