It doesn't mean there is someone sitting in a room at Amazon's headquarters watching you on a surveillance screen. Just like the way the Echo microphone is always listening, the camera is always watching. Wait, did you say always-on camera? So it watches me? The Show has a 7-inch touch sensitive screen and a 5MP always-on front-facing camera.Īccording to initial reviews, the Show also has a better audio experience than the flagship Echo speaker. The Echo, Dot, and Tap are only a speaker with an always-on microphone. See at Amazon How is the Echo Show different from the other Echo products? You can buy it outright or pay it off in five-month installments of $36 per month. How much is this Show going to set me back? At this time, skills are limited, but developers are currently working on Show-specific apps so you can take advantage of the addition of the screen and camera. Similar to the Echo family of speakers, the Show supports Skills, which adds a plethora of possible features, like getting stock market updates, finding out the weather forecast, and viewing your week's schedule.

The Show also includes a 5MP front-facing camera so you can make video calls to friends and family with the Echo Show, or who have the Alexa app on a video supported device, like an iPhone or iPad. It sports a 7-inch touch-sensitive screen and two Dolby front-facing speakers, as well as an eight-microphone array, which can hear your query from across the room, even while you're listening to music or watching a video.
