Amazon Launches Echo Show 5 (3rd Gen) in India with Enhanced Audio, Camera & Smart Features at ₹10,999

With a price tag of ₹10,999, Amazon has formally introduced the third-generation Echo Show 5 smart display in India. With its improved acoustics, improved camera, and greater smart home connectivity, this new version is a potent addition to the roster of Alexa-powered devices.

Important Updates and Features

The 5.5-inch touchscreen of the Echo Show 5 (3rd Gen) has rounded sides and infinity cover glass. It has a 1.7-inch rear-facing speaker and the AZ2 Neural Edge processor. With twice as much bass and sharper vocals, the speaker now provides a much better audio experience for audiobooks, podcasts, and music.

Users may remotely watch their home thanks to the device's built-in camera and support for Amazon's "Drop In" feature. Live video feeds can be shown on the Echo Show 5's screen when it is connected to compatible security cameras and video doorbells. Additionally, it supports video calling via other Echo devices with displays and the Alexa app.

Voice assistant and smart home control

The device has hands-free Alexa voice control, just like its predecessors, which lets users operate smart home appliances like TVs, air conditioners, smart lighting, geysers, and fans in addition to managing calendars, setting reminders, and accessing recipes. A second level of interaction is provided by the touchscreen for users who would rather navigate manually.

Features for Improved Privacy

Amazon has prioritised user privacy by implementing several integrated safeguards. These consist of a physical shutter for the camera, a button to turn on and off the microphone, and options in the Alexa app that allow you to see and remove speech recordings.
