![]() You're only going to look for a second or two anyway - it's not like the experience would be a lot better in HD.Įven if you don't want to use an Echo Show 5 as a digital photo frame, if nothing else, the 5-inch display offers plenty of room to see the time and weather information it can display - even from across the room. Sure, the photos are small, but it's still really nice to have an always-rotating series of pictures of family and friends on your desk, nightstand or accent table. The only other, similar device that the Echo Show 5 clearly outshines is the even more maligned Lenovo Smart Clock, which relies on Google Assistant and can't even play videos (although, to be fair, who would want to on such a small screen?).Įven if all you use it for is to display the time and weather forecast, the Echo Show 5 is better than having no screen at all. Then, of course, there's the competition - Google's slightly bigger 7-inch Nest Hub, with its dazzling screen and more intuitive smart home controls. ![]() It's not the Show 5's fault - its much bigger sibling, the midsized Echo Show 8, and its even larger kin, the whirly, twirly Echo Show 10, both easily (and justifiably) hog all the Alexa limelight. It's doubtful even the new chameleon-skinned Echo Show Kids ( $95 when not on sale) will be enough to elevate Amazon's 5-inch smart display much beyond an afterthought in the minds of the Alexa faithful. ![]() Of all the various Alexa devices, none seems so misunderstood as the lowly Echo Show 5, which Amazon updated last week with a better camera and another color option - blue ( $85 when not on sale - a $5 decrease from the previous generation it's £75 in the UK and currently unavailable in Australia).
