Amazon Show 5 Smart display with enhanced sound: 5.5” display for visuals
Meet the Amazon Echo Show 5—your new favorite gadget that’s not just smart, but also knows how to party. With 2x the bass and sound so clear it’ll make your ears happy, this little powerhouse turns your kitchen or bedroom into a mini entertainment hub. And that 5.5” display? Perfect for binge-watching your favorite shows or pretending you’re in a music video.
Oh, and it’s not just about looking good. This thing’s got brains too. You can stream tunes from Amazon Music or Spotify (no judgment if you’re still on team Spotify), catch up on Prime Video, or even boss around your smart home gadgets like some kind of tech wizard. Plus, there’s a built-in camera for those ‘just checking in’ moments (because who doesn’t love a surprise appearance from their pet?). When it’s not busy, it doubles as a digital photo frame—because your vacation pics deserve more than just Instagram.
And because we know you’re paranoid (rightfully so), it comes with a mic/camera off button and a camera shutter. Plus, it’s made from 100% recycled stuff, so you can feel good about saving the planet while spying on your dog. Win-win.

As a healthcare worker with a busy schedule, I picked this up from the store for convenience, and it's been in my kitchen for a couple of months now. It's super handy for controlling my smart home gadgets and streaming music while I'm cooking or relaxing. I've used it to check in on things with the camera, but it's not my go-to for serious use. A tip: if you're into cycling or scooters like me, it's decent for playing tunes in the background, but don't expect it to replace a proper sound system. The photo frame mode is a nice touch for displaying memories, but overall, it's a mixed bag—good for basics but falls short on some promises. For the money, it's fine, but not amazing.
- Pros: The sound is surprisingly full and rich for its size, making music and videos enjoyable without needing extra speakers. The screen is crisp and bright, perfect for quick glances or watching shows in a small space. I appreciate the privacy features, like being able to physically turn off the microphone and camera, which gives peace of mind. It's made from recycled materials, so it feels good to use something eco-friendly.
- Cons: The bass boost is a bit overhyped—it doesn't deliver the punch I expected, and at higher volumes, it can get distorted. The camera quality is just okay, not great for video calls, and the overall build feels a bit plasticky. For the money, I'd hoped for better integration with non-Amazon services; it seems to push their ecosystem a bit too hard. The display is small, so it's not ideal for group viewing or detailed tasks.
