Amazon is taking $25 off the compact Alexa smart speaker with a screen. The Echo Show 5 is available just $64.99 from $89.99 for a limited time. You can also save on the Fire TV Stick, Fire TV Stick 4K, 3rd Generation Echo Dot and Fire HD 10 Tablet.
Amazon is taking $25 off the Echo Show 5, bringing it down to just $64.99 from $89.99. The newest addition to the Echo family launched back in June, and we raved about it in our review.
It comes in your choice of charcoal or sandstone
with a cloth-like outer shell. That soft design, paired with a 5.5-inch
HD display makes this a useful and attractive addition to a kitchen
counter or nightstand. It's like a small version of Amazon's Echo Show 2nd Generation ($229.99; amazon.com).
With the Echo Show 5,
you can ask Alexa to queue up content from news networks, Amazon Prime
Video and Hulu, as well as live TV. It can even be a second screen to
help with recipes in the kitchen. The screen also shows text
corresponding to Alexa's vocal responses.
Those with privacy concerns will be happy to know that the
front-facing 1-megapixel camera has a physical shutter. With a simple
slide of a switch, you can cover the lens and have it disconnect
internally. Like past Echo Smart Speakers, you can also hit a button to mute the microphone.
Audio
on the Echo Show 5 is pretty solid, especially when you place it up
against a wall, thanks to a rear-firing four-watt speaker.
This sale doesn't quite match the record-low $40 discount we saw for Prime Day, but it's a good device at a very good price at just $64.99.
Amazon is also offering the 3rd Generation Echo Dot for only $29.99, down from $49.99. A Fire TV Stick 4K is $10 off at $39.99 from $49.99, and a regular Fire TV Stick is $29.99 from $39.99. The Fire HD 10 Tablet is on sale for $99.99 from $149.99.
