The smart display is still pretty compact, so you won’t have trouble finding a spot for it in the room where you want to place it, while it also offers all the capabilities of Alexa.

The third-generation Amazon Echo Show 10 places the 10.1-inch HD screen on a rotating basis, which allows the display to pan and cover the full 360 degrees. The device rotates as it follows your movements around the room, so you’ll always have a proper line of sight to what’s on the screen during video calls with the 13MP camera or while you’re watching streaming content, for example. The third-generation Amazon Echo Show 10 is also a powerful speaker, as it packs two 1-inch tweeters and a 3-inch woofer.
