On its website, Amazon said: 'Echo Show brings you everything you love about Alexa, and now she can show you things.
Watch video flash briefings and YouTube, see music lyrics, security cameras, photos, weather forecasts, to-do and shopping lists, and more.
All hands-free - just ask.
The device weighs 2.6 pounds (1.1 kilograms), which suggests it won't be seen as a mobile phone replacement.
The new device is the fourth*Echo-branded product, and comes three years after the first Amazon Echo launched in 2014.
But it is the first Echo product to feature a touchscreen - a feature that could have a range of uses, including as a baby monitor, or to make video calls.
Other new features include eight microphones alongside beam-forming technology and noise cancellation, which Amazon says will let the device hear you from any direction, even if music is playing.
