The latest smart display from Amazon comes with barely there updates and one clear downgrade. But the original Echo Show 5 design is still compelling, Alexa is as helpful as ever and the Kids version genuinely shines.

Lol
Useful video thanks👍
Got one for free during prime sales, they must be data mining to make it worth it.
Why are we talking about the 8 🙄
Can you connect blink doorbell camera to this device?
Lmao we get it! u like the aux port. Good review other than that. I personality don’t think it needed more than one mention.
35 on Amazon or best buy
Just updated echo with echo show 5. I got it just today for 35.00 at target sale . I got it just to upgrade 🤷🏻♂️
It doesn’t have AUX input !!!
Can we play youtube videos by comand on it..
Can we connect this device by android 4.4 version
super excellent video. this is currently cheaper than the clock dot.…hmmm
Thanks for the great review. I saw it on a one day sale at Amazon a couple of days ago for only $29.95, cheaper than a Dot, so I ordered it. I have 5 Dots and an Echo now, so it’ll add some tech variety to my home.
People keep complaining about the aux port but no one says what exactly they need it for.
Are you plugging it into ANOTHER speaker? How loud do you need your music? And why not just use Bluetooth??
I got mine for free ❤
It is looking really! I would like to have this Mediatek-powered Echo show 5.
business matter as usual„, they upgrade gradually so better think twice
Great video! Personally it’s wild to me that ppl buy amazons shitty tech
Amazon is currently selling this product for only $10

Seriously? A product review without any functionality demonstration?
This video is obvious it’s to downgrade or upgrade nothing more or less simple Dinette screen difference yeah I seen it on Amazon any dummy could see that
I pick show 5 at best buy for under 35 bucks
I got this thing for $10 😂 I was buying the Ring door bell which was already on sale for $59 and It said I can bundle it with the Echo 5 2nd gen for just another $10. So I definitely did. I got no complaints.
Just picked one of these up for $35 to go with the Ring doorbell I ordered. The 8 is double the cost right now and I’m on a budget so this works as a screen to see the doorbell footage with in the kitchen
So what’s it for?… Watching netlifx? sounds terrible
When on camera…heres how this video runs.
Run on sentence — jumpcut — broll.
Rinse and repeat
I recently purchased the echo show 5 2nd generation, I had the first generation so know about setting it up. This is a black unit the screen instead on showing pictures including my photos it dose not I also have a show 8 which is great does everything. I thought being 2nd generation it would be better I have been I to settings so instead of pictures I have a black screen with time only
I got a stand for mine off eBay and I love being able to adjust my viewing angle!
Never seen someone upset for a auxiliary connection. Lol
$35 at Home Depot in Okemos (near Lansing) Michigan now 20-Dec-2022. Does anyone know where the microphone input is on this Echo Show 5? I have to yell at it to wake it up. Thanks.
I don’t know who makes these Echo/Alexa devices, but you should look into making an App. that can be used on a PC. My 32″ 4K PC monitor screen is way better than the Echo Show 5, so with an App from ?Amazon? that I could put on my PC to make my PC work as an Alexa, that would be great.
I mainly want to gift this as a Photo Frame that can scroll through different photos of my son and I for my father.…
Gonna be honest it being able to make calls and being a speaker is just a plus
Bad review and shirt…no swag my man 😂
It’s purely a night table unit. What do you expect for $36 — $40. You’re far from a Pro. By the way, Trim your beard yuppie
I finally broke down and purchased my first two Echo devices. I caught Amzon selling the Echo Show 8 with a free Echo Show Kids 5 with my OTD total of $62. I’m replacing all my wall switches with smart switches and already have Eufy security cameras, so I’m finally starting my smart home.
1:32 — This man has too much money and not enough respect for money or his belongings if he treats his phone like that. It’s just arrogant with the state of the world. He’s a reviewer and gets free phones every other week… but it’s still not a good look.
Got 5 of them for 28.99 each 😹
I saw some people commenting that you can use a type‑c to 3.5mm adapter.
Ah, 85 bucks. That’s funny. I got one for 10 from Best Buy 💀
Bro cool alarm clock
The joke at the end of the video 😂 that caught me off guard
NOT the best review on the Echo Show 5… as a NEW purchaser I found you hardly covered the device re its functions let alone illustrate the moan you had re the upgrade DOWNGRADED port et… overall 2/10
It would be amazing if they have adjustable angles for our comfort
Love my show 5, it just broke so I’ve bought another, I love to mount them flush against my wall to control things in my bedroom like my blinds.
The show 5 was my first show purchase and I placed it in the living room and I decided after a couple of days that it was too small for the living room so I placed it in my bedroom and purchased a show 8 for the living room. The show 5 is perfect for the bedroom as a clock and it does have other useful features that can utilized. I love toys so I purchased a Google Nest Hub 2gen and because of its size placed it in the bedroom too. I also purchased a Echo Show 10 for the living room.
