Amazon Echo Show 5 Review | Trusted Reviews

A smaller, cheaper Alexa-powered smart display

Excellent price ; Powerful speakers for the size ; New dashboard and smart home controls

Amazon Echo Show 5 review

Does shrinking the camera-packing Show make it a more tempting proposition?

Sub-£100 price tag ; Plays video ; Surprisingly loud ; Works brilliantly as an alarm clock ; Visual element improves many Alexa skills

Resolution isn’t great ; Won’t do your music library justice ; Alexa can be temperamental

Aa great alarm clock and a feature-packed smart display that’s already a bargain

Amazon Echo Show 5 review: Not just a smart alarm clock

Amazon's entry-level Echo Show 5 is a great smart display with an aggressively low price. Place it on your bedside, but don't call it a smart alarm clock.

“Amazon’s Echo Show 5 is so much more than a smart alarm clock.”

Amazon Echo Show 5 review: The most confusing product thus far in the Echo lineup

It's difficult to put a finger on the kind of buyer interested in this category of Echo Show. It is a jack of all trades but master of none.

Amazon Echo Show 5 Review

This budget smart display has a bit of an identity crisis.

The Echo Show 5 is a competent device. But Amazon needs to figure out what it is.

Amazon Echo Show 5 Review: Show And Tell
