    Good product

    The Amazon Echo Show 5 (3rd Gen) in Charcoal is a smart display that truly excels in its role as a compact and versatile hub for your home. While it may not be a cinematic powerhouse or an audiophile's dream speaker, it's a "jack of all trades" that does what it's designed to do exceptionally well.

    Great product

    This offers some great features but having other Alexa products in the same household is hugely beneficial. The video options need some work as they are reliant on someone else having an Amazon Show to video call others. This product really shines when it comes to turning on/off other smart devices or setting timers. This is also compatible with Tapo plugs and is great for Turing on/off lamps in the house when my hands are full.

Key benefits

Q: Does the Echo Show 5 (3rd Gen) work with Google Assistant or Apple HomeKit devices?

A: No. This model is designed for Amazon Alexa and does not support Google Assistant or Apple HomeKit. It suits homes already using Alexa-compatible devices, rather than mixed smart home setups built around other platforms.

Q: Is the Echo Show 5 (3rd Gen) better for close-up viewing than watching videos across a room?

A: Yes. The 5.5-inch screen with 960 x 480 resolution is best for bedside tables, desks or kitchen counters where you are nearby. It works well for quick glances, calls and simple video viewing, rather than long-distance room viewing.

Q: Can the Echo Show 5 (3rd Gen) stream audio from an iPhone or Android phone?

A: Yes. It supports both Bluetooth and dual-band Wi-Fi, and it works with Android and iOS devices. That makes it suitable for wireless audio streaming from a phone or tablet, without needing a wired connection to the speaker.

Q: Is the speaker in the Echo Show 5 (3rd Gen) powerful enough to replace a larger home speaker?

A: No. The single 1.75-inch full-range speaker is better suited to casual listening in smaller spaces like a bedroom or kitchen. It is fine for podcasts, radio and background music, but not a substitute for a larger dedicated speaker.

Q: Can the Echo Show 5 (3rd Gen) connect to both 2.4GHz and 5GHz Wi-Fi networks?

A: Yes. It supports dual-band Wi-Fi 802.11a/b/g/n/ac, so it can connect to both 2.4GHz and 5GHz networks. That helps if a home router uses separate bands, or if one band gives a more stable signal where the device will sit.

Q: How much space does the Echo Show 5 (3rd Gen) take up on a bedside table or kitchen counter?

A: It has a compact footprint at 147 mm wide, 82 mm high and 91 mm deep. That makes it easier to place on narrower bedside tables or crowded benchtops, while still giving a usable touch display for everyday Alexa tasks.
