A smart speaker with a screen, impressive audio quality and a little something extra

Technologically impressive motion tracking; Works beautifully for video calls; Good sound quality;

Motion setup can be fiddly;

If you want a smart display for a big space and are used to using Amazon's Alexa as a smart assistant, then the addition of motion control here is an obvious added lure - if you're willing to pay the extra for it. The only downside, really, is the lack of some integrated apps such as YouTube.

Smart motion system; Decent sound; Clear 10.1-inch display; Netflix and Prime Video compatibility; Alexa is brilliant as ever;

Operating system can still be slow in places; Some Skills aren't that visual; No app for YouTube (and still waiting for Zoom);

Motion really adds to the experience, making this the best Echo Show yet.

Good sound; Silent movement; Can view camera remotely;

Expensive; Manual tilt; No official YouTube;

An excellent upgrade on the original, the Amazon Echo Show 10 (3rd Generation) can now follow you around, pointing its display at you. From watching films to making calls, this new tech keeps the smart display front and centre for all jobs. There are some neat new features, too, including security camera monitoring, although this only really works while it's bright enough to see normally. With excellent sound quality, too, this is the best overall smart display.

Moving screen is genuinely useful; Looks fantastic; Excellent sound;

Expensive; Camera is only useful when it's light;

The 3rd-generation Amazon Echo Show 10 is the next evolution of the smart home display. A while back, a company sent me a 4-foot-tall Alexa robot that followed you around. As soon as she saw it, my daughter screamed in terror so much I had to hide the robot in a closet.

Cool rotating display, Excellent audio, Built-in smart home hub

Large, Expensive

After a couple of years in circulation, the second-generation Echo Show 10 is finally getting a proper successor, Amazon has announced. The timing is ripe considering that its last effort was the Echo Show 8, which we billed as perfection in terms of the lineup because it had that balance between size, performance, and price. In order to differentiate itself from past offerings, the Amazon Echo Show 10 (3rd Gen) is taking everything the company has learned about developing smart displays and packaging in new features that make it a more convergent gadget in the home. The headline here is how the display is fixed onto a rotating base for better visibility wherever you roam. It’s something we haven’t seen before. Beyond that, it’s a more well-rounded package that features an excellent smart speaker and a potential all-in-one security system to keep your home protected when you’re not there. Now that’s something to be happy about! As I’ve detailed already, the Amazon Echo Show 10 (3rd Gen...

Smooth and quiet panning; Effectively doubles as a security camera; Incredible audio performance;

Flimsy-feeling plastic construction;

The Amazon Echo Show is the best Echo Show yet, mainly due to its genuinely useful rotating ability. It makes apps that actually require you to look at the screen instantly more appealing, as they’re always in front of you when you look up. The speaker is also pretty good, making this is an impressively versatile Echo device. But £240 is a lot of money, and the motor doesn’t dramatically upgrade the experience. With app support still limited, the Echo Show 10 remains a so-so entertainment device, and by and large we found ourselves using ours in the same way we’ve used previous devices in the line: catching up on news, loading the odd recipe and setting timers when something has just gone in the oven. Video calling is better than before, but without Zoom or FaceTime we suspect a lot of people won’t use it much. If money is no option, you’ve got a decent-sized space for it to live in, and you’re all in on Amazon’s ecosystem, then the Echo Show 10 is probably the ultimate kitchen companion. Otherwise, there are more affordable alternatives, both with screens and without.

Spinning functionality works well; Large display; Doubles as a pretty good smart speaker; Alexa remains a great voice assistant ;

Expensive; Still lacking app support across the board; Large display bezels; Demands more room than ever;

The third-generation Echo Show 10 has something for everyone.

The display follows you now, Display is surprisingly good for its resolution, Speaker is much improved, Easily block the camera with the privacy shutter

The motion of the display is mostly useless, It needs room to turn, so it can't fit in small spaces
