Amazon continues to innovate its Alexa-powered device lineup with the launch of the Echo Show 5 (3rd Generation) in India. This latest version enhances user experience with improved performance, audio upgrades, and refined aesthetics all while maintaining a compact footprint.
Currently available at a discounted launch price of ₹10,999, the new Echo Show 5 aims to be the go-to smart display for bedrooms, workspaces, and small rooms.
New Echo Show, Same Convenient Size
Amazon has kept the 5.5-inch display size, ensuring the device remains compact and ideal for limited spaces. While the screen dimensions are unchanged, the design now looks more modern thanks to rounded edges and an elegant glass finish.
It’s available in two colors: Charcoal and Cloud Blue, both designed to complement a variety of interior styles.
What’s New Inside: Faster, Smarter, Sharper
This generation of Echo Show 5 is powered by the AZ2 Neural Edge processor, which helps Alexa process tasks locally, resulting in quicker response times and smoother interactions. Whether you’re asking Alexa about the weather or setting alarms, the performance is faster and more reliable than before.
The upgraded microphone array also ensures your voice commands are detected more clearly, even in busy or noisy environments.
Louder and Clearer: Improved Audio Performance
The 1.7-inch speaker on the Echo Show 5 Gen 3 is a notable improvement. Amazon claims it delivers twice the bass and clearer vocals than its predecessor, making it more capable for:
- Streaming music and podcasts
- Watching short videos
- Attending voice or video calls
Despite its compact size, the audio output feels fuller and more enjoyable.
