I researched a smart display for my home, and I keep seeing people talk about the best Amazon Echo Show smart display. I already have a regular Echo Dot, and I love using it for music, alarms, and smart lights. Now I want something with a screen for video calls, watching recipes in the kitchen, and checking my home camera.

I checked reviews on TechRadar and Amazon, and these two models seem to be the best options:

Amazon Echo Show 5 (3rd Gen)

Amazon Echo Show 8 (2nd Gen)

From what I have read, the Echo Show 8 seems to give more value for the money, clearer video and better sound than the 5. But the Echo Show 5 is smaller and easier to move around, so I am a bit confused about which one to go for.

So I wanted to ask:
Which one do you think is the best Amazon Echo Show smart display for the price?
Anyone using one for a few months — how’s the camera, sound, and Alexa performance?

Would love to hear your honest thoughts before I buy. Thanks, everyone

Wrong place to ask. This is for Arlo cameras.
