Amazon Show 5 Smart Display: 5.5” display for news and video calls
Meet the Amazon Echo Show 5—your pint-sized powerhouse of a smart display. With its 5.5” screen, it’s like having a window to your digital world, but let’s be honest, it’s the sound that’ll blow you away. Twice the bass? Clearer vocals? Your playlists, shows, and podcasts have never sounded this good.
Alexa’s not just smart; she’s practically your personal assistant. Need to video call your mom? Done. Want to tell the whole house dinner’s ready without leaving the couch? Easy. From flipping on the lights to checking who’s at the door (yes, it works with your cameras and doorbells), it’s all at the sound of your voice. And because we know you love showing off your vacation pics, it’ll cycle through your photos like a digital frame—only smarter.
Privacy’s a big deal, so they’ve thrown in a mic/camera off button and a camera shutter. Plus, it’s kind to the planet, crafted with sustainable stuff like 100% recycled polyester yarn and aluminum. So, it’s good for you and the earth. Win-win.

As a DIY enthusiast who loves tinkering with tech, I was too excited to get my hands on this little gadget. From day one, it's been a game-changer in my home. I use it daily to manage my schedule, play music while I work on projects, and even video call my partner without fumbling with my phone. The sound is rich and immersive—I can hear every note clearly, which is great for unwinding after a long study session. Setting it up was a breeze, and it connects effortlessly with my other smart devices, making the whole house feel smarter. Privacy was a big concern for me, so having that physical button to turn off the mic and camera is a HUGE relief. It's crafted with eco-friendly materials, which aligns with my values, and it just works reliably. Sure, the screen isn't massive, but for quick glances and controls, it's more than enough. Overall, it's a solid piece of tech that delivers on its promises, and I'd highly recommend it to anyone looking to enhance their smart home setup. :)
- Pros: The sound quality is absolutely fantastic, with deep bass and clear vocals that make music and podcasts a joy to listen to. I love how it integrates seamlessly with other devices, allowing me to control lights or see who's at the door just by speaking. The photo display feature is a nice touch, cycling through memories automatically, and the privacy controls with the off button and shutter give me peace of mind. It's compact yet powerful, offering solid value for its size.
- Cons: The screen is a bit small for watching longer videos, which might not be ideal if you're used to larger displays. Sometimes the voice assistant misunderstands commands, leading to minor frustrations. The build feels durable, but I wish it had more customization options for the interface. It's not perfect, but most likely these are small trade-offs for the features it packs in.
