Echo Show 10 (Newest gen) | HD smart display with motion and Alexa | Charcoal Fabric

Love this, ideal for when I m cooking and following recipes from internet, the screen follows my voice

I love it

Thought it looked like an iPad on top of the first speaker Apple fetched out, but I decided to get one and I’m glad I did. It’s really good. I have ring cameras and it works well with them with the screen being bigger. You can see more and you have the screen follow you it’s great you just have to say Alexa and the screen moves to the direction you are in and the speaker sounds really good as well. I’m going to get one for the kitchen as well and you can monitor inside your home as well with the camera.It also has face recognition on as wellIt’s easy to set up, just plug it in follow the instructions that Alexa asks you can you open runningAnd also when is the new update it’s just hard if you are smart bulbs and the camera is on if no one is in the room turn the light off so it’s helping you just save on your electricity billAnyone who is upgrading from an echo show,8 second generation and as got one of the plastic shelves you do not have to get a new one. The echo show 10/3 generation fits on it fineI don’t know whether this is just the new update, I was listening to the radio while hoovering the Hoover was louder than the radio, so all of my for echo echo 10 third generation shows turned off i’ve got four of these now around my flap and everyone that comes into my flat they’re blown away with them and when I tell them if you pay the subscription with your phone company, there’s no messing about looking for your phone because your speaker knows where you are and the speaker you are closest to the phone call will go through to that one. I’m glad I upgraded from echo show eight

Really needs a night vision as when I am away at night it’s just a blank screen for the price I would have thought it would

I bought this Echo show 10 to upgrade my existing echo which now use upstairs and I'm really glad I did.It's so much more interactive and can be lots of fun to use, It also performs really well and I'm still discovering more and more things I can do with it like printing off recipes and shopping lists also colouring pages for the kids. it also links to my lighting and my door bell and shows me what's going on. I'm Really happy with my purchase although I think it could have been a bit cheaper.

Got this as i work away most of the time. And wife wanted something to be able to see the front door Ring camera. And watch things on.Also handy for us to talk/ video call while I'm away..It's also handy for keeping an eye on our Parrots 🦜 while we are out.It's like a little pet that sits in corner.. responds when you talk to it. And will turn to follow you.There are some limitations and things that could be better. But then you are always finding new things you can do with it.Sound quality is bit heavy in Base. But is good.Picture quality is good.So I'd say it was a good purchase for us. Very happy with it.

I bought this to replace our previous Echo Show 10 model. While there are definitely some big improvements, it still feels as though the newest Echo Show 10 is missing some basic features that I would have expected to be included in newer models by now.So let's start with what's better than the previous model:1) Processing power - unlike the previous model, this one doesn't stutter or freeze. It handles things pretty smoothly.2) It moves - it's a handy feature in an open plan room, especially in a kitchen/ diner, where you're moving about the room and might be cooking, following a recipe or playing music. It's also a great feature for checking in on the dogs if I'm out.Now let's look at what's worse:1) Sometimes I find myself shouting at Alexa to even get her to hear me on this model. It can be very frustrating and doesn't work as well as the previous version. And even when it finally does hear me, it doesn't always get it right. I've changed the name on our devices to 'Ziggy' and the number of times she's played music by Ziggy Marley is extremely frustrating.2) The sound quality is good. I wouldn't say it's worse than the old model, but it's different and the bass isn't as punchy.Now let's look at what needs to be improved:1) Volume control - When you adjust the volume, the volume of everything is increased or decreased. I don't want Alexa booming at me when I'm playing music loud. She doesn't need to as whatever she is playing is reduced as soon as it hears her name so it can hear what you're saying. I've never understood why she needs to shout back at you when the music volume is automatically lowered! I want to be able to control the volume independently for voice responses, music, alarms and notifications.2) Personalisation - Amazon has a habit of creating very bland alarm tones, notifications and jingles (like the power on jingle when you start up a Firestick that sounds like tripping over in mud). Some of us would like to hear a futuristic tone, acoustic sounds, nature sounds, jazz sounds etc. I would like to make my Alexa my own, not what a megacorp decides I should like.3) Output - I want to be able to play my music through Bluetooth speakers, but I only want the music to be played through the speakers, nothing else... No Alexa voice, no alarms, no notifications, no recipe instructions... Just my music. Notifications and Alexa voice etc could still be played through my Echo but I'd like to keep them separate.4) Design - The design of the Echo Show 10 is nice but it's not very futuristic. The edge/bezel of the screen is still far too thick. The camera needs to move to a central point above the screen. There is nothing "wrong" with the design. It's just when customers buy an Echo, they buy it because it's convenient and also because the idea is still a little bit futuristic. It would be nice to see a sexy and sleek Echo device that looks as though it's come from 2050, not 2015. The whole point of Alexa when Amazon first released it was that it was futuristic. Back then it didn't need to look futuristic because the whole concept was. But speaking to Alexa is now a normal part of our lives so the look of the device is now even more important than it was originally.5) Privacy - I would really like to see much more on device processing.6) Video calls - I use videos calls 90% of the time rather than voice calls on my phone. I would use video calling on my Echoes too if the apps were available. It would be great to see more video call apps included with the Echo... Google Meet, Messenger, WhatsApp, Zoom and Skype.So am I glad I upgraded? Definitely YES. Using the new Echo Show 10 is nice, cleaner and the processing power increase makes a huge difference. But I'm just a little bit disappointed that the features, design and technology haven't really progressed that far. I've really only bought this upgrade as using Alexa has become a necessary part of our every day life in our household. It controls lights, TVs, plugs, music and much more. Our old Echo was showing its age and this new one is really only a small upgrade but in my opinion, the next version needs a pretty massive overhaul of some basic features and design to stay ahead of the competition.Update: I've had this a while now and everything was ok until it started showing adverts. I don't want adverts in my kitchen countertop. It's intrusive and cheapens the whole idea of having an Echo Show. As a result, I've now dropped my rating to just 1 star as the adverts haven't stopped. I won't be purchasing any more Echo Shows if this is what's happening from now on. Either Amazon is upfront and tells customers adverts are a part of a product or they should allow customers to get a discount if they allow adverts on their Echo device. Introducing advers AFTER someone has already purchased your product is a quick way for customers to lose trust in Amazon.

Sound quality is perfect, it is a great smart gift and value for the money.
