The first-gen Echo Show 5 drops down to $45 ahead of Prime Day

Engadget

Amazon's Echo Show 5 just got an upgrade, but if you don't mind missing out on relatively minor additions like a higher-resolution camera, you can pick up the first-gen model at its lowest price to date. Just ahead of Prime Day, the 2019 Echo Show 5 is available for $45. Amazon has been selling the device for $50 recently, but we saw it drop to $45 during Prime Day and Black Friday last year. As the name suggests, Echo Show 5 has a smaller screen than other devices in the lineup at 5.5 inches. It's primarily designed for desks and nightstands.


Amazon's second-gen Echo Show 5 falls short on new features

USATODAY - Tech Top Stories

The Show 5 (second-gen) is one of several new touchscreen displays from Amazon this year, including the all-new Echo Show 5 (second-gen) Kids edition and the recently-revamped Echo Show 8 (second-gen). This is the first time that Amazon has refreshed the Echo Show 5 since 2019, but the upgrades are minimal between the first and second-gen models. However, if you're on the hunt for a compact Alexa display and don't already have one, the new Echo Show 5 is worth a look. The second-gen Show 5 comes with a white power adapter (15W) that spans about five feet in length. Plug the cord into the display, connect it to the internet, and follow the on-screen prompts to complete the setup process.
