To listen through the speaker instead of connecting it to a Wi-Fi network, go to Settings > Device Options > Audio Options > Speaker Mode > Speaker Only (no Wi-Fi).

The second-gen Show 8 uses the newer, faster MediaTek MT8183 processor, compared to the MediaTek MT8163 chip found in the original Echo Show 8. This means the smart display should be smoother when swiping through settings or using Alexa, however in real life it’s unlikely you will notice the tiny difference.
The Echo Show 8 does have a 13MP camera with a built-in shutter button for privacy (the same goes for the four microphones), plus two-inch speakers.
No, you can’t FaceTime on an Echo Show. FaceTime is Apple’s proprietary video chat app which only runs on Apple devices. Echo Show devices can only place video calls to other Echo Show devices and the Alexa phone app, and only Apple devices can FaceTime.
The negative change comes with the removal of the 3.5mm audio jack, which would have previously allowed you to connect your Echo Show to a different (presumably stronger) set of speakers. You can still connect to an external speaker via Bluetooth, but this is undeniably a downgrade.
Yes, Alexa can answer phone calls from callers who have a compatible Echo device or Alexa Calling on the app. However, Alexa cannot answer calls from mobile or landline numbers.
