"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."
"The 5.5-inch screen changes how you talk to Alexa by showing you information instead of just talking to you: You can see the whole forecast for tomorrow's weather when you ask about it and this helps you plan your outfit better than just hearing the temperature numbers. When you set timers while cooking, they show up on the screen so you can see how much time is left on each one without stopping what you're doing."
"Amazon is using its usual Black Friday strategy of selling its own devices for record low prices with small margins, just like it does with Kindle readers, Ring cameras, Blink security systems, and Eero routers. And right now, the Echo Show 5 is now $54 instead of its usual $89 price which makes it a simple way to get into smart home technology that you will use every day."
The Echo Show 5 is a 5.5-inch smart display that provides visual Alexa responses including full weather forecasts, timers, and music metadata such as song titles and album art. The device includes a 2 MP camera for video calling via the Alexa app or other Echo devices, enabling easy check-ins across different rooms. On-screen smart-home controls allow tapping to adjust lights, thermostats, and smart plugs and to view security camera feeds when the doorbell rings. Amazon discounted the Echo Show 5 to $54 from $89 as a Black Friday strategy, lowering the cost of daily smart-home integration.
