The Amazon ecosystem is made up of a wide range of products and services, including Alexa-enabled speakers, streaming music, Fire TV streaming dongles, and an expanding selection of smart displays. This varied assortment of gadgets is much more than just an Echo with a phone or tablet screen attached, with options ranging in size from tiny to enormous.
What, therefore, makes the Echo Show range of smart displays worthwhile to purchase, particularly with Prime Day and the fantastic bargains it delivers just around the corner? What else did Amazon include to differentiate this range of gadgets from the basic Echo lineup, outside the ability to search the internet and play movies from Prime Video?
It turns out a lot. The majority of Echo Show displays vary greatly from one another, thus some will perform these activities better than others, but they are all more than capable of doing so.
1. Simple video chat
The fact that the Echo Show line’s screen makes it a simple video chat device is one of the screen’s most obvious advantages. We purchased an Echo Show 8 for each member of our immediate family’s home more than a year ago at this point, just to make it as simple as possible for us to see one another.
Once it’s set up, even my family members with less technological expertise can easily call one another in this manner. This can also be used effectively with sign language. My acquaintances who have hearing impairments and deaf parents frequently use Echo Shows to facilitate communication.
2. Control of smart homes
With the right smart home controls, you can simply accomplish the same thing by touch instead of using voice, which can be challenging once you have more than a few gadgets in a few rooms. You may avoid the feared and common “I’m sorry, I don’t see any lights in the living room” response that has been the scourge of smart assistant users everywhere with a few precise, easy touches. But not all voice commands should be given with such a fine degree of specificity, though.
When taking a youngster to bed, you may need to turn out the lights in more than one room to avoid waking them up. And if it’s not a youngster, perhaps it was your spouse who dozed off.
3. Quick information
Even if I only want to check the weather, there’s at least a 50% chance that every time I unlock my phone, I’ll find myself mindlessly reading social media. I could ask a smart assistant to give me the day’s high and low temperatures, but I’d much rather see an hour-by-hour breakdown. Not to mention, checking my reminders while still listening to music with my headphones on is attractive.
4. Assist in the kitchen
My family members all enjoy cooking, but we’ve all been in this situation before. You’re in the middle of preparing a brand-new recipe you discovered online.
Your hands are smeared in flour (or, worse yet, oil), and you’ve completely forgotten how much of an item you need. The only choices you have are to wash your hands right away or clean your gadget later, unless your phone or tablet is open in front of you. You could always read the recipe on your countertop via an Echo Show as an alternative.
5. An echo still exists
Although all of these smart display features are fantastic, it’s crucial to keep in mind that they are done on top of the standard Echo functions. Lyrics are available on an Echo Show when playing Amazon Music on your Echo. Any Echo will read the Wikipedia entry if you ask it what a pierogi is, but an Echo Show will also display pierogi while it does that.
While watching movie trailers on an Echo Show, you may ask any Echo for the times of nearby movie showings. All of the Echo Show models are still Echos, but they are not all just Echos.
