The Echo Show 15 is a neat smart display, and one of the few that can be mounted on a wall. You can even use it in both, portrait and landscape positions. This Prime Day deal saves you $60, but it isn’t the lowest Amazon has priced this display. It has dropped to $184.99 in November 2023, which is the lowest recorded price. This smart display is now more than two years old, but Amazon is yet to release a second generation product.
One of the unique features of this smart display is the widgets. There are different ways in which you can customize them, so you have all the relevant information that you need right on the homescreen. We loved the Echo Show 15 when we reviewed it, but it’s not without its flaws. The speakers are rear-facing, which makes it tough to hear dialogue clearly.
The Visual ID system, which uses the front camera to authenticate you, is a bit finnicky and the camera quality is not great. If you don’t absolutely need a wall-mounted option, there are plenty of other great deals on smart home products for Prime Day that are worth checking out.
