The Echo Show's usefulness, more than any other Echo device thus far, will vary depending on where you put it. Putting it in the kitchen versus putting it in a living room will give you two different Echo Show experiences. It also needs more time for skil...

Effective smart home hub, Alexa is still a helpful ally, There's potential to tap
Needs a lot more visual apps, Underwhelming speakers, Clunky design
The Echo Show's screen should become more useful in time as third-party skill makers harness its added abilities – but for now, Amazon hasn't yet proven that a home voice assistant really needs a screen attached. There are no truly new or amazing feature...

The Echo Show offers everything you love about Alexa, complete with new video and touchscreen controls. It shines best as a dedicated, hands-free video calling command center
The uninspired design feels dated. At launch, the touchscreen visuals don't do enough to bring Alexa to life, or make her much easier to use -- though that could change with the arrival of new screen-specific Alexa skills
Amazon's touchscreen Alexa device shows potential for people interested in video chatting with friends and family members, but it needs a little more development before we'd recommend it...
Easy to use, Some Alexa features, like timers and lists, are better with visuals, Plays YouTube videos and gives visual search results, Lots of potential uses for an assistant with a screen
Skills still need some work, No privacy shutter
The Amazon Echo is $180. The Echo Show is $230. For $50, you get some new perks and a lot of potential. If you've been thinking of grabbing an Echo for a while, you might as well get something that adds video calling, visual search results, and, in time...
The new Amazon Echo Show is a great smart speaker for your home if a smart home is something that you're working towards. This device can not only become a great control point for all your smart home connected devices, but you can also use it as your assi...
Good Design, Solid Build Quality, Bright & Clear Display, Impressive Audio Clarity, Clean Interface | Powered by Alexa, Supports Amazon Prime Video, Smart Home Control
YouTube Integration Needs Improvements, Limited to Amazon Services, Expensive
The price the Amazon Echo Show starts at Rs 22,999 and is available on Amazon India. Amazon asks a premium price for a smart speaker, rival Google Home Hub is way cheaper. It's more of a luxury product in my opinion, but if you love Alexa related stuff, y...

El Amazon Echo Show es el mejor altavoz inteligente de Amazon. De eso no cabe duda. Ahora bien, no es sencillo responder a la pregunta de si vale la pena. Depende mucho de si tenemos más dispositivos inteligentes en casa y de si tenemos clara su ubicación...
