Hailed as the tech industry’s “next big thing” for a little while there a couple of years ago, the smart speaker market has slowed its growth of late. Interestingly, Amazon’s Echo-branded devices, which started this craze back in the day, seem to be losing steam, with Google and Apple coming strong from behind to make a bid for the world heavyweight vendor title.
In case you’re wondering, Amazon’s third-gen Echo Show 10 is available at $249.99 at the time of this writing, although if you’re a hardcore Alexa fan on a tight budget, you might want to wait until the e-commerce giant inevitably brings back its top $50 discount on that particular smart display model.
The 6.5MP camera itself is not as good as the 13MP shooter on the latest Echo Show 10 generation, but the sound system is pretty great, with a powerful 30W subwoofer promising to get the party started at the flick of a switch and a quick use of a simple voice command.
