The four-star Echo Show 11 is down to its lowest ever price for Prime Day
One of our favourite Amazon Echo devices is down to its lowest ever price for Prime Day.
With an 11-inch, full HD screen, the Echo Show 11 is a good-sized smart home hub for streaming content, viewing recipes and managing your paired smart home devices. Although there’s no HDR support, the display size and resolution ensure content looks clear, with bright images and decent contrast too.
By default, the display will show a slideshow of either your own or pre-set Amazon photos, alongside additional information including news headlines and recipe ideas – making this an ideal device for the kitchen. The display is customisable too, so you can pick and choose exactly what you want to see.
There’s also Visual ID built-in which uses the camera to detect who’s standing in front of the device, and will show personalised information accordingly too.
Naturally as an Amazon device, the Echo Show is fitted with Alexa, which means you won’t even need to lift a finger to control your devices, as you can simply just use your voice to turn certain gadgets on or off. You can also use Alexa to set timers, alarms and get reminders on your calendars and reminders.
However, you don’t have to use your voice for everything – though it’s certainly a convenient way of controlling the device. Instead, you can control your connected devices simply by the touchscreen.
Otherwise, the Echo Show 11 is fitted with a 2.8-inch woofer and dual full-range drivers. In real-world terms, that means it’s powerful enough to handle bass at volumes up to around 75%.
Overall we awarded the Echo Show 11 with a four-star rating, with Home Technology Editor Dave Ludlow concluding “excellent audio and zippy performance, built around a large screen makes this the ultimate smart display.”
