similar bundle<\/a> with the smaller Echo Show 5 is available for $75, though we’ve seen that display fall as low as $40 in the past, so it’s not as strong of a deal.<\/p>\nWe haven’t formally reviewed this newest model, but it’s a straightforward upgrade over the previous-gen Echo Show 8, which we called the best smart display<\/a> for Alexa users. It remains the best blend of price, size and functionality in the Echo Show lineup, with a better camera and more spacious display than the Echo Show 5<\/a> and a much lower price than the Echo Show 10<\/a>. This latest model has a more centered front camera, an upgraded processor, a slightly revised design and compatibility with other<\/a> smart home devices using the Matter, Zigbee and Thread protocols. There’s also a built-in camera cover and mic mute button, though no device like this will be truly comfortable for the privacy-conscious. Still, if you’re happy with Alexa and want a hub for pulling up recipes, displaying photos, streaming music and the like, this is a decent value.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n$100 at Amazon<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
