Amazon Launches the Echo Show 5 in India, Priced at Rs. 8,999

-

After launching the Echo Show in India last month, for a whopping Rs. 22,999, the US giant has now launched a smaller version of the display-touting Alexa smart speaker in India. Called the Echo Show 5, the smart speaker comes with a smaller 5-inch display, but brings all of the capabilities of its much larger sibling, the Echo Show with its 10.1-inch display.
With a more compact form factor, the Echo Show 5 is aimed towards being an addition to places like a bedside table, a kitchen counter, and similar places where a larger display might not be suitable. Plus, at Rs. 8,999 the Echo Show 5 is also going to be far more affordable for customers.
The Echo Show 5 also aims to put users’ minds at ease when it comes to privacy concerns, especially if they’re planning on using it in private spaces like the bedroom. The Echo Show 5 comes with a physical switch that turns off the camera on the smart speaker.
Since the Echo Show 5 gets its smarts courtesy of Alexa, it’ll work seamlessly with all the Alexa-enabled smart home devices, and also comes with support for Alexa skills that are available to any other Alexa smart speaker.
The Echo Show 5 is available for pre-order on Amazon India right now for Rs. 8,999 and units will begin shipping out in July this year.

LDAC  is an audio codec developed by Sony, and allows Hi-Res audio streaming (24bit/96khz) over Bluetooth connections up to 990 kbit/s.  Starting with Android 8.0 Oreo, LDAC was incorporated into AOSP, enabling every OEM to integrate it into their Android devices without any royalty payments. The technology uses Bluetooth connectivity, but is said to be significantly more efficient than the standard Bluetooth codec. Image Courtesy: IT Home Bluetooth usually uses the SBC codec which down converts the audio before playing it. However, LDAC,...
