More discreet than its big brother (Amazon Echo Show 2), it fits well in spaces, especially on a bedside table in a bedroom. The upper part is made up of 2 microphones with 4 buttons:

Small flat that we find on the devices of the Echo range, they work only when smart health connected on sector.
The 5 inch touch screen quality
The touch screen of theAmazon Echo Show 5 has a 5.5 inch size, and an 720 pixel resolution per inch. The screen brings above all a visual comfort for the different functionalities, in particular to view the news channels, and benefit from different informations requested to Alexa or for to watch movies for example.

Quality touch screen
The big plus is the presence of a camera. To carry out videoconferences with the Skill Skype or ehealth calls with WhatsApp or Messenger. A slide to hide the camera allows you to benefit from an intimacy mode.
A speech Recognition quality
The Amazon Echo Show 5 ships 2 built-in microphones. About the speech Recognition, it works very well, when theenvironment is calm. We carried out several tests at the level of voice capture. Without music and little outside noise, the Amazon Echo Show 5 captures the voice well, without the need to raise the tone. Even when the music is on, the device can still pick up the sound of the voice.
However, with a noisier outdoor environment, the quality of speech Recognition tends to decrease. We do not have no need to raise strong voice however.
The sound quality as an extra speaker
TheAmazon Echo Show 5 is a small speaker – alarm clock – touch pad smart health connected. Its main functionality is not to serve as a smart health connected speaker, but to offer a set of smart services. The sound quality is not optimal. In low volume or in large volume, the restitution is rather imprecise. On a average volume, thereEcho Show 5 will be a good alternative for some background music.
To listen to music at a high volume, you can connect the device via a 3.5mm mini jack or in Bluetooth (wireless speaker). This device is more useful for using a maximum service (task list, different skills, etc.), only for single use in the enclosure. However, Amazon is Google’s main competitor, and Echo Show 5 do not have access to Youtube only via a web browser (Firefox or Amazon browser).
