Amazon Echo Show 5 (3rd Gen, 2023 Release) Smart Display with Alexa

A compact 5.5-inch kitchen display for timers, recipes, cameras and video calls.

The third-generation Echo Show 5 pairs Alexa with a 5.5-inch touchscreen, making it a natural countertop companion: run multiple named cooking timers, pull up recipes and unit conversions hands-free, and check compatible doorbell or kitchen cameras on screen. The 2023 model adds an extra microphone for better voice pickup over kitchen noise and improved bass over the previous generation. A 2MP camera with a physical shutter cover supports video calls and remote check-ins.

What we like

Visual timers and recipe steps are far easier to follow mid-cook than voice-only answers
Improved speaker with deeper bass and clearer vocals than the 2nd Gen
Built-in 2MP camera with physical shutter and mic-off controls for privacy
Works as a smart-home dashboard for lights, plugs and cameras

Good to know

5.5-inch screen is small for reading long recipes at a distance — the Show 8 suits that better
Camera is only 2MP, so video calls look soft
Full value depends on staying in Amazon's Alexa ecosystem; some features nudge toward Prime/Alexa+
