Other than that the Echo show is painfully slow to react and this is simply not good enough for anyone who owns a modern mobile phone or tablet. Its a shame as it has potential. On the positive - sound and screen quality are good.
So realistically it's pretty much the same great device it use to be with some minor modifications. It's a little bit more expensive but that's just the way marketing works to drive you onto the new device and it still works just aswell in terms of voice activation.
I love the device, I love the ease of use, how well it works and the thousands of different skills you can enable to maximise your use of your smart home device. The Show 5 has a nice compact size, has a screen if you want to view video recipes, can set timers, can give you definitions or synonyms, can answer most questions, can play movies, can show you who is at your door, can show you your CCTV and can order your shopping if you want.
The possibilities are endless and the device is really impressive. The volume capabilities are decent for the size of it and overall I'm very happy with the value for money. Sure there's not huge improvements on the 1st Gen device, but then the 1st Gen is a perfectly good smart home system that in my opinion didn't really need improved.
Conclusion the same great device with some minor tweaks. Don't rush out to replace your existing Show 5 like I did though or you'll be disappointed.


unfortunately i have yet to figure out how to get the camera screen to activate on its own when the door bell rings.
The screen is nice and clear and if i wanted to i could use the built in camera to check in from my phone using the echo camera. But i do have security cameras already set up, good for back up if one goes down.
The speaker is brilliant and size , design is compact and light enough.
Over all it is great buy!
Normal Alexa functions.
Might just be me but photos are not full screen but centred in the middle of the screen.
Powerful speaker.
I was amazed at the great sound quality from it ; from listening ( and of course singing along ! 😁)
to favourite playlists , having a chuckle to Alexa’s list of jokes , learning interesting facts , and keeping up with local weather and other news amongst just some of the things she can do .
Would certainly recommend it to anyone , and would be ideal for people that live on their own , as another form of company in the house.
