In addition to the Fire TV Stick Lite, the Amazon Echo Show 8 and Echo Show 5 smart displays are also available as certified and refurbished models at bargain prices. The Echo Show 5 is a 5.5-inch touchscreen. The touchscreen is even smaller than that of many smartphones. Set up in a room, some writings can hardly be recognized. The screen is simply too small and has a resolution of only 960 x 480 pixels. In terms of sound, the Echo Dot and the normal Echo are significantly better than the smallest Echo Show. If you want to spend more, you can get the larger Echo Show 8. In appearance, the Echo Show 8 resembles an old tube monitor. This construction creates more sound volume, so that the soundscape can fill a small room with sound. After all, there are two drivers with 50 mm in the housing. In addition to the sound and the larger touchscreen, the Echo Show 8 (2nd gen) offers a webcam with 13 megapixels, so that you can use Skype in HD resolution, for example. As usual, Amazon installs numerous microphones that can also be used for video telephony in addition to Alexa. If you want to do without the camera, you can use a button on the device to slide a mechanical flap in front of the camera lens. Unfortunately, this flap is always kept in white, even if you have chosen the black-colored model. As certified and refurbished models, Echo Show 5 2nd Gen and Echo Show 8 2nd Gen are currently available on Amazon at promotional prices.
