The 2nd Gen Echo Show 5 is a great bedside smart device. It’s compact, it has a camera for making video calls, and it can be used to control your lights and other smart home devices. It’s also a great alternative to a Fire tablet for kids.
Right now you can buy this excellent smart display at a fraction of its cost – the Echo Show 5 (2nd Gen) is just $44 on Amazon. This is its lowest price ever and one of the best Amazon deals we’ve seen this month, so there’s no better time to buy than now.
The Echo Show 5 faces stiff competition considering all the other smart speakers Amazon has to offer. But as we noted in our Echo Show 5 (2nd Gen) review, there are plenty of features that keep it going.
This smart display has a 5.5-inch, 960 x 480 display and a 2MP camera. This makes it a great bedside device – it’s a great alarm clock and you can use the camera to video call loved ones before bed. Plus, the 4-watt speaker makes it ideal for listening to ambient sounds before falling asleep or listening to the morning news.
The Echo Show 5 is available in three colors: Charcoal, Glacier White and Deep Sea Blue. This range means it will fit well in any room. If you decide to spend an extra $10 on the Children’s Edition, you can even get it at Chameleon Green.
We think it’s one of January’s best sellers right now – but if you’re not sure, check out our list of best alexa speakers to find your perfect voice assistant.
