Echo Show 5 (3rd GEN) vs Show 5 (2nd GEN): Video, Sound, Speed Tests

[@Swiftness0427]

Echo Show 5 (3rd Gen, 2023 release) | Smart display with 2x the bass and clearer sound | Charcoal now $39.99 on Amazon thinking about upgrading. 🤔🤔

[@mick2246]

Im interested in the speed ,,gen 2 compared 3 ,,is it much faster the 3 rd one ?

[@usamasaid2860]

I’m undecided since I’m new on the ecosystem so I’m between the 2nd gen echo 8 and 3rd echo gen on the smaller size

[@TheFrenchGlow]

Hi! I recommend the echo show 8 if they are close in price. The larger screen and better sound makes a big difference when you are deciding where to place your echo shows. Echo show 5 are great as an intercom, small display for nightstand but the echo show 8 can be used in almost any room.

@@TheFrenchGlow at the end I bought the echo 15 hehe I saw a discount on Amazon that I couldn’t miss thanks for answer

[@mohsinsheikh8076]

Nice video and good synopsis

[@TheFrenchGlow]

Thank you!

[@jessif.]

Thank you, that helps a lot!

[@TheFrenchGlow]

Thank you!

I'm still using the 1st gen, might need to upgrade to the 3rd gen.

[@jmebabs]

I’m very curious why the 3rd gen is only $40 and the 2nd gen is around $90 🤔

[@kaneinthekitchen9818]

The 3rd gen is $90 but the echo show 5s are on sale aloy

[@lesterrodriguez5765]

The reason for this is that netflix is supported on the 2nd generation and then they removed it on the 3rd generation. You thought you're getting a good value buying the 3rd generation but no.

[@diggler306]

The lack of Netflix is curious on the 3rd Gen. Who or what is responsible for that? Will it be available eventually? Why the regression? So assuming I own neither of these (which I don't), which one do I buy? In what scenario do I buy one over the other?

[@TheFrenchGlow]

If you can wait and the echo show 5 does not have enough tech for you, the new echo show 8 has drastic improvements already over the show 5 with better camera, tracking, and ai features. But I don't think it comes with Netflix either.

[@ken2199]

Please help. Amazon can't help me. They cant figure out whats wrong with my Echo Show 5 3rd Gen even they already replaced my unit. Whenever Spotify is playing, the song always freezes on the last 15 seconds before the end. And its painfully slow even on responding. Unlike my Echo Dot, always fast and seamless. I even talked to Amazon rep and we tried everything and still did not solve the issue.

[@Blueyes92]

Can the echo show 3rd gen when using Amazon kids+ subscription does it show the words to the story or pictures if the story has any?

[@mdluk199]

Good review

[@ulissesdalcol]

even your second gen is faster than mine. For me the best still is echo dot 3, I have a echo show 5 2 gen, echo dot 5 gen, and the first one has faster responses, listens everywhere, good sound quality.

[@paulbogartu9897]

2:41 so they're both 2nd gen? lol

[@davekirkey8269]

Thanks for the video... I just bought 4 of the Gen2 or $19.99 ea seems like a great deal at that price! For our use and your suggestions I could not see spending $90 bucks ea for the Gen 3

[@TheFrenchGlow]

Yes! They are so similar, I can barely tell the difference except in certain circumstances

[@mohitprabhat2449]

whr did u get that deal?

[@deandre22]

$19.99??? I need 3 😅

[@j.louisrodriguez2025]

I got Gen 3 for 40 bucks at best buy what a steal...however the only big difference I noticed was the sound..

[@pfineman]

Can you use the same mount or battery base stand of my 2nd gen to the current 3rd gen?

[@rollajay5301]

Is it loud?

[@abrafkalif]

Thank you

[@williampennjr.4448]

are the stands interchangeable?

[@TheFrenchGlow]

Hi which stands are you checking on?

[@williampennjr.4448]

@@TheFrenchGlow uh. what is the subject of the video? Echo show 5- 3g and 2g.

[@deandre22]

I need one of these in my bathroom because my dot acts stupid now lol

[@TheFrenchGlow]

Hard reset the dot to see if that helps but with the show, you can watch TV in the bathroom. Lol

[@fightnight14]

Be careful because the echo show can be used as surveillance 😂

[@deepakkishinchand8994]

How so? Once the camera is covered....its a no show! 🤣

[@deandre22]

@@deepakkishinchand8994 lol

[@rencefernan6588]

but the dot has a best sound

[@Halb_Wert_Zeit]

As long as alexa stays as "not smart" as it is right now, I really don't see why I should upgrade from a 40€-50€ speaker to a 110€ one. Maybe it's better in english, but over here alexa does not want to understand 90% of what I ask it to do. Frustrating.

[@NomnomEater]

Disappointed that there's still I think bezel around the screen being that is the third generation.

[@NurseArielPhysiotherapists]

2nd gen still the best

[@theattorney6072]

Thx ! Very usefull. No Netflix is Bad news

[@bcardamone]

The gen 2 design I tend to like better
