Amazon Echo Show 10 (3rd Gen, 2021)

Smooth and quiet panning ; Effectively doubles as a security camera ; Incredible audio performance

Flimsy-feeling plastic construction

Motorized screen automatically rotates to track you Loud, crisp sound Built-in Zigbee hub for smart home device control Useful home security features

Motion tracking can occasionally feel awkward Bass sometimes takes a back seat in the audio balance

The third-generation Amazon Echo Show 10 smart display delivers powerful audio and adds a motorized base that lets the screen and camera rotate as you move around.

Large, responsive touchscreen ; Added security camera functionality ; Ease of use

Quiet, efficient motorized base opens up more placement flexibility ; Alexa keeps getting more capable ; Decent room-filling speakers ; Good privacy focus for camera and motion

Video and music integrations are still underwhelming ; Motion may not be as useful as Amazon bills it ; Expensive compared to other smart displays

Display can automatically rotate so it's always facing you Significant improvements in display brightness and image quality Strong home security features, including Alexa Guard and the subscription-based Alexa Guard Plus Very good audio performance

You might find the tracking feature to be creepy (it can be disabled) Wi-Fi and Zigbee radios onboard, but there’s no Z-Wave or Thread support Needs at least 5 inches of clearance all the way around if it’s to fully rotate

Spinning functionality works well ; Large display ; Doubles as a pretty good smart speaker ; Alexa remains a great voice assistant

Expensive ; Still lacking app support across the board ; Large display bezels ; Demands more room than ever

A useful, but inessential upgrade to the Echo Show
