Clearly, that added a lot of complexity and expense to the product, so the Amazon Echo Show 11 is a standard smart display with a fixed base.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" src=\"https:\/\/www.trustedreviews.com\/wp-content\/plugins\/a3-lazy-load\/assets\/images\/lazy_placeholder.gif\" data-lazy-type=\"image\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.trustedreviews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/7\/2025\/11\/Amazon-Echo-Show-11-front-1024x576.jpg\" alt=\"Amazon Echo Show 11 front\" class=\"lazy lazy-hidden wp-image-4632431\"><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Image Credit (Trusted Reviews)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Here, the base is exactly the same as the one on the\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.trustedreviews.com\/reviews\/amazon-echo-show-8-4th-gen-2025\">Echo Show 8<\/a>\u00a0(4<sup>th<\/sup>\u00a0Gen, 2025).

Using a similarly thin screen as on the 8-inch model, the Echo Show 11 looks great. Its display floats off the base, giving this smart display a sleek, modern look.<\/p>\n<p>There\u2019s no adjustment in the screen. While the fixed angle works in most situations, if you\u2019d like to have screen adjustment, you\u2019ll need to buy the optional stand, which is compatible with both of the new 11-inch and 8-inch Echo Show smart displays.<\/p>\n<p>Around the back of the Amazon Echo Show 11 is the power input, which is the only port that you\u2019ll find on this device. There\u2019s no audio output any more, although that seems fair as this isn\u2019t the kind of device that particularly needs one.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" src=\"https:\/\/www.trustedreviews.com\/wp-content\/plugins\/a3-lazy-load\/assets\/images\/lazy_placeholder.gif\" data-lazy-type=\"image\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.trustedreviews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/7\/2025\/11\/Amazon-Echo-Show-11-rear-with-power-input-1024x576.jpg\" alt=\"Amazon Echo Show 11 rear with power input\" class=\"lazy lazy-hidden wp-image-4632440\"><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Image Credit (Trusted Reviews)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Physical controls are located on the side of the Amazon Echo Show 11.

That includes the AZ3 processor with its integrated AI Accelerator. That chip was designed for Alexa+, the Gen AI upgrade to the smart assistant. Sadly, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.trustedreviews.com\/news\/alexa-plus-finally-launches-in-first-regions-outside-the-us\">Alexa+<\/a> isn\u2019t available in the UK at the time of writing, so it\u2019s hard to tell what difference this makes.<\/p>\n<p>However, for day-to-day use, the chip does make a difference. Even with loud music on, and talking quietly, the Amazon Echo Show 11 responds to the Alexa wake word and picks up what I ask of it.<\/p>\n<p>Otherwise, here, you\u2019re currently limited to using the standard Alexa. In general, that\u2019s not a terrible thing, as I think that Alexa is still the best voice assistant, particularly as it generally understands what you\u2019re asking, and its smart home control is excellent.<\/p>\n<section class=\"block block-mobile-ad block-mobile-ad-single\" style=\"height: 420px\">\n<div class=\"ad-label\" style=\"height: 20px\">\n        Advertisement    <\/div>\n<div class=\"ad-inner\" id=\"ad_mobile-in-article_4\"><\/div>\n<\/section>\n<p>As I\u2019ve pointed out before, Alexa falls down when it has to pull in other information, such as looking up local shops; often, the data is wrong or just very out of date. Alexa+ may improve that, but I\u2019ll have to wait and see.<\/p>\n<p>As with all other Echo Show devices, the screen here is used to show additional information. Although the display is larger with a higher Full HD resolution than on the new Echo Show 8, the space isn\u2019t used for anything. It\u2019s more that the screen is a bit easier to read from further away.<\/p>\n<p>By default, the screen will show a slideshow with a choice of using your photos or ones that Amazon has picked. Additional information can also be shown, such as news headlines and recipe ideas. It\u2019s well worth diving into the settings to turn off the sections that you don\u2019t want to see.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" src=\"https:\/\/www.trustedreviews.com\/wp-content\/plugins\/a3-lazy-load\/assets\/images\/lazy_placeholder.gif\" data-lazy-type=\"image\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.trustedreviews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/7\/2025\/11\/Amazon-Echo-Show-11-home-screen-1024x576.jpg\" alt=\"Amazon Echo Show 11 home screen\" class=\"lazy lazy-hidden wp-image-4632434\"><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Image Credit (Trusted Reviews)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Visual ID is built in, using the camera to detect who\u2019s standing in front of the Amazon Echo Show 11. With this, the device can show personalised information, such as specific calendar information. For multi-user households, it\u2019s a nice touch.<\/p>\n<p>I always think that the Echo Show is the best type of Alexa, combining voice responses with on-screen information. For example, with a weather report, the screen shows the current information and gives screens that you can swipe through to get more information, such as the hourly forecast.<\/p>\n<section class=\"block block-mobile-ad block-mobile-ad-single\" style=\"height: 420px\">\n<div class=\"ad-label\" style=\"height: 20px\">\n        Advertisement    <\/div>\n<div class=\"ad-inner\" id=\"ad_mobile-in-article_5\"><\/div>\n<\/section>\n<p>Or, ask to control a smart thermostat or light, and the onscreen controls let me refine the response, such as adjusting a light\u2019s brightness using the slider control.<\/p>\n<p>Not that you have to use voice for everything. Via the smart home section, I can control my connected devices using just touch, although the control is sometimes a bit finicky. For example, I can adjust the brightness of all the lights in my office in one go, but I can only change the colour or colour temperature of one bulb at a time.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" src=\"https:\/\/www.trustedreviews.com\/wp-content\/plugins\/a3-lazy-load\/assets\/images\/lazy_placeholder.gif\" data-lazy-type=\"image\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.trustedreviews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/7\/2025\/11\/Amazon-Echo-Show-11-smart-home-1024x576.jpg\" alt=\"Amazon Echo Show 11 smart home\" class=\"lazy lazy-hidden wp-image-4632443\"><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Image Credit (Trusted Reviews)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Cameras are also available to live stream to the device.

I\u2019d like the Smart Home widget to be more flexible. Currently, this widget shows only the favourite devices that I add in the Alexa app, but I\u2019d like to be able to choose different devices for each Echo Show that I have, depending on where it\u2019s located.<\/p>\n<section class=\"block block-mobile-ad block-mobile-ad-single\" style=\"height: 420px\">\n<div class=\"ad-label\" style=\"height: 20px\">\n        Advertisement    <\/div>\n<div class=\"ad-inner\" id=\"ad_mobile-in-article_6\"><\/div>\n<\/section>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" src=\"https:\/\/www.trustedreviews.com\/wp-content\/plugins\/a3-lazy-load\/assets\/images\/lazy_placeholder.gif\" data-lazy-type=\"image\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.trustedreviews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/7\/2025\/11\/Amazon-Echo-Show-11-widgets-1024x576.jpg\" alt=\"Amazon Echo Show 11 widgets\" class=\"lazy lazy-hidden wp-image-4632446\"><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Image Credit (Trusted Reviews)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>It\u2019s good to see a full smart home hub inside, with Zigbee and Thread onboard, alongside Matter support.<\/p>\n<p>In addition, Omnisense uses the camera and the device\u2019s sensors to detect when there\u2019s a person in the same room. This works brilliantly, and makes it easy to create powerful Routines that run when people are around (or they leave). And, I found that Omnisense is more reliable than using a traditional motion sensor.<\/p>\n<p>This feature can also be used for Adaptive Content. When you stand far away from the Echo Show 11 it can show the slideshow. Come close, and the Widgets are displayed instead.<\/p>\n<p>There\u2019s also video support, with Netflix and Amazon Prime having their own apps. Disney+ and YouTube are only available via the slightly clunky web browser, which is less than ideal. If you want more choice of video service, than the\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.trustedreviews.com\/reviews\/amazon-echo-show-15-2024\">Echo Show 15<\/a>\u00a0is better, as it runs the full Fire TV experience.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" src=\"https:\/\/www.trustedreviews.com\/wp-content\/plugins\/a3-lazy-load\/assets\/images\/lazy_placeholder.gif\" data-lazy-type=\"image\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.trustedreviews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/7\/2025\/11\/Amazon-Echo-Show-11-video-services-1024x576.jpg\" alt=\"Amazon Echo Show 11 video services\" class=\"lazy lazy-hidden wp-image-4632445\"><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Image Credit (Trusted Reviews)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<section class=\"block block-mobile-ad block-mobile-ad-single\" style=\"height: 420px\">\n<div class=\"ad-label\" style=\"height: 20px\">\n        Advertisement    <\/div>\n<div class=\"ad-inner\" id=\"ad_mobile-in-article_7\"><\/div>\n<\/section>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-sound-and-video-quality\">Sound and video quality<\/h2>\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Deep bass<\/li>\n<li>Stereo sound<\/li>\n<li>Bright picture<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>With the same physical base as the new Echo Show 8, the Echo Show 11 has exactly the same audio performance, using a 2.8-inch woofer and dual full-range drivers. It\u2019s a decent set up, although the slightly larger Echo Show 10 is marginally better in my opinion.<\/p>\n<p>Still, that said, for most cases, the Amazon Echo Show 11 does well. It\u2019s powerful enough to handle bass well at volumes up to about 75%, although beyond that and the speaker tends to distort a little.<\/p>\n<p>Throwing the bass-heavy This Too Shall Pass, from OK Go, at it, and the drums do thump out with some power to them.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Stereo separation isn\u2019t perfect, as the two drivers aren\u2019t that far apart, but they can handle stereo tracks properly, managing to get a sense of movement out of the opening guitar riff from Foo Fighters\u2019 Enough Space.<\/p>\n<p>Effectively, you\u2019ll get decent audio for music out of this, but there\u2019s no upgrade over the Echo Show 8, which has an identical sound system.<\/p>\n<section class=\"block block-mobile-ad block-mobile-ad-single\" style=\"height: 420px\">\n<div class=\"ad-label\" style=\"height: 20px\">\n        Advertisement    <\/div>\n<div class=\"ad-inner\" id=\"ad_mobile-in-article_8\"><\/div>\n<\/section>\n<p>Video is a different matter, as here the screen\u2019s not only larger, it has a higher 1080p resolution.

Image brightness and uniformity is good, and blacks OK, although a touch on the grey side.<\/p>\n<p>As with the smaller Echo Show 8, audio quality is good for films and TVs.
