At the end of May, Amazon launched a new 5-inch smart screen in the hope of satisfying buyers looking for a device smaller than the Show, but larger than the Spot, and compete with Lenovo's Smart Clock. The initial price of $ 90 was also reasonable compared to other smart devices, but just two months after its release, Echo Show 5 is currently on sale for $ 65, a reduction of almost 30%.

If you're not familiar with Echo Show 5, it's basically a miniature Echo Show with very similar features, since it's also powered by Alexa and features a cool, cool, and easy-to-use look. an integrated camera and microphone for video calls. Unfortunately, the 1MP sensor may be slightly limited compared to the 5MP camera in the living room, but this is reasonable given that the show costs $ 230. Similarly, the speakers and screen of the Show 5 are slightly inferior to those of its siblings, but that makes sense since the smaller screen is primarily designed to be used as a clock intelligent. Finally, if you are concerned about your privacy, the Show 5 has a physical shutter and a button to mute the microphone for added peace of mind.

The discount is quite important considering the novelty of the product on the market, but it makes sense that Amazon is fighting against Lenovo, its smart clock is also proposed at $ 50. If video calls are important to you, I would advise you to play Echo Show 5 because the Lenovo Smart Clock does not have a camera.
