Amazon Echo With Touchscreen Revealed, In Leaked Images

The leak images come from AFTVnews and Evleaks, who has a particularly good record of leaking upcoming products. Codenamed Knight, it is expected later this month and will be the company’s flagship Alexa device.

The device has a slant that angles upwards so that the assumed 7 inch touchscreen will be visible when looking down from above. From the leaked image the interface shows the time in the top left corner with calendar events beneath. The backdrop is of clouds assuming users will be able to customize wallpapers.

Below the display there is a pretty large speaker grill. Similar to the recently announced Echo Look, there also appears to be a camera above the display in the center.

Google Is Reportedly Working On An Amazon Echo Competitor

Nest revealed that it would soon work with Amazon’s Echo speaker last month and a report from Re/code said that the Nest division while it would surely love to was not currently working on a competing product. 

Rumored details are just that at the moment, but it wouldn’t be a stretch of the imagination to think that maybe the Google OnHub team is working on a future product. 

Tony Fadell went on record saying the Google OnHub was a “collaborative effort between the two companies” ultimately using Nest’s Thread technology. The Google OnHub featured some of the same functionality that another Nest product a yet to be announced wireless hub codenamed Flintstone was supposed to provide.
