   Launch

   Alexa+ now runs on five new redesigned Echo devices, including Echo Studio with Home Camera, with more natural conversations and multi-step request handling.

   What this means for you: Alexa+ now runs on five redesigned Echo devices. You can talk to it more naturally and give it requests with several steps in them. The lineup includes Echo Studio with Home Camera, Echo Time for the nightstand, Alexa Photo Frame, Echo Show 16 and a reimagined Echo Dot.

   Why it matters: It follows the Oct 8 launch of Alexa+ on three Alexa Tablets, Amazon's first tablets, so Alexa+ now reaches a wider set of devices.

   How to use it: The five devices are Echo Studio with Home Camera, Echo Time, Alexa Photo Frame, Echo Show 16 and the new Echo Dot. The Echo Dot has a built-in smart home hub for the first time, plus an eero WiFi extender. Echo Time has a customizable screen and sleep sensing. Echo Show 16 has a 16-inch anti-glare display.

   I'm deciding between the new Echo devices that run Alexa+: Echo Studio with Home Camera, Echo Time, Alexa Photo Frame, Echo Show 16 and the new Echo Dot. Help me choose one for [room or use]. Ask me what I need, then compare the options based on their features and recommend one.
