2MP camera
Echo Show 5 (2nd Gen) has an upgraded HD camera with double the pixels, making it perfect for a quick video call, or to drop in on the kitchen to see if dinner is ready.

Alexa with visuals
Voice responses from Alexa are enhanced with crisp visuals on a 5.5” screen display. Get a news update, set alarms and timers, check the weather and traffic situation, catch the latest film trailer, browse and listen to radio, podcasts and Audible audio books, and more. All you have to do is ask. Choose from a selection of clock faces for your preferred look, and create your own morning routine to start your day the right way.

Entertainment for every part of your day
You can catch up on the latest news and sports highlights, watch TV series on subscription services like Prime Video and Netflix, and follow step-by-step recipes. Choose your music selection by voice and see the screen come alive with lyrics (UK only) and album art courtesy of Amazon Music. It's the perfect size to bring all this and more to any room, at a glance.

Connect with others
Make hands-free calls to friends and family who have an Echo device or the Alexa App (available on Fire OS, Android, iOS and desktop). Just ask Alexa to place a call to anyone with a supported device. And with the Drop In feature, you can instantly connect with other Echo devices in the home, for example to send a quick reminder to the whole family at once.

Enhanced privacy
Your voice is only streamed to the cloud after you mention the wake word, “Alexa”, you can easily turn the microphone and camera off at the touch of a button, and the camera includes a built-in privacy shutter.

Control compatible smart devices
Use Echo Show 5 to see a live camera feed from the nursery or your front door, turn up the thermostat or dim the lights from the sofa, all without lifting a finger. Echo Show 5 works with smart home devices such as cameras, lights, thermostats and more from brands including WeMo, Philips Hue, SmartThings, Netatmo, TP-Link, Hive, and others.

Alexa Skills
Skills add even more capabilities such as ordering a takeaway with Just Eat or pizza from Dominos, requesting a ride from Uber, local searching from Yelp, trying a new recipe from Recipedia, and more. With tens of thousands of skills available, new ones are being added all the time. You can also see ratings and reviews to learn what other customers are saying about skills in the Alexa App.

Help around the home
Echo Show 5 helps keep you organised at home. Start a timer in the kitchen and watch as it counts down, or easily see and manage your family's calendar. Sign in to the Alexa App to take your to-do and shopping lists with you. Instantly add an item to your list with Echo Show 5 and see it in your Alexa App when out shopping.

Always getting smarter
Alexa, the brain behind Echo Show 5, is built in the cloud, so it's always getting smarter. The more you use Echo Show 5, the more it adapts to your speech patterns, vocabulary, and personal preferences. And because Echo Show 5 is always connected, updates are delivered automatically.

Total App Control
Download the free Alexa app onto your Fire OS, Android, iOS device or desktop browser for easy set up and control.
