Buying call

Buy the Echo Show 5 if you want a small Alexa screen for your nightstand or desk: reviewers praised its improved audio, faster responses, plenty of volume for the size, clever nighttime features and low price. Skip it if you want great sound or video calls, because it can't produce deep bass or crisp highs and the camera is mediocre. It has no 3.5mm port and doesn't support Netflix.
