Amazon Echo Show 10 (3rd Gen, 2021)

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

Flimsy-feeling plastic construction

Motorized screen automatically rotates to track you Loud, crisp sound Built-in Zigbee hub for smart home device control Useful home security features

Motion tracking can occasionally feel awkward Bass sometimes takes a back seat in the audio balance

The third-generation Amazon Echo Show 10 smart display delivers powerful audio and adds a motorized base that lets the screen and camera rotate as you move around.

Quiet, efficient motorized base opens up more placement flexibility ; Alexa keeps getting more capable ; Decent room-filling speakers ; Good privacy focus for camera and motion

Video and music integrations are still underwhelming ; Motion may not be as useful as Amazon bills it ; Expensive compared to other smart displays

Display can automatically rotate so it's always facing you Significant improvements in display brightness and image quality Strong home security features, including Alexa Guard and the subscription-based Alexa Guard Plus Very good audio performance

You might find the tracking feature to be creepy (it can be disabled) Wi-Fi and Zigbee radios onboard, but there’s no Z-Wave or Thread support Needs at least 5 inches of clearance all the way around if it’s to fully rotate

Privacy and security features ; Dramatically-improved camera ; Stellar sound quality ; Sustainability features ; Ultimate multi-tasker

Most expensive Echo device ; A bit large and cumbersome for many spaces ; Some security features require additional Alexa Guard + subscription ; Some may still be turned off by another camera in their home

The Echo Show 10 (3rd Gen) is the most feature-packed and ambitious device ever made by Amazon. It combines a good screen with great speakers and a surprisingly capable camera to deliver the best all-around multimedia experience in a smart speaker....

Swivel display ; Improved Alexa ; Feature loaded

Weight ; Underwhelming audio ; Expensive

To conclude, what can I say. The Echo Show 10 is the best smart display I’ve ever used and tested, it’s got some cool features, but yeah, it’s hard to just recommend for the price. That said, if you do the math, you’ve almost got an Echo Studio in the...

Large and bright display ; Great sound quality and can get fairly loud ; The new design is unique ; The rotating screen is cool and silent (but also creepy for some) ; Built-in Zigbee hub for better smart home capabilities

Alexa has some trouble hearing ; Expensive compared to other Echo Show devices ; Required a sizable surface area

The new Echo Show 10 is a great Alexa-powered smart display with a cool rotating screen and room-filling sound.
