Improved in every way
8/10
The latest model of the Amazon Alexa-powered Echo Show smart display is a major upgrade over the original, with a larger, more functional touch screen and a much more powerful speaker system.

It's much more than Alexa now with a big display
While it looks futuristic, it has its flaw and needs to be polished in terms of skills of flexibility and skills. Having said that, if you’ll be using this for sole entertainment purposes like music or streaming Prime Videos, then, it’s the best you can get.

The 2nd gen Echo Show is much improved smart speaker with a bigger display for 2019. The best part about Amazon Echo devices has been its voice assistant ‘Alexa’. The AI-powered digital assistant is undoubtedly smartest virtual assistant for smart speakers right now. It picks up your voice thanks to its eight microphones and far-field technology. The device can hear you even when the music is playing loud, and it worked 9 out of 10 times during my review time.
Great Audio output, good bass

The Echo Show 2018 has a lot going in its favor, including fabulous audio output. As always Alexa is obedient and always ready to respond to your commands. The Echo Show responds best with Amazon services be it shopping or watching shows like The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel on Prime Videos it all can be done by just calling out Alexa. Furthermore, a built-in smart home hub adds more value to the Echo Show and means it can be a great new addition for anyone who’s interested in smart homes and is invested in Amazon’s ecosystem.
Targeted at those who want a display in their smart speaker
7/10
Undoubtedly, this is the best Amazon Echo device when it comes to audio performance. The display functionalities add to the allure of the Echo and is a value-add in every sense if you use it to full potential.

Built to draw attention

Echo Show has a number of advantages over the cheaper-priced Home Hub. Amazon’s taken a far more serious storage to audio and video on the device but I’m not sure Echo Show really provides a killer app. It’s fantastic for video conferencing — as long as you use Skype. If you don’t, you might have to start. The 10-inch screen is just a bit easier to see from across the room.
One of the best smart displays available

At its core the Show is just an Alexa-powered smart speaker, and so most of its functions can be had for as little as £50.

At its core the Show is just an Alexa-powered smart speaker, and so most of its functions can be had for as little as £50. But that big, crisp 10.1in screen makes for a good digital photo frame, excellent kitchen helper and a solid smart home controller, particularly if you have any compatible smart cameras or doorbells you want to view without digging out your phone.
Alexa advances and enhances the smart display experience
7.5/10
Still, for now, you’ve got a great evolution of what Alexa can offer made manifest in the Echo Show. On most fronts, it’s superior to the other Echo options - so it’s well-worth the extra expense if you’re already committed to the ecosystem and comfortable letting another front-facing camera into your home.

It could be improved further with better software

The new Echo Show improves on the original in just about every way. But, for us, it still doesn’t do enough to make the screen an indispensable feature. Sound quality is a lot better than other Echos, but you can plug an Echo Dot into your own speakers for a fraction of the price.

The same, but way better

With its killer speakers and huge display, Amazon's new smart display is ready to show you a good time. Provided, of course, you know the magic words.
