Amazon Echo Show 5 (3rd Gen)

The Amazon Echo Show 5 (3rd Gen) is a compact smart display with a 5.5-inch screen ideal for nightstands, desks, and small spaces. The updated design features improved audio with deeper bass and a 2MP camera for video calling. The small footprint and alarm clock functionality make it an excellent bedside companion.

The touchscreen displays time, weather, calendar entries, and smart home controls. Tap to control devices, view camera feeds, or browse Alexa-enabled content. The built-in sunrise alarm simulates natural light with gradually brightening display colors to wake you gently.

This compact Echo Show does not include built-in Zigbee, Thread, or Matter hubs—direct device pairing requires a separate compatible hub like Echo Hub or Echo (4th Gen). WiFi connectivity enables cloud-based smart home control through Alexa, while Bluetooth streams music from mobile devices.

The 2MP camera with physical shutter enables video calls with privacy control. The improved speaker provides fuller sound than previous generations for music, Alexa responses, and alarm tones. Alexa voice control manages smart home devices, answers questions, plays music, and runs thousands of skills. Available in Charcoal, Glacier White, and Cloud Blue.
