There's this common misconception that Amazon Echo speakers are just a doorway to Amazon services. I'll admit it was the primary reason for me to not try one until I got an Echo Dot free on a bundle like 3 years ago, and that's even after being a Prime member for at least 10 years. My thought process at the time was that I'm already enough of a compulsive buyer. The last thing I need is a product designed to keep me shopping… But the more I used it, the more I understood how my perception was wrong, and why people love these speakers.

Yes, Amazon is mostly a retail company, so of course you can use them to shop, but that would be a huge oversimplification of what these speakers can do. See, Amazon's Echo business has been one defiance. Their first speaker was created when no one else was doing it. Siri was exclusive to iPhones at the time, and Google didn't launch its assistant until two years later. And guys, even I also questioned the need for a speaker that could talk back to you, but today it's come to the point where I find myself frustrated when a regular Speaker *doesn't* respond, and I've noticed I'm not alone.

That said, I think the key to their success has been evolution. Amazon has really played the long game with this platform, from functionality, to form factors. In an era where we're full of screens, it made so much sense for the company to create the Echo Show in 2017, and today it's their fastest selling Echo, even if more expensive. Clearly you can do so much more with a product when things get visual, but what happens when the speaker is so smart that the whole visual experience happens both ways?

Well, this is the Echo Show 10, Amazon's latest and greatest smart display, which yeah got a bit of creep publicity at first, but I think it's because a lot of people missed the bigger picture. After using it for nearly a month, it proved to be so useful that I ended up getting two. I'm Jaime Rivera with Pocketnow, and let me tell you why in our review.. sponsored by MediaTek.
