Equally with most other launch events during the pandemic era, Amazon'south issue will be virtual. Dissimilar Apple events, the Amazon result is invite-simply, only we'll exist covering all the product releases as they're announced. However, Tom's Guide will be live-blogging the event, and so stay tuned for our coverage.

Amazon Upshot: What devices to expect

Amazon hasn't said annihilation in advance nigh what's going to be announced, but await a deluge of devices. However, a leak over the weekend tipped that Amazon could reveal a 15-inch display, likewise equally a smart soundbar and possibly a second-generation Echo Car.

In years past, Amazon has launched virtually a dozen products at once; final year saw the release of the Echo Testify x, which has a rotating brandish; new spherical Echo and Echo Dot, and an Echo Dot Kids Edition. Information technology likewise launched 2 new Burn Telly streaming sticks, two Eero routers, and the Luna game-streaming service.

Amazon also announced the Ring Ever Dwelling, a security drone meant to fly effectually your business firm, but unlike nearly everything else hither, this has notwithstanding to appear.

Beneath is our speculation based on what Amazon has released in earlier years, plus what it's already announced this year.

Burn down tablets

Given that Amazon announced a whole slate of Burn tablets before this spring, don't await much on this front end. They appear to exist on a different update schedule than other Amazon devices.

Fire Boob tube devices

There's a good hazard nosotros could see a new Fire TV stick, or even a replacement for the Burn down Goggle box Cube, which is a few years old at this indicate. Traditionally, Amazon has launched a new streaming stick at its September event.

Amazon Echo speakers

Considering that the Repeat and Echo Dot received a major redesign last twelvemonth, we would look only incremental updates this year, if at all. If anything, we would look to see a more premium smart speaker to replace the Echo Studio, which is 2 years sometime at this betoken.

Echo Show smart displays

In May, Amazon launched the newest Echo Show 8 and Echo Show 5, so if we await anything smart display-related, it volition exist the Echo Show 10, though that was just introduced terminal yr.

Echo Buds and Echo Frames

A new version of the Echo Buds was announced in Apr this year, so these aren't quite due for a refresh nonetheless. The 2nd-generation Repeat Frames came out in late 2020, so these could be teased at the event on the 28th. We too wouldn't rule out some other Solar day 1 production similar the Repeat Loop.

Eero routers

Amazon has released a new Eero mesh router each of the last two years, so in that location could exist an upgrade this year.

Alexa-compatible appliances and devices

In 2019, Amazon released a smart oven and the Echo Glow; the Glow is still for sale (and makes for a neat sleep-grooming clock), while the 4-in-1 microwave is not. Last yr was a tranquillity yr when information technology came to devices such as this — no Alexa-compatible clock, for instance — and then hopefully there will be i or 2 such fun devices this year.

Band devices

While Ring is endemic by Amazon, it tends to release products on its own schedule. The Verge has speculated that we might meet the Ring Machine Cam, though.

Alexa updates

It'south likewise reasonable to presume that we'll see a number of improvements to Amazon's smart banana itself, such as Alexa Guard. Given the relatively recent rollout of Sidewalk, Amazon'due south low-power networking protocol, we also wait to hear more than third-political party devices that will support this feature.

We'll know more on September 28, and will share the news with you every bit before long as we get it.
