Our take on the Amazon Echo Show 5 (3rd Gen)

The Echo Show 5 is Amazon's smallest smart display: a 5.5-inch screen and 2 MP camera on a wedge-shaped speaker base, powered by Alexa. It handles alarms, weather, video calls, smart home controls and music streaming, and the screen adds glanceable info a plain Echo speaker cannot show. The third generation adds a faster processor and better sound than earlier versions, but its 21 W speaker is modest next to the Echo Show 8. It suits a bedside table, desk or kitchen counter where space is tight and a full-size display is overkill.

Pros
  • Compact footprint fits tight spaces
  • Screen shows weather, calendars and video feeds
  • Alexa handles timers, lists and smart home devices
  • Camera supports video calls and drop-in
  • Physical volume buttons and camera shutter
Cons
  • Small 5.5-inch screen is hard to read from across a room
  • Sound is thin compared with the Echo Show 8
  • No Zigbee or Thread radio for direct smart home pairing
  • Needs AC power, so it is not portable
  • Alexa privacy settings take some digging

Questions and answers

Is the Echo Show 5 (3rd Gen) worth it over a plain Echo speaker?
Yes if you want a screen for weather, calendars, cameras or video calls. If you mainly want music, a standard Echo speaker sounds better for similar money.
How does it compare with the Echo Show 8?
The Show 8 has a much larger, sharper screen and fuller sound. The Show 5 is smaller and easier to fit on a nightstand, but its display and speaker are noticeably weaker.
Can I use it as a bedside alarm clock?
Yes. It shows the time, supports alarms and sunrise-style wake routines, and the camera shutter lets you block video. It must stay plugged into AC power.
Does it work with Spotify and other music services?
Yes. It supports Spotify Connect, Amazon Music, Deezer and TuneIn, and can stream over Wi-Fi or Bluetooth 5.0 from a phone.
Does it have a smart home hub built in?
No. It controls compatible devices over Wi-Fi but lacks Zigbee or Thread radios, so you need a separate hub for those devices.
What is in the box?
The Echo Show 5, a power adapter and a quick start guide. No stand or mounting hardware is included.

At Best Buy, for $99.99, as of our latest check.
