only get the Amazon echo show and a power quarter that's it first impressions is it's heavy and it's very well put together there's a huge over pound bottom so it's not going to be moving around if you're playing music with a lot of bass design-wise I would have preferred if they just made it a rectangle but I'll give them the benefit of doubt because it looks like they use all that extra space on the bottom to cram in some good static speakers one those in a minute apparently Amazon didn't get the memo that this was the year of no bezels because this thing has some huge vessels especially the top one it gives it a big forehead but it does house a five megapixel camera the three blinds on the top of a Lima buying a volume down by an and and on osborne that also serves as a Do Not Disturb button it's just off the mic in the camera the touchscreen on the front is 7 inches and it's very responsive and it does a great job of repelling fingerprints there's an a microphone or a built-in which honestly blew me away there are dual to install B speakers behind the grill and on the back there are no ports besides the AC in and running everything on the hood is an Intel Atom x5z 835 o processor ok Amazon ago show it smart speaker with a touchscreen on the front that looks like a TV from the early 2000s what can it do we're going to get all the basic stuff that all the other reviews have covered yes you can ask a goofy questions you can ask for the weather as for your commute time and set timers and does that new drop in feature that everyone is worried about but what to like actually living with this thing in order to get the most out of your Amazon echo show I think it should live in your kitchen I think the Amazon echo show will put an end to the atrocity that our smart refrigerators that just have touch screens on the front you can ask that those shows to give you flash precincts from sources and on certain topics you you're so thick so you can walk into the kitchen in the morning for breakfast and your echo show can get your must be in a few minutes you can also tell it to show you rest month essence there's a screen on the front following the instructions it's just that much easier you can even tell Alexa to scan a barcode for you and you can do your grocery shopping write them in they're running low on ketchup syrup and creatine just hold it up to the Aqua shell and it will order for you sure you can tell the normal echo verbally what you want to order but being able to see what you're buying beforehand just gives you peace of mind knowing you ordered the right thing you can even scroll through different options but smart speakers are only worth using if they can hear you and understand your accurately thanks to the a microphone array built into the echo show Alexa had no issue hearing and understanding me even when I was 50 feet away talking in the voice very rarely that I have to speak up for it I see it Alexa could also hear is just fine even when I had the echo show playing music a small volume a feature that Apple spoke very highly of when they announced their home pod I also found the echo show is good for listening to music you compare to your phone using bluetooth the bass is deep the highs are clear and there's a good amount of depth to the music as well and sitting on that thick of a pet it doesn't move around when the bass really gets going like some of my other wireless speakers and you can watch youtube videos on this as well but the echos show isn't just for shopping and for listening to music thanks to all the skills the echo show has it's also a great solution for controlling your smartphone the echo show can show you what your nice camera or ring doorbell sees and you can set the lighting if you have smart light bulbs as the echo ecosystem ages developers will be able to improve the echo show actually with that touchscreen but there are some gripes I do want to point out about the echo shown for starters it's the OS there are so little instances where you can actually use the touchscreen it baffles my mind there's no App Store so you can't choose add more skills by using the echo show you have to do that on your phone there's also the sense that the echo shell is always trying to upsell you to use more and more Amazon products and download more Amazon apps on your phone I also don't like how you can actually log into your YouTube account and play videos from your subscription for you I would really like to be able to place her in videos on the echo show while I do the dishes or cook so where does this leave the echo shell I would put the echo shell in the same category as the Apple watch it's not a must-have product but it is nice to have and wants to get used to it it's hard to go without it it settles good for $230 wireless speaker and there's a touch screen on the front it's great for consuming news and keeping you up to date on everything that matters to you you can also do most of your grocery shopping which honestly is my favorite feature if you're building out a smart home the echo show can really come in handy especially with that touch screen although I feel the OS is a little premature I know that once developers start releasing new skills specifically made for the echo shell it's going to transform it into a whole other beast just
