It may still be October, but Black Friday deals are already down the pike. Case in point? Amazon Echo Show 5 smart display . This early Black Friday deal slashes the price by 44 percent, bringing it down to what we saw on Prime Day.
This sale is for the latest version of the device released last year. The 3rd Gen Echo Show 5 easily made our list . We said “it works like a star alarm clock”. It has an ambient light sensor that automatically adjusts screen brightness, a snooze function, and a sunrise alarm.
While others have criticized the small 5.5-inch screen size, we found it useful compared to competitors. The small form factor allows the screen to easily squeeze into a tight nightstand or closet.
The Show 5 has a camera that’s great for video calls, but not so good for privacy. After all, this thing was made to sit by your bed. However, it does come with a physical camera cover for the privacy conscious. The only other downside is that the sound quality here isn’t as robust as the larger models. Still, that’s a lot of smart display for $50.
