Below, we will once again provide the comments made by Nobuyoshi Kodera on Engadget.

In the Echo series of Amazon smart speakers, there is an online line called Echo Show with a display screen. So far, Echo Show5 and Echo Show8 have grown in size smoothly, and as most people expected, then came Echo Show10.

So far, smart speakers with monitors are so-called alarm clocks, or there are many products that are supposed to be used on the side table next to the bed. The Google Nest Hub Max, which also has a 10-inch display, is also a tablet fixed to the base.

Amazon Echo Show10, on the other hand, designed the Echo Studio as a small cylindrical speaker with a "face" display. And there is a rotating mechanism at the bottom, and each loudspeaker display screen will rotate in the range of 350 degrees. Is to use the front camera to detect the presence of people, and then turn your face over there. This is new.

In fact, this is the first time I have touched an Echo with a monitor, so I have a lot of energy to connect to the power supply. I hold my phone in one hand and stand by, but I only use the Echo Show10 monitor to finish it all. Really? touch the monitor.

There is... Of course.

Music playing, stereo chasing anywhere.

So first of all, let's try it from the music. Swipe from the right end of the monitor to the left and the service menu appears. Therefore, you can choose Music to play songs provided by Amazon Music HD. Or call Alexa by voice. It's the same as the traditional Echo.

In the smartphone version of the Amazon Music HD app, you can list your favorite songs or create playlists by artist, but these lists don't seem to be accessible on the Amazon Echo Show 10 screen. To listen to the specified music, you need to specify the music playback destination for Amazon Echo Show 10 in your application as before.

As you know, Amazon Music HD will soon support high resolution (Ultra HD) and 3D audio streams. Unfortunately, Amazon Echo Show10 doesn't seem to support high-resolution playback, and all songs are played in "HD" quality.

The speaker is a 2.1ch stereo system consisting of a 1-inch thruster installed in an eight-shaped open position on the front and a 2.5-inch subwoofer set upwards. Although there is an upward loudspeaker, due to the subwoofer, the direction of the sound is very small, and 3D sound playback is not supported.

But in terms of sound quality, thanks to enough bass, you can hear bass that don't match the size. As a sense of proportion of sound, I think it is at the same level as the fourth generation of Echo (sphere guy).

On the other hand, Twitter's voice is blocked by the monitor, so what you listen to in Niafield sounds more closed than other Echo sounds. The decline in high-frequency characteristics sounds regrettable.

On the other hand, if you listen at a higher volume from a distance, you will also use the reflection on the back of the monitor to amplify the sound, so it can be listened to as a rather spacious image of Steo. It will be more satisfying if you listen at a distance than if you listen nearby.

In addition, the rotating mechanism of the display is done very well. You will always point the display to your location, so no matter where you move, you can hear the front stereo sound. In any case, it is ridiculous to follow the face of death in order for users to listen in stereo.

No, but the combination of the rotating mechanism and the stereo loudspeaker fits well. With or without a monitor, there is always a cylindrical speaker on the front of the user, and there may be demand in the future.

Next-generation video playback experience

Next, try to play the video. Video provides services including Amazon Prime Video, Netflix, Youtube, Bing (WEB search), Paravi and optical TV.

This time we will test it in Amazon Prime Video's Jack Ryan season 1 Episode 4, which has always been a reference for image quality assessment.

The monitor is 1280x800, which is actually the same as the 8-inch Echo Show resolution. But this is a very high contrast and high definition display. In this work, warm desert scenes alternate with cool scenes in cold areas, both of which can be enjoyed with correct color rendering. Although the 10-inch size is smaller than the TV and PC, it is larger than the smartphone, which is a wonderful sense of size, and it is most appropriate to "watch" while doing other work.

Because the sound is very gorgeous, although the display is very small, but the audio-visual satisfaction is very high. It's also a good way to cook while watching funny shows at the kitchen counter. Even if the volume is not increased, the sound loss is good, and even when moving, the monitor is always facing itself, so there is no case that it cannot be placed correctly.

As a precaution, since the surrounding rotating diameter must be opened, it is best not to use it where there is something, because it will be troublesome if something is left behind. Although there are sensors that stop spinning as soon as they touch something, light things rotate directly. In this way, the author dropped the box containing cotton swabs from the table and touched the eyes of cotton swabs scattered on the floor.

The key to a smart speaker with a display screen is to use the function of the smart speaker, not voice. People who are difficult to reach the target information in the voice, one by one is a troublesome person, I think this is the most suitable prop.
