Table of Contents
Before you own one, it’s easy to be skeptical about smart speakers and smart displays. When your smartphone can already search the internet, set reminders, and control smart devices, it may seem rather pointless to add another display with similar functions to our home. However, once you own one, it’s difficult to imagine your life without one.
From looking up that new recipe and watching step-by-step videos to achieve baking perfection, to setting bespoke morning wake-up calls, and checking in on your pet using the built-in camera whilst you are out – the Amazon Echo Show 5 smart display does it all and so much more.
