HappenedBlack Friday 2025
Under a tenth off, weeks after launch.
ForecastBlack Friday 2026
Likely a moderate drop
- Last year it was brand new; the three-year-old Show 5 fell five times as far
- Still Amazon's latest large Echo screen, with no successor
Should you wait for Black Friday?
Probably, yes. Last year's cut was tiny because the Show 11 had just launched. Expect more this time, though not the near half-price deals the older Echos got.
The cheaper picks: what they really did
The percentages are real Black Friday 2025 cuts, as reported that week. The right column is our 2026 forecast.
Amazon Echo Show 5 (3rd gen)
Out since 2023
−44%Likely a big drop
A far smaller screen for calls and clocks. Fell hard last year.
Amazon Echo Spot (2024)
Out since 2024
−44%Likely a big drop
Bedside clock with a tiny screen and no camera.
What this means: Older Echos fell by nearly half; the new Show 11 hardly moved. Buy it for the big Full HD screen, not for the deal.
Questions people ask
How big was the Echo Show 11's Black Friday discount in the UK?
Small: about 9% off its usual price, still listed on 2 December 2025. It had been in shops for only a few weeks.
What does the Echo Show 11 add over the Echo Show 8?
Mainly the screen. One UK review finds its Full HD display is the big step up, while speakers and chip are shared with the Show 8.
Is the Echo Show 11 a good kitchen screen?
Its 11-inch screen suits recipes and video. One review notes there's no physical camera cover this time, which matters if privacy in the kitchen bothers you.
