The editors didn't like
There still aren't a lot of useful or entertaining animations in common Alexa interactions
Feature-rich touch-screen interface, Friendly design with big, bright screen, Powerful audio, Web browser
Heavily sculpted sound emphasizes extremes and downplays midrange, Screen only supports 720p video

Excellent audio with bass, Convenient smart-home hub, Two-way doorbell and camera audio
Clunky browsing experience, Nasty screen glare
The Echo Show has become much, much more than just Alexa with a screen—it feels like a top-tier speaker, a miniature television, a smart-home hub and a sturdy tablet all in one. While I love using the thing, there’s still room for improvement. Ironically...

Much improved sound quality, Bigger screen is much nicer to look at, Design is more pleasing to the eye, Software is more capable and easier to use

Big, bright display is significantly larger than 1st Gen, Great audio with plenty of bass, Alexa's display-capable skills have improved considerably, Smart home hub functionality is easy to use, Price unchanged from original Echo Show
Smart hub functionality only covers the basics, Browser feels a little half-baked, Searching for recipes by voice is limited
Looking back at what I wrote about the original Echo Show, I'm struck by how many of my criticisms Amazon has addressed in less than 16 months. Multi-room audio, individual user voice-recognition, and the ability to use the touchscreen as a smart home con...
Improved streamlined design Outstanding sound quality, Supports NBC and Hulu (including Hulu Live), Built-in browser lets you watch YouTube, Step-by-step recipes with video instructions
Display quality is only so-so, Isn't fully compatible with Nest Hello video doorbell, Not compatible with YouTube TV
Amazon's latest Echo Show is a huge upgrade over the original. It has a more modern design, fantastic audio quality, comes with two built-in browsers and features step-by-step recipes; some even have video tutorials. It now has more robust entertainment o...
Abstract: A common criticism of smart speakers with a screen is that they're just a tablet with a voice and some speakers. The entire concept of this genre of devices began with the Echo Show in 2017, and is now spreading to Google Assistant-powered third-party de...

Expensive, No Z-Wave integration

The new Echo Show is easily one of the best smart displays available, and is an upgrade in almost every way over the old one, but at £220 it's also pretty expensive.At its core the Show is just an Alexa-powered smart speaker, and so most of its functions...
