  • The new Echo Show is easily one of the best smart displays available, and is an upgrade in almost every way over the old one, but at £220 it's also pretty expensive.At its core the Show is just an Alexa-powered smart speaker, and so most of its functions...

  • There's not the choice of recipes to follow as offered by other smart displays, The large screen means the Echo Show takes up a large amount of space
  • If money is no object, this is the best smart display you can buy. The screen is bright and clear, the sound is powerful and the smart functions are second to none...

  • Nice big screen, Improved audio, Decent smart home hub, Alexa still a handy helper
  • Pricey, Screen feels underused, Audio needs tweaking, Limited video playback
  • There are times when a standard Echo device feels like it could do with a screen - peace of mind while shopping, for example, or when Alexa keeps picking the wrong song from Spotify - but the Show doesn't address those issues or make it feel like a necess...

  • Overall, the Echo Show 2 is a big improvement on the original. The screen is bigger and brighter, and the quality is better. It looks and feels nicer to use, too, and it sounds pretty damned good, all things considered, not to mention that the microphone...

  • 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...
