Amazon’s most compact smart display is now the most affordable it’s ever been. The Echo Show 5 dropped to $45 today, which is 50 percent off its normal price. The last time it was even close to that price ($50 to be precise) was back in May. This is an early Prime Day deal, so you must be a Prime member to get the savings (and yes, you’re still able to get a 30-day free trial of Prime if you’re a new subscriber).
The Echo Show 5 was one of the many Alexa-enabled devices made by Amazon that did not receive an update two weeks back. The tech giant announced new Echo speakers, including new Echo Dots and a new 10-inch Echo Show, but Show 5 and many other devices remain unchanged.
The current deal on the Echo Show 5 is one to grab now if you’ve been eyeing the tiny smart display. We gave the Show 5 a score of 85 for its great sound quality, physical camera shutter, and sunrise alarm feature. The device has a 5.5-inch touchscreen, making it arguably the best Alexa smart display to use on a nightstand as an alarm clock. The Sunrise alarm will gradually increase the display’s brightness s you can wake up more gradually and naturally, and you can choose from a series of different clock faces to customize the device.
And as with other Alexa-enabled devices, the Echo Show 5 can do almost anything you ask of the virtual assistant. It can control smart home devices, and even show you video feeds from security cameras, play music from different streaming services, provide weather reports and calendar alerts, access the thousands of Alexa Skills available, and more.
