The little version has a rectangular wedge shape that houses a 5.5-inch screen and a single small speaker. On the other hand, the full-size Echo Show has more speakers that are better and louder. Besides that on comparing with the smaller Echo Spot, the Show 5’s design allows for a much larger screen. But its design is decidedly less fun and unique than the Spot’s cleaved softball-like shape. Users can get the Show 5 in any color you’d like, so long as it’s white or black.

This device has a chunky camera shutter that slides across the lens. For a device that will be installed in potentially millions of bedrooms around the globe, it’s an obvious and – in-use – very noticeable attempt to alleviate user privacy concerns. Coming to its functionality, by sliding the shutter, it shows bright orange tab, while the lens aperture switches from black to white and a notification pops on screen. That is there to protect the user’s privacy.

On the other hand, the shutter ensures you can keep talking to Alexa, or family and friends during drop-ins, Skype and Alexa video calls with the camera obscured. It’s a simple addition to Echo Show’s privacy features.
