Amazon's new smart display, the second-generation, is now reviewed
The Echo Show, Amazon's second-generation smart display, is similar to the first generation of the device, but is much more versatile. The original Echo Show was focused on video chat. But the second generation includes additional features like home automation and video surveillance. It can also function as a digital photo frame, and supports Alexa skill.
The original Echo Show's touchscreen was 10.1 inches. However, the second-generation Echo Show features a 10-inch touchscreen. This display is still crisp but has a significantly lower resolution than the 10.1-inch model. The display is not recommended long-term.
The Echo Show 8 smart display is solid and mid-range. It is a great value for money, has excellent audio quality, large displays, and is affordable. It also has a higher-resolution webcam and a faster processor. You can get it in black or white, like the previous version. Overall, the model is identical to last year's version, but there are a few cosmetic improvements.
Price
Amazon Echo Show, a smart display that is easy to use, is a great option. The first-generation model comes with an 8 inch HD touchscreen, a camera and microphone. It also comes with a physical privacy shutter. The usual price is $130. But Amazon dropped the price to $55 on Prime Day. It is great for streaming movies and watching TV shows on the smart display.
You can use Echo Show 10 for video chats. It supports group video calls of up to seven participants, and you can view video calls on any other device via the Alexa App. Drop In allows you to make phone calls directly from your smart display. It can trigger other smart home gadgets when someone enters or exits a room. Amazon's most pricey smart display, the Show 10, and its most affordable Echo Show 8 are both available.
Echo Show 8 has a 13-megapixel camera. This is a great feature to use for video calls. It also has a screen that's perfect for watching videos and reading the news. The speaker can also play music from Alexa.
