Amazon has launched the Echo Show 5, a smaller
version of the Echo Show at a much lower price. The Echo Shot 5 has a 5.5-inch,
960x480 resolution display. The widescreen aspect ratio is ideal for watching
Amazon Prime Video content, as well as content from other service providers. On
the back is a single 4W speaker.
The Echo Show 5 also has a 1MP camera on the front
for video calling other Amazon Echo users. The camera has a shutter that
physically blocks the camera when it's not in use.
Apart from that, it's exactly the same as any other
Amazon Echo device. You can use voice to access your services as well as smart
home devices around your house. There is no smart hub in this model, so you
will need a separate hub for all the smart home devices.
The Echo Show 5 is priced at US$ 89.99 and available in
two colors, Charcoal and Sandstone.
