Days after launching the Echo Look with a built-in camera, a report has surfaced that says that Amazon may have another Echo device with a new feature in the works.
Amazon is reportedly working on a new Echo device with a built-in screen. The device is codenamed “Knight”, says a report from CNET, and it could be revealed as soon as May.
The details of this Knight device haven’t yet been revealed, and a source couldn’t confirm whether or not its screen is a touchscreen.
An Amazon Echo device with a built-in display makes sense. While using your voice to issue commands to a tube is convenient, having a display can make things go much faster since it can display several different options to you at once. And while the source of today’s report couldn’t confirm that the Knight has a touchscreen, it’d be pretty shocking if the display didn’t support touch given that the vast majority of smartphones today have touch displays.
