What to expect at Amazon’s devices event on February 26

Amazon will hold an event on February 26th showcasing new hardware and the next-generation Alexa. Amazon's hardware chief, Panos Panay, will be present, indicating a focus on new gadgets. Invites hint at the launch of the long-anticipated Alexa upgrade, which has faced delays. The AI-infused refresh aims to process nuance and ambiguity like a human and complete complex requests. The new Alexa may be accompanied by dedicated hardware, potentially including updates to the Echo line and Echo Buds earbuds. Despite recent Kindle releases, it's unlikely that e-readers will be featured. Fire tablets and similar devices may not align with the Alexa-centric theme of the event.
