As with older models, there will also be a $100 Echo Show 5 Kids Edition, complete with a new space-themed design and the usual two-year warranty and one year of Amazon Kids+ for a constant stream of kid-friendly content. We found the previous Echo Show 5 to be an excellent nightstand companion, thanks to its useful display, crisp camera and solid audio quality, which should get even better this time around. The new version of the $90 Echo Show 5 - which combines an Alexa speaker with a 5-inch touchscreen for things like video calls and shopping lists - claims to be 20% faster than before, and packs a revamped speaker system that promises deeper bass and richer overall sound. In addition to launching the Echo Pop, Amazon is also refreshing its Echo Show 5 smart display with better performance and audio quality. The Pop is powered by the same AZ2 Neural Edge processor as the latest fifth-generation Echo Dot (our current favorite budget smart speaker), so we’re expecting a similarly speedy experience when using Alexa. You’ll also get Eero built-in functionality that allows the Pop to double as a Wi-Fi extender, as well as support for Matter - the latest smart home standard that allows gadgets from different brands to play nice together. And if you are an old-school Echo purist (or just don’t like fun), the speaker will also be available in Amazon’s usual Charcoal and Glacier White.ĭespite its sliced-down design, the Echo Pop does just about everything a full-fledged Echo can do, including the thousands upon thousands of Alexa voice skills that allow you to do everything from check the weather to control your entire smart home without lifting a finger. Its compact, semispherical design features a front-facing speaker (as opposed to the omnidirectional sound you get from a standard Echo or Echo Dot), which the company says is ideal for settings such as dorm rooms and apartments where you may not have a ton of free space.īut the Pop really stands out with its color options - particularly the eye-catching Lavender Bloom and Midnight Teal that make for a refreshing change from the more subdued Echo devices we’re used to. The Echo Pop kind of looks like what would happen if you sliced a regular Amazon Echo in half, and not in a bad way.
