Echo Show 5 (2nd Gen) vs. Echo Show 5 (3rd Gen) - Is it Worth it to Upgrade?

In this video I compare the 2nd generation (released in 2021) & the 3rd generation (released in 2023) Echo Show 5.
Is the new 3rd generation a worthy upgrade? I’d say yes! The new design with a smaller footprint, better processor and much improved speaker are fantastic updates to this smart speaker.

Nice job with the video. Surprised they didn't center the camera like they did on the 3rd Gen Echo Show 8.

[@TecTimmy]

I totally agree about the white plugs! Amazon give us the darker plugs and wires back!

I was so confused seeing cpu benchmark somehow has the new processor scoring lower than the old, I figured there was no possible way that's correct, and sure enough I doubt it is, the 3rd gen looks much faster, thank you for your testing and showcasing of the differences between the two!

Thanks, I now know to keep my Echo Show 5 Gen. ONE!!!!. No reason to "upgrade" to 2 or 3.
