Amazon Echo Show 15 Review: Large Screen, Larger Utility | Digital Trends

The Amazon Echo Show 15 combines a large screen and a suite of different widgets to become one of the most useful smart displays yet.

Huge 15.6-inch screen

Lacks customization and personalization options

“Its strong resemblance to a picture frame suggests the promise of the ideal smart home: a living space filled with normal, expected items that serve more than one purpose.”

Amazon Echo Show 15 Review

Attractive design ; Large screen displays lots of info ; Good for video playback ; Fire TV integration

Pricey ; Underwhelming camera quality ; Middling audio performance

The Amazon Echo Show 15 can be easily mounted on your wall and works as a Fire TV, but other smart displays offer better audio and camera quality if you have space on a counter or table.

Amazon Echo Show 15 review: Alexa’s on your wall

The original idea for Amazon's Echo Show was a large screen-based device that would offer up relevant, glanceable information for the modern family, replacing outdated devices like bulletin boards, paper calendars, and sticky notes on the fridge. In...

Solid hardware Fire TV interface makes for an excellent kitchen TV Native YouTube apps Big, bright screen Picture-in-picture function is useful

Poor camera quality (especially considering the price) Snappier than other Shows but still slow Fire TV interface relies on a remote control Limited customization options

If you’ve been wanting a wall-mounted smart display, this is really your only ready-to-use option and will be a great addition to your kitchen if you’re happy with the limited ecosystem. The Fire TV and improved photo frame modes make this the best...

Amazon Echo Show 15

The Echo Show 15's large display is appealing, but it would be even better if it had a higher-res LCD panel and camera.

15.5-inch display ; Alexa widgets are a great addition to the user interface ; Can be oriented in landscape or portrait mode

Relatively low-res display and camera ; No Zigbee smart home hub ; Must be wall mounted unless you pay extra for accessories ; Weak audio performance

The Alexa widgets made possible by the larger form factor are a terrific addition to the Echo experience, making the Echo Show 15 the perfect family hub. But the low-res panel and camera, anemic audio performance, and absence of a Zigbee hub are letdowns.

Amazon Echo Show 15 review: Smart display and TV in one

Amazon Echo Show 15 on the wall, are you the fairest smart speaker of all? Amazon's latest Alexa-powered smart display is its largest yet. At $249, it's also one of the most expensive. And, because it's meant to be hung on a wall, it tries to shake up...

Large screen Widgets are really helpful Visual ID displays personalized content Fire TV built in

Mediocre audio Needs a better camera

In some ways, the Echo Show 15 is like the Samsung Family Hub refrigerator without the refrigerator. It’s meant to act as a sort of focal point for the family to check up on what everyone’s doing for the day. Mostly, it works. It also lacks the...

Amazon Echo Show 15 review: Smart display and TV in one

The Amazon Echo Show 15 puts Alexa on a wall and gives you a big screen with helpful widgets, but the sound could be better

Large screen ; Widgets are really helpful ; Visual ID displays personalized content ; Fire TV built in

Mediocre audio ; Needs a better camera

Get the Amazon Echo Show 15 if you want Alexa on your wall, but it’s pricey for what it does.

Echo Show 15 Review: A Little Too Amazon

For years, I've wanted a control center for my smart home—a place where I can look to see the status of all my gadgets and even control them on the fly. I thought the $249.99 Echo Show 15 might be the answer to my wishes. Unfortunately, Amazon had to...

Big clear screen ; Visual ID is useful ; Multiple mount options

Widgets are lacking ; Speakers are tinny

No One Needs Amazon's Wall-Mounted Echo Show

This big-ass smart display is gorgeous to look at, but the software and camera need serious work.

Works horizontal or vertical, gorgeous screen, plays 1080p video

Widgets are underutilized, Visual ID is forgettable, camera resolution could be so much better

Amazon Echo Show 15 review: Alexa on the big screen

Size and versatility make the Echo Show 15 a sensible organization hub for tech-savvy families.

Same price as the smaller, less versatile Echo Show 10

Less powerful camera, audio specs than Echo Show 10

Review: The Amazon Echo Show 15 balances form and function wonderfully

Just like with smartphones, smart displays are getting bigger each year. The new Amazon Echo Show 15 makes good use of its size in many ways with only a couple of missteps.

Excellent, large display ; Perfect for busy families ; Widgets make great use of the screen size ; Can be orientated in portrait or landscape

Visual ID if finicky ; Needs more widgets ; Rear firing speakers can be an issue

The Echo Show 15 blends the voice control of Alexa wonderfully with a sharp 15.6-inch display that offers various bits of visual information at a glance, thanks to the widgets. Whether it's hanging on a wall or resting on a tabletop, the Echo Show 15...
