If you are a big fan of Amazon products, such as Ring, Echo, Alexa, Fire, Halo, Kindle or any of the many other sub-brands the online retail giant has, today is going to be a big day for you.
At 9am PT / 12pm ET / 5pm BST, which is 2am AEST tomorrow if you’re in Australia, Amazon is hosting its big annual product launch – judging by previous years, we’re likely to see a deluge of new products.
New gadgets in the Echo family of smart home hubs, Ring line of smart cameras, Fire range of TVs and tablets, Halo range of fitness trackers and possibly Kindle reader line may appear. We also often see weirder devices, like the Astro robot or Echo Loop smart ring, and software like Halo membership and the games streaming service Luna.
It’s going to be a smashing event filled with both serious and seriously weird gadgets, and judging from past events, we could see over two hours of new device information.
Amazon could also try to kick start the excitement for ‘Prime Day 2’ as it’s called, a pre-Black Friday sales event that kicks off on October 11. Some of the products we’re about to see may have discounts if they’re launched on time.
Whether you’re only interested in the new speakers or home hubs Amazon offers, or want to see all the bizarre and wacky new gadgets that will be out, we’ve got you covered.
TechRadar will be tracking the launch event and has experts in all different product categories following you to give you a top-notch insight. So in the lead up to, during and after the event you can use this live blog to keep up with everything.
