Bringing meaningful improvements to the table, Amazon has launched the Echo Show 5 Gen 3 smart display in India. It retains the compact size of its predecessor and comes with upgrades in audio and boasts significantly enhanced voice recognition capabilities. Echo Show 5 Gen 3 costs Rs 10,999 under a limited-time discount scheme, down from the listed MRP of Rs 11,999 on Amazon.
With its compact and modern design, the device maintains the familiar look of its predecessor—an ideal fit for your bedside as a smart alarm companion. It features a 5.5-inch touchscreen display and vaguely resembles a mini version of the Echo Show 8, which is better suited for watching videos.
Echo Show 5 Gen 3 is powered by Amazon’s new AZ2 Neural Edge processor under the hood and has an upgraded microphone array too, promising faster response. Amazon claims a 1.7-inch rear-facing speaker in the enhanced audio system delivers twice the bass and clearer vocals compared to before.
Amazon has refined the build quality with rounded edges and new infinity cover glass, yielding a cleaner aesthetic. The user interface has been revamped significantly for enhanced usability in dimly lit environments, especially at night. It includes a built-in camera with a physical privacy shutter for private video calls and discreet photo capture. With Alexa built-in, users can easily manage their smart home setup—everything from security systems and video doorbells to lights and plugs—just by using voice commands.
Echo Show 5 Gen 3 ships in Charcoal or Cloud Blue hues and can be bought from Amazon.in or select retailers like Reliance Digital. Echo Show 8 costs Rs 13,999 while the high-end Echo Show 10 retails at Rs 24,999 in comparison. The older second-gen Echo Show 5 is available on Amazon for as low as Rs 5,099.
