Amazon Echo Show 15 review

Amazon Echo Show 15 is the Echo to buy when the display should live on a wall. Amazon lists a 15.6-inch Full HD screen at 1920 x 1080 that works vertically or horizontally, with home screen widgets for family calendars, to-do lists, weather and smart home controls. Built-in Fire TV gives it the full Fire TV app store, and Amazon includes a Fire TV remote, so it can double as a kitchen TV. The 13 MP camera has a shutter, 3.3x zoom and a wide field of view, the audio uses two 2-inch woofers and two 0.6-inch tweeters, and the hub handles Zigbee, Matter and Thread over Wi-Fi 6E. Shoppers should know Amazon's page says a newer model exists: the Echo Show 16 is listed for pre-order. If you want it now, the Show 15 is the current shipping option. We compared documented features; we did not test it.
