Much improved sound quality, Bigger screen is much nicer to look at, Design is more pleasing to the eye, Software is more capable and easier to use

The second generation of the Echo Show brings a better and bigger display, fuller sound and YouTube via Firefox or Amazon Silk browsers
There still aren't a lot of useful or entertaining animations in common Alexa interactions
If you like the idea of a smart display for cooking, calling or watching videos, the newest Echo Show is a great option. But don't expect any extras...
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 comfortabl...
