Echo Show connects to Alexa to give you vivid visuals on a 5.5” screen with crisp full sound—all in a compact design that fits in any room, in any home. See on-screen lyrics with Amazon Music. Set alarms and timers. Catch up on news highlights and film trailers. Check weather and traffic before you head out.

Catch up on today’s news and sports highlights. Watch TV series on Prime Video and Netflix. Follow step-by-step recipes. See song lyrics (UK only) and album art with Amazon Music. The perfect size to bring all this and more to any room, at a glance.

You can call almost anyone hands-free, including UK mobile and residential numbers (from UK only. Emergency calling not supported), other Echo devices, the Alexa app and Skype. Also make video calls to other Echo devices with a screen, the Alexa app or Skype.

You can also link Alexa with your EE and Vodafone UK mobile phone account to ask Alexa to make and answer your mobile calls.

With the Drop In feature enabled for room-to-room calling, quickly connect with Echo devices in your home. Let your household know when dinner is ready, ask someone for help with a chore or remind the kids to go to sleep—without having to raise your voice.

Alexa and Echo devices are built with multiple layers of privacy. For example, your voice is streamed to the cloud only after your device detects the wake word (e.g. “Alexa”). You can also turn the microphone and camera off with the press of a button. The built-in cover lets you easily cover the camera.

Manage compatible smart home devices on the simple interactive display, or use your voice. Control lights and switches, set thermostats and view security cameras.

Use the ambient sunrise lighting feature to get your day started right. You can also choose from several fun clock face designs.

With tens of thousands of skills (and counting), Alexa is always getting smarter. Skills are like apps and help you do more like play True or False or learn something new with wikiHow. Just say, “Alexa, help me get started with skills”.
