The speakers in the Echo Show 10 are great. It will dim and change colour depending on the lighting in the room. There are times when you need to use the touch controls, and I constantly found myself getting frustrated with it in these moments. Yes, the device is probably supposed to be used mainly with voice commands, but it’s pretty hard to tell Alexa to find the exact video you’re looking for on YouTube without resorting to touch input. I often would drag the menu from the top of the screen, only for it to pop up around 10 seconds later. It feels more like using an old-school GPS from the turn of the century as opposed to a new product released in 2021. The touch sensitivity and accuracy is poor. What was an issue, though, was the touch controls. But how many people are sitting down to watch a TV show or movie on their Echo Show 10?, It’s more for playing something in the background while concentrating on something else like cooking, so the picture quality wasn’t a major issue. The display isn’t as clear or sharp as premium handheld devices. If you’re looking for an iPad-quality display on your smart home device, this isn’t it.

The Echo Show 10 boasts a 10.1-inch 1280×800 display. To accommodate this, it has obstacle detection, where it recognises walls or obstacles and won’t try to rotate beyond those points. It didn’t sit as nicely as my previous Echo device when placed against a wall, but I would much rather it look a bit weird than have to manually turn my device like I had to with my older Echo. Because the screen can rotate, it’s best placed on a floating counter or on an open corner, neither of which I have in my kitchen area. The design does make it a bit hard to place, though. For smaller rooms, it may not be as useful. I can be cooking on one side of the room, move to the other side to do the dishes, and the screen will still be in perfect view. The rotating screen makes it easy to watch TV shows and videos from anywhere. In my house, the Echo Show 10 is in the kitchen, which I’m sure is the case for many households. Depending on the layout of the room you have it in, it’s a great feature. The brushless motor inside the device is incredibly quiet, and its tracking is accurate. It also allows for motion tracking in which the screen will follow you as you move around the room, turned on via the button on top or by saying, “Alexa, follow me.” When Alexa is summoned, the screen will spin to look at the person speaking. The 10.1″ HD screen attaches to a cylindrical base allowing it to rotate 350°. The Echo Show 10 is entirely different and undoubtedly unique. The familiar design, found in previous Echo Show devices, is gone.
