Amazon will reportedly launch a new version of its Echo speaker that features a seven-inch touchscreen and the ability to make Internet-based telephone calls.

The new device, dubbed the Amazon Echo Show, will be powered by Amazon's AI assistant Alexa, and-in addition to making phone calls and video calls-will also allow display shopping results from voice services.

While Amazon is yet to officially unveil the Echo Show, a report from the Wall Street Journal indicates that it could launch later on Tuesday. Anonymous sources have indicated to the WSJ that the Echo Show is expected to cost more than $200/200. The current Echo is priced at $150/150, with the smaller Echo Dot-which ditches the large speaker for a 3.5mm audio jack-costs $50/50.
