  • Unboxing, setup and hands-on review of Amazon's new Echo Show 5 smart display, one of the best Alexa speakers with touchscreen controls and voice support. This is a more compact version of the original Echo Show speaker, rocking a 5.5-inch display and full smart home connectivity via the Alexa assistant.
    After setting up Amazon's new device, we take a close look at the hardware and interface. The Mediatek chipset does a good job of running the latest Echo Show 5 smoothly, while your privacy is maintained via the mic mute and camera cover.
    Simply by saying 'Alexa', you can command this smart display to stream video via CZcams, play your music with the likes of Spotify and Apple Music, and access info from your calendar or online. The Skills base has expanded rapidly, so you can do all sorts - and this is one of the best compact options for the kitchen or bedroom, with better functionality than Lenovo's Smart Clock and the Google Hub.
    You can grab the new Show from Amazon right now here in the UK, for £80.

    Thank you. I currently have an Echo Dot in my kitchen. And it heard you say “ Alexa play.....” so my Echo Dot started to play good autumn songs. LOL

    Just bought it! Appreciate this review. Will be great for the living room. Purchased in Charcol because that bezel seems a bit off with the sandstone

  • @jayryan7473
    @jayryan7473 Před 2 lety +1

    Saying the sound is tinny is way off base. These are one of the top sellers due to its sound quality. You failed to mention what kind of speakers they are and where the speakers are located. You provided no more information than anybody could find on Google in less than 10 seconds. That's probably why only half a % of people that have seen your video gave it a like. Fun facts to help make you smarter: this has a 1.65 inch, 4 watt speaker. It's identical to the echo dot speaker. The sound comes out of the vents along the bottom of the screen.

    Massively helpful, I just looked at the discount on the echo show 5 on amazon and thought, wonder what it’s like? And lo and behold On the day the prime sale begins Techspurt’s on the job. Clever bugger.

    For Prime Day 2019, the Echo Show 5 is reduced to just £50, making it even more crazy value. Definitely grab one if you're even slightly tempted!

    You can actually turn on the adaptive brightness setting on your Alexa show 5 sir, in case you didn't figure that out for yourself already. Have a great day and thanks for the walk through. I will have less anxiety whenever I un-box mine and set it up because I was able to watch your video first. Thank you

  • @PaulJonesy
    @PaulJonesy Před 4 lety +6

    It does have ambient light sensing, it’s in the ‘display’ options in settings.

    Can you set these up and connect to wifi without using the touchscreen display? only ask, as I'm vision impaired, so unless it speaks words and characters as I'm entering wifi and Amazon details, these are actually Echo No Gos unless a friend relative, support worker Etc, sets them up.

    I don't have any Echo devices, all I really need it to do is adjust my thermostat, turn on some lights and check my video doorbell and security cameras without having to use my phone or tablet. I have much better devices for watching videos, movies , tv and listening to music. Would the Echo Show 5 be perfect for that? Should also point out that I don't video chat or care how good or bad the camera is. Thanks

    • @Macey_W_07
      @Macey_W_07 Před 3 lety

      Yes I think it would be pretty perfect for that, just don’t get the echo spot, it is more expensive for not as good of a device.

    It does not have apple music or any of those subscriptions but you can use Bluetooth to cast music to it unless the app has a built-in cast but then you can cast to it from Pandora or iHeart Radio and stuff like that or you can stream music from that device the Echo Show 5 to a Bluetooth speaker so then it sounds better I'm not saying it doesn't sound good I'm just saying so it does sound better

  • @bobclarie
    @bobclarie Před 3 lety

    We like the audio quality of the Echo Show 5 . . . Until . . . you pair a bluetooth device, or an Amazon remote. After disconnecting the bluetooth, the built in speaker looses it’s fidelity and sounds very tinny. To return the fidelity to the built-in speakers, I have to unplug the power and plug it back in. Also, when I paired the Amazon remote, the mic function did not work; all the other features worked. I had to pair the Amazon remote to my Echo Dot, and then the remote updated itself and the mic function would work on the Echo Show 5. I may just have a faulty device.
