**The Amazon Echo Show 10: A Review**

As I stood in front of the Amazon Echo Show 10, I couldn't help but feel a sense of excitement and curiosity about this latest addition to the Echo family. The device boasts a large 10-inch screen, a feature that sets it apart from its predecessors. But is this just a gimmick, or does it truly make a difference in our daily lives? Let's take a closer look.

**Privacy Concerns**

One of the first things that struck me about the Echo Show 10 was its camera. With hundreds of data points used to interpret my movements and location, I couldn't help but wonder what this meant for my privacy. Would it be possible for someone to reverse-engineer this technology and create an image of me from these data points? Amazon assures us that this is not the case, as all processing is done locally on the device and no video footage is stored. However, with a great big camera on the front of the device, I couldn't shake off the feeling that it was just a matter of time before someone figured out how to use this technology against me.

**Design and Features**

The Echo Show 10 itself is a sleek and compact device, measuring in at 5.5 inches tall and 8.6 inches wide. It's designed to be front-facing, with speakers that are perfectly positioned for optimal sound quality. I was impressed by the device's smooth brushless motor, which provides silent operation and makes it easy to track my movements around the room. The device is also equipped with physical buttons on top for volume control, muting, and a slider to hide the camera. While the design may not be perfect – the chunky bezels around the screen do make it slightly more prominent than some of its competitors – I couldn't deny the quality of construction that goes into this device.

**Sound Quality**

One area where the Echo Show 10 truly shines is in its sound quality. Compared to other smart speakers, such as the 4th gen Amazon Echo, the Show 10 produces a richer and more bass-heavy sound. I was able to appreciate the nuances of music playback, and even noticed that the device seemed to be more accurate in reproducing higher-frequency sounds. Whether you're watching videos or listening to music, the audio quality is definitely a highlight of this device.

**Use Cases**

As someone who primarily uses their Echo devices for changing smart lights, setting timers, and playing music, I was curious to see how the Echo Show 10 would fit into my workflow. The answer was overwhelmingly positive – having a screen on the device has made a huge difference in my ability to keep track of what's going on without having to ask multiple times for information. My wife, who loves to cook and bake, also appreciated the ability to watch YouTube videos or follow recipes while she works.

**Downsides**

Of course, no device is perfect, and there are a few downsides to consider. The 360-degree motion feature, which allows the camera to track me around the room, can be limited by the available space in your home. If you have a smaller living space, this feature may not be as useful or practical as it would be in a larger house. Additionally, the chunky bezels around the screen do make the device slightly more prominent than some of its competitors.

**Verdict**

Overall, I was thoroughly impressed with the Amazon Echo Show 10. While there are certainly downsides to consider – such as the limited availability of physical space and the chunky design – I couldn't deny the quality of construction and the numerous features that make this device so useful. If you're in the market for a new smart speaker or display, I would definitely recommend giving the Echo Show 10 a look. And if you already own an Echo device, it may be worth considering upgrading to this latest model.

**Conclusion**

The Amazon Echo Show 10 is a powerful and versatile device that sets itself apart from its competitors with its large 10-inch screen and advanced camera features. While there are certainly downsides to consider – such as the limited availability of physical space and the chunky design – I couldn't deny the quality of construction and the numerous features that make this device so useful. If you're in the market for a new smart speaker or display, I would definitely recommend giving the Echo Show 10 a look.

"WEBVTTKind: captionsLanguage: enwho is the tech chat according to wikipedia chattahoochee technical college is a public technical college in the youth hey guys i'm tom of techchap and i've had this the uh well come on face to front the new echo show 10 for a couple of weeks now and as much as i really do like this i must admit at the start i did feel a little bit uneasy as it kept following me around then again i think we all felt the same thing when we bought our first amazon echos or google dots and brought a voice assistant into the house plus you can simply do this to hide the camera and turn motion off the thing is this isn't exactly cheap the show 10 will cost you about 240 pounds or 250 dollars which is about twice as much as the echo show eight and actually right now because that's on sale this is about four times more expensive so is it worth it well coming from an echo show eight we're getting a bigger ten inch screen as it says on the tin a slightly refined ui as well as a higher quality 13 megapixel camera for video calling along with better speakers it's a 2.1 setup with two tweeters and a woofer and it actually sounds really good it's also a zigbee hub you've got netflix and amazon video apps although youtube still plays through the web browser you can pick between using silk or firefox plus you can use the alexa app on your phone to drop in and even use it a bit like a remote security camera it's basically an amazon echo with a 10 inch tablet screen stuck on the front and it can swivel to follow you around so there are a few nice upgrades with this and it does feel like the most sort of dirty feature packed amazon device you can buy with the alexa assistant but really i think the premium you're paying for with this is the fact that it can swivel and move around and follow you when you first set this up it does a little motion tuning so it spins left and then right to see how far it can go and then you can adjust it and set where its default position is so for example if you put it in the middle of the room uh maybe on your kitchen island or this is my breakfast bar it now has a full 360 range of movement i can do it myself which actually disables the motion or i can turn it back on and then it will track me which will talk about how it does that in a second but i don't know how many people would be able to use it in this sort of optimum setup i found myself uh usually putting it in the corner of my kitchen so i only get sort of 40 50 degree field of motion but i just don't know if this motion is going to be really that helpful for most setups but how does it know where you are and also when it should follow you well the show 10 uses audio location first so if you're talking or saying the wake word and then it also uses what amazon calls computer vision which is not to be confused with one division which you actually can't watch on this because it doesn't support disney plus right now amazon are keen to point out that there's no face tracking with this and it doesn't actually record any video of you the computer vision uses hundreds of data points so shapes colors movement to interpret where you are and then follow and they say it can't be reverse engineered into an image and it's never stored plus all the processing is done on the device locally obviously privacy is a big question when you've got something like this in your house with a great big camera on the front but it does make me feel better that really all this is seeing is some computer juggle nonsense that no human would be able to actually interpret or see and it all works eerily well it's also dead silent it's using a brushless motor in here which is smooth you can't hear anything actually as you can see it's tracking me now which may be a little bit difficult because i'm really close up to it but it does a good job following me which is not only useful so you can always see what's on the screen particularly if you're watching a show or on a video call but the speakers are also designed to be more front firing and less omni-directional like other echo devices so they're always pointing at you now to be honest i mainly use my echo devices or the show 10 in this case for changing my smart lights around the house setting timers and also playing some music so i was kind of curious how this would compare with the latest uh 4th gen amazon echo and to my ear the show 10 is a fair bit better quality it sounds richer and there's definitely more bass but have a listen side by side and let me know which one you think sounds better in the comments below don't try to pay me away now my wife sarah loves to cook and bake and we normally have the latest echo in our kitchen which i've now replaced with the show 10. and she says that having a screen and actually being able to see timers and reminders without having to keep asking how long's on the timer is really helpful plus you can watch how to youtube videos or follow recipes i genuinely think having a screen is a big plus although i just don't know if i necessarily needed to follow me around downsides well as i mentioned earlier i think a lot of people just won't have the room or the countertop space to put this to really fully take advantage of the 360 motion which again limits just how useful having motion is in the first place but then again everyone's setup will be different you can also see that we do get these pretty chunky bezels around the 10 inch screen so it is quite a big device to have around i do quite like it in this white color although i think if you wanted to blend in a little bit more you should go for the black one and also then the screen sort of blends into those chunky bezels as well but on the flip side it does mean it's a little bit more protective because inevitably when you set this up it's going to bang against something maybe a wall or you know someone's going to put a coffee cup down and bash it so you do want a little bit protection and of course we do also have these physical buttons on the top for the volume as well as muting it and also this physical slider which hides the camera and turns off the motion so yeah slightly chunky bezels but i think overall it's a really well made bit of kit the screen is also just above the basic 720p hd resolution so it's not the sharpest screen in the world but i don't think it's really a problem because you're really that close to it anyway to notice but i suppose considering the price and the fact that you might want to watch videos or movies on here full hd would have been nice but the screen is still bright and punchy and it does look good and i would also like a dedicated youtube app at some point it's just not a slick using it for the web browser so i don't know if i could justify 240 pounds on this although now i have it here i think i would miss not having it so i would suggest maybe waiting for an amazon prime day or black friday deal before picking this up but i don't think you'll be disappointed when you do so what do you make of the echo show 10 would you be tempted to buy one of these and also is the fact that it can rotate and follow you a big deal or not really bothered by it let me know in the comments below i'll also leave a link in the description if you want to check this out if you've got any other
