Smart displays fix the problem of needing information quickly without having to pull out your phone every five minutes: The Echo Show 5 lets you see the weather at a glance while you get ready, lets you video call your grandparents so they can see the kids, shows you the feeds from your security cameras when someone rings the doorbell, and lets you control your smart lights without having to look for switches.
Starting with the Echo Dot Max, it features a dual-driver design consisting of a woofer and a tweeter. The new design integrated the speaker directly into the device housing instead of a separate module, which doubles the internal air space for fuller sound. The device can also tune the sound to your surrounding and Amazon claims it can produce 3x the bass of the 5th gen Echo Dot.
