Introduction
The Echo Show 5 (ES5) is the latest Amazon Echo device with a screen after the Echo Show second generation released in 2018 (ES2018). The ES5 ought to be the Amazon Echo Show third generation, but the device seems to be in a class of its own. However, after seeing the first and second generation of the Echo Show, you won’t be quite wrong if you refer to the ES5 as the Echo Show third generation even though the ES5 appears to be below previous Echo Show generations.
Let’s face it! The ES5 can’t be seen as a replacement to the ES2018, it nevertheless comes with new features and the two Shows fit for different purposes. First, it’s pocket-friendly ($90) when compared to ES2018 ($230) and people who can’t afford the ES2018 can still enjoy what an Amazon Echo device with a screen can offer. While the ES2018 can fit for places such as the kitchen and sitting room, the ES5 can fit for personal spaces such as a small desk, nightstand or kids’ room.
The two Shows are similar in function but having a striking difference of size. While the ES2018 is 10.1," the ES5 is just 5.5." The ES5 looks more like an alarm clock whereas the ES2018 can pass for a miniature TV. The ES5 being something that fits the bedside has more clock-centric features including several clock faces and you can easily smack the top of the device to snooze the alarm.
The device also has adaptive brightness based on the environment it’s placed made possible by the presence of the ambience light sensor in the device. The sunrise feature on the flipside enables the display to slowly brighten up fifteen minutes before the alarm rings in the morning. However, this feature only works when the alarm is set to ring for 4 AM to 9 AM, and not during conventional times.
