Amazon has announced the launch of the third-generation Echo Show 5 smart display with Alexa in India. It features double the bass and clearer vocals compared to its previous generation.
Echo Show 5 (3rd Gen) features a new and compact design with a 5.5” display. The device’s build now features rounded edges, and its display includes an infinity cover glass. Its improved user interface provides a comfortable viewing experience even at night. The display helps customers quickly glance at weather updates, manage smart home controls from the screen, or watch compatible security camera video feeds. The device is powered by the new, faster AZ2 Neural Edge processor and features an improved microphone array.
With the built-in camera on Echo Show 5 (3rd Gen), customers can monitor their homes when they’re away using the ‘Drop In’ feature. They can pair compatible security cameras and video doorbells with their device to view video feeds on the screen. The camera also enables video calls with friends and family who have Echo devices with screens, or the Alexa app. Customers can send messages or connect to other Echo devices within the home for quick announcements—ideal for larger households with multiple Echo devices.
Echo Show 5 (3rd Gen)’s upgraded speaker system delivers the best sound of any Echo Show 5. Its 1.7” rear-facing speaker provides double the bass and clearer vocals compared to the previous generation. With Alexa’s help, customers can just use their voice to request for a song, artist, or genre through Amazon Music, Apple Music, Spotify or JioSaavn, or jump right into their audiobook from Audible (separate subscription fees may apply). With multi-room music, customers can fill their home with music using other Echo devices in different rooms by creating custom groups (for example, “upstairs”).
Echo Show 5 (3rd Gen) comes with hands-free voice controls via Alexa. Users can ask Alexa to show the calendar, set timers or reminders, add items to to-do/shopping lists, and more. Controlling compatible smart home devices like smart lights, ACs, fans, security cameras, TVs, and geysers is made easy by simply asking Alexa or tapping on the device’s screen.
Echo Show 5 (3rd Gen) is built with multiple layers of privacy controls, including a built-in camera shutter, microphone on/off button, and the ability to view and delete voice recordings in the Alexa app.
The Echo Show 5 (3rd Gen) is now available in Charcoal and Cloud Blue colours at a discounted price of INR 10,999. It is available on Amazon.in, Flipkart, and select offline stores of Reliance Digital and Croma.
