The Amazon Echo Show 2nd Generation Review

The Amazon Echo Show 2nd Generation Review

The Amazon Echo Show 2nd Generation was brought to the world, bringing about even better sound and a better look. The Echo Show was one of those devices that when first brought to the market, not everyone was sure about what it offered. After all, it was going up against some of the bigger names in video calling like the Google Assistant. However, the first generation of the Amazon Echo Show did what many would say would be okay. It was handy to have in the kitchen when you were cooking to look up recipes, and that was about it. But, with the second generation they have learned from past mistakes and make the second generation something that is catching people’s attention.

The Features

The Amazon Echo Show 2nd Generation is boosting some decent size and audio that is giving it an even better outlook for people than what it had when it first came out. Some of the features that people will notice include:

– A 10.1 inch screen

– 720P full HD display

– Back mounted speaker for visual appeal

– Available in dark charcoal or light sandstone color

– Addition of smart home controls

– Ability to hear your commands from a further distance than the original Echo

These are just a few of the features that is being seen. And we would like to say that the sound is a huge improvement, and it is what makes this device one that should be considered by those who may be looking for a tablet like device that allows for smart home integration.

As with an Amazon Echo Show 2nd generation review, we do have to point out that there may still be some drawbacks of this device. One of the main ones that can be seen is that video calling on this device was not really given any updates when compared to the last release. It is still a bit awkward. However, Amazon is integrating Skype into the device for voice calling, which could make this device step up ahead of the curb.

In addition, the Echo Show has integrated with Fire TV Recast, so that you can put live TV on the screen whereas this screen is at in your home. Imagine standing at the stove looking up a recipe but deciding that you would rather watch the professionals cook this?! It could change the way that you decide to cook from here on out.

The Verdict

While looking at the Amazon Echo Show 2nd Generation review, it can be seen that some definite improvements were made that give it a better showing against the competition. Smart home devices are becoming all the rage, and Amazon did a poor showing first out of the gate. However, the Amazon Echo 2nd generation is a step in the right direction. While it may not have everything that the competitors do, it is a great starting device that shows potential for those who are looking to buy such a device.
