The new ECHO Show 8 does a lot better than its predecessors, and the faster working speed was a particular favourite during testing. It also retains many virtues such as the crisp display and the great voice control. However, the smart home hub is probably the most practical new feature.

  • PositiveGood Alexa voice control
  • NegativePixelated resolution and LCD technology not up to date
  • NegativeLimited app selection

With the third generation of the Echo Show 5, Amazon is carefully updating the model. The more powerful sound and the overall improved performance are small, but nevertheless noticeable advances. Viewed on its own, the Echo Show does a rock-solid job as an Alexa smart display. It reliably accepts voice commands and implements them quickly...

  • PositiveResponds well to speech input
  • PositiveVersatile with Alexa
  • Positiveinformative screen
  • NegativeWith music and films moderate sound

The Amazon Echo Pop does its job well: With it, the voice assistant can show off all its capabilities. The sound quality is okay for such a small speaker, especially when it comes to voice playback. The same applies to the Echo Show, which reacts more sensitively to voice inputs than its predecessor. It also scores points with its small but informative screen.
