Pros & Cons
Pros
Rd gen echo show 8 has the best sound quality of all the show models imo, (i also have 3 show 15's) new operating system and processor. Upgrade from show 5; huge difference. Price is higher currently for this device than 2nd gen bye a bit.
Alexa devices are very affordable and typically come in at a noticeable lower price than competitors. The sound, available apps (would like an xfinity stream app though), screen responsiveness, etc.
It is packaged very well and showed up on time. The glacier white edition was a very easy setup other than turning of all the amazon add ons. Fast delivery.
The audio quality is excellent and the screen is quite crisp. Better treble and base when listening to music. Great for video calls to family, also sounds great when playing music. I have it paired up with a echo sub and the music sounds so good!
Cons
The hub and smart home functions are hard to configure and sometimes lose lock. Sound quality is worse than an echo dot.

Very pleased with the new features offered on the newer version, like being able to check in on the house with the camera.
Way too small, buggy, bad camera quality and sound quality.
You may also be turned off with the constant amazon notifications and recommendations.
Price
The price is higher currently for this device than 2nd gen bye a bit .
But i'm sure with time it will lower but for the product i received i'm not upset with the price currently.
Competitiveness
In addition, echo devices are very affordable and typically come in at a noticeable lower price than competitors.
I upgraded both of my first and second gen show 8's to the new 3rd gen model.
Went from 1st gen show 8 to a 3rd gen.
The ui looks different than previous models.

I just use photo display from amazon photos and calendar functions

I can only assume they have not setup the home content section properly
