Amazon Echo Show 5 (3rd Gen): Subtle Refinements Overshadowed by Price Hike

Amazon Echo Show 5 (3rd Gen): Subtle Refinements Overshadowed by Price Hike
Performance: The 3rd gen Echo Show 5 is notably swifter and more responsive, owing to updated hardware and a faster processor. This results in smoother interactions and quicker responses to commands.Camera and Monitoring: A welcome new feature is the ability to activate the camera via the Alexa app for one-way home monitoring, in addition to the "drop-in" feature for two-way communication. This adds an extra layer of convenience and security.Display: The glass display is a considerable improvement, offering crisp and sharp graphics, markedly enhancing the viewing experience over the 1st gen's display.Audio: Whilst the audio is reputedly enhanced, I personally didn't notice a substantial difference. It suffices for my needs, particularly when used in tandem with an Echo Dot for a stereo effect in the room.Design: The design is sleeker and more compact, concentrating on essential functionalities by removing redundant ports and retaining just the power. This results in a cleaner and more streamlined device.Setup: I encountered some issues during the initial setup, particularly when trying to manually connect to my Amazon account. I had to restart and bypass several steps, which was somewhat frustrating. This could be an area for improvement in future software updates.Longevity: With the 3rd gen being the latest model, I anticipate longer support in terms of software updates, giving it an advantage over the now older 1st gen.Value for Money: Whilst the 3rd gen Echo Show 5 introduces some pleasant upgrades, the value proposition as a replacement for a faulty 1st gen is less convincing, especially considering the cost involved in trading in the old device and acquiring the new one. As a standalone purchase, the price might be more defensible, but as an upgrade, it's a tougher sell.Trade-In Experience: The trade-in process was straightforward, though nothing out of the ordinary. Utilising the packaging from the new device for the return was convenient, but a more streamlined or incentivised trade-in programme would have been appreciated.Conclusion: The 3rd gen Echo Show 5 is a modest upgrade from the 1st gen, featuring faster performance, an improved display, and additional features like home monitoring. However, the upgrade is less compelling when considering the cost, particularly as a replacement for a previous model. If you're in the market for a new smart display and don't already own an earlier model, the 3rd gen might be worth considering. For those looking to upgrade from the 1st gen, it's wise to weigh the benefits against the significant price increase.

 To put it out there - I am a huge Alexa lover already. But I really love this. It’s nice and light, I’ve got it set up in the kitchen at the moment. She hears me from any room downstairs, and always greets me by name and recognises my voice. Was super easy to set up, I had musics playing within 10 minutes of opening. Sound quality is fantastic, video quality is fantastic. It’s a touch screen or you can give her commands to open. Had no issues with performance it’s worked like a dream. I set an alarm everyday for cooking times-I like that I can see how long is left on the screen rather than just waiting for the sound. Not a bad word to say about this little product, I really would recommend

5.0 out of 5 stars A Smart Display Marvel with Clearer Sound
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 21 January 2024
Colour Name: CharcoalConfiguration: Device OnlyVerified Purchase
Amazon has hit the mark with this latest iteration. Having bought two in the past, we are more than happy with the enhanced features and performance of this smart display and alarm clock.

The first standout improvement is the clearer sound quality. The audio on the Echo Show 5 (3rd Gen) is noticeably crisper and richer compared to its predecessors. Whether playing music, watching videos, or making video calls, the upgraded sound quality adds a new dimension to the overall user experience. It's a small device that packs a powerful audio punch.

The compact design remains a favorite feature, seamlessly fitting into various spaces in our home. The 5.5-inch display provides a perfect balance between visibility and conserving counter or bedside table space. The versatility of the Echo Show 5 allows it to function not only as a smart display but also as an effective alarm clock, providing valuable information at a glance.

The smart home integration continues to impress. Controlling smart devices with voice commands via Alexa is as smooth as ever, creating a streamlined and connected home environment. The Echo Show 5 serves as a central hub for managing our smart home ecosystem, enhancing both convenience and efficiency.

Video calls are a breeze with the Echo Show 5's front-facing camera. The upgraded camera quality ensures clear and sharp video, making virtual conversations more enjoyable. The ability to drop in on other Echo devices or compatible smart cameras adds an extra layer of connectivity.

Setting up the Echo Show 5 is as straightforward as it gets, and the intuitive interface makes navigation a breeze. Whether checking the weather, following a recipe, or catching up on the latest news, the display is responsive and easy to use.

In conclusion, the Echo Show 5 (3rd Gen) is a commendable upgrade, delivering clearer sound and maintaining the versatility that has made its predecessors so popular in our household. If you're looking for a compact smart display and alarm clock that seamlessly integrates into your daily life, the Echo Show 5 (3rd Gen) is a top-tier choice.

3.0 out of 5 stars Decent Functionality, But Overall Mediocre Experience
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 2 February 2024
Colour Name: CharcoalConfiguration: Device OnlyVerified Purchase
Having looked at other alternatives for a clock that can tell me the weather and have some smart home functionality the Echo Show 5 isn't a bad choice however, for the price I was quite disappointingly surprised.

I managed to get the device in the sale at £45 making it somewhat worth while however, at its full price of £89.99 I would look at other alternatives such as Googles Nest Hub for a better overall experience.

The setup was quite straight forward and only took about 3 - 5 minutes in total and the customisation options provided are quite a nice touch as it makes the device more personal.

The overall build quality of the product feels quite in line with the price and is quite robust and sturdy when in use. The cable seems well insulated and the speakers are fairly clear with substantial bass for the size of the product.

However, the reponsiveness of the touchscreen is poor and feels like what original touchscreens felt like back in 2012 with a second or so delay, sometimes the screen finds it hard to register touch input and when altering the settings it can freeze up or go a bit haywire.

Another point in which disapointed me the most is the amount of spam Amazon pushes through its devices, where it cycles through random services and info not relevant to you or your account. You have to disable them in the settings which is quite nice but I would like to see these off as default, I have also found out that with some updates they add aditional service promotions which are automatically enabled.

Moving on to the camera, the image quality seems pretty poor with washed out grainy feed at what seems to run at a very low fps making the camera pointless in my opinion. When it comes to the mics they seems to be very well placed providing exceptional coverage for the device to pickup your voice when asking a question or function which I really liked.

The physical slider for the camera, and physical button to disable mic gives me some piece of mind and are a great feature if it does what Amazon says it does. The light on the mic button and the red bar at the bootom of the display make for good indication however, I think a small red symbol in the corner of the screen would be sufficient as I think the red line kind of ruins the aesthetic and could cause burn in or dead pixels after long use.

Overall if you want a mediocre smart home device for £90 then feel free in getting it but I would not recommend at its current price point, if the device goes on sale again then £45 I think is the sweet spot and makes the device worth while.
