The Show features a front-facing ‘room-filling’ speaker with Dolby audio processing, a camera and a 7in touchscreen, enabling it to do all the things the original Echo does but with a few additions:
• Watch video news broadcasts
• Watch YouTube videos
• Monitor smart security cameras, baby monitors and video doorbells, including those from Ring and Arlo
