There's also a physical shutter slider for the forward-facing camera used for video calls.Īs on previous models, you've got a choice of screensavers to pick from that show when you're not actively using the device. The power port is around the back of the speaker unit, while on the top of the display you've got two volume control buttons and a button for muting the microphone so you know Alexa is no longer listening. The screen itself is bright, clear and sharp, and can be tilted up and down as well as being able to swivel (speaker and all) on its base. It's by no means an ugly-looking smart display though. Exactly how we'd improve it we're not quite sure, but we suspect that if there's a 4th generation of the Echo Show 10, it'll look a bit more aesthetically appealing than this 3rd generation model.

The device feels solid, and well built, and is obviously constructed from some premium materials, but we can't help feeling that the design is a little bit ungainly and awkward. This is a piece of hardware that looks very much like what it is: a screen stuck on the side of a speaker.

The colouring extends all around the device in this case, from the fabric that covers the main speaker unit to the bezels that surround the 10.1-inch display that dominates the Echo Show 10. Both look suitably smart and classy, and you can pick whichever fits in with your home decor best. The 3rd-gen Echo Show 10 can be yours in either black or white – or as Amazon has it, charcoal or glacier white.
