Amazon has just released another Alexa-enabled home smart device – The Echo Show 5. Itās the third generation of its smart countertop display with a 5.5-inch diagonal display.
It has built-in far-field microphones for summoning Alexa and a 960 by 480 resolution display that shows recipes, song playlists, snippets of news, and Alexa āskillsā or apps. The Echo Show 5 doesnāt support YouTube like the other Echo Shows. Amazonās recently resolved spat with the media giant only impacted Fire TV devices and didnāt extend to Echo Show.
The new Echo Show 5 looks relatively identical to the more prominent 10-inch model. The visible difference is in the screen size. An HD camera complements the HD resolution display for Skype video calls. A built-in camera shutter will allow users to cover the camera when not in use easily.
Another added feature of the Echo Show 5 is what Amazon calls the āAlexa Sunriseā alarm. This feature will essentially brighten the display and show a sunrise animation before your alarm goes off. The feature will also be extended to the Echo Show.
