Amazon Launches Redesigned 'Echo Show 5' Smart Display [Video]

Amazon has announced the launch of a redesigned 'Echo Show 5' smart display, as well as, a new 'Echo Show 5 Kids'.

Echo Show 5 combines the utility of Alexa, with the convenience of a compact screen so customers can watch news clips, check their Ring doorbell camera, view shopping lists, or easily make video calls to friends and family. The new Echo Show 5 is 20 percent faster than the previous generation, and features an entirely new speaker system, doubling the bass and delivering even clearer sound when listening to music, Audible, video content, or a podcast. It comes with a completely reengineered microphone array and the AZ2 Neural Edge processor. Echo Show 5 and Echo Pop both support Matter, making it easy to connect and control compatible smart home products across various brands.




Features:
● ALEXA CAN SHOW YOU MORE – Set alarms and timers, sleep soundly with a relaxing playlist, start your morning with a smart home routine, see your calendar or weather clearly - all with your voice.
● SMALL SIZE, BIGGER SOUND – Stream your favorite music, shows, podcasts, and more from providers like Amazon Music, Spotify, and Prime Video—now with deeper bass and clearer vocals. Includes a 5.5" display so you can view shows, song titles, and more at a glance.
● KEEP YOUR HOME COMFORTABLE – Control compatible smart devices like lights and thermostats, even while you're away.
● SEE MORE WITH THE BUILT-IN CAMERA – Check in on your family, pets, and more using the built-in camera. Drop in on your home when you're out or view the front door from your Echo Show 5 with compatible video doorbells.
● SEE YOUR PHOTOS ON DISPLAY – When not in use, set the background to a rotating slideshow of your favorite photos. Prime members also get unlimited cloud photo storage.
● STAY CONNECTED WITH VIDEO CALLING – Use the 2 MP camera to call friends and family who have the Alexa app or an Echo device with a screen. Make announcements to other compatible devices in your home.
● DESIGNED TO PROTECT YOUR PRIVACY – Amazon is not in the business of selling your personal information to others. Built with multiple layers of privacy controls including a mic/camera off button and a built-in camera shutter.
● DESIGNED FOR SUSTAINABILITY – This device's fabric is made from 100% post-consumer recycled polyester yarn and aluminum is made from 100% recycled aluminum. The device packaging is 100% recyclable.




Amazon has also created a new kids version of the Echo Show 5 that costs an additional $10.

Echo Show 5 Kids is designed from the ground up for kids, with kid-friendly responses, jokes, homework help, explicit lyric filtering, and more—in a new colorful space-themed design.

Echo Show 5 Kids comes with a two-year worry-free guarantee and includes one year of Amazon Kids+, the only kid-focused subscription with thousands of ad-free and age-appropriate audiobooks, videos, games, and Alexa skills. Kids can also co-create a visual story using Create with Alexa, featuring two brand new themes: Dinosaurs and Jazzy Jungle.
