Amazing Deal An Amazon Echo Show 5 on a shelf.
Andy Boxall / Digital Trends

Amazon Echo deals cover both smart speakers and smart displays, and if you’re thinking of getting the latter, you may want to check out the Amazon Echo Show 5 3rd Gen. The budget-friendly device, originally sold at $90, is even more affordable right now at just $65 following a 28% discount. The $25 in savings means this is your chance to buy more than one to equip multiple rooms in your home with it, but since this is a limited-time offer, you’re going to have to push forward with your purchase immediately.

Why you should buy the Amazon Echo Show 5 3rd Gen

We all know by now how amazing Amazon’s Alexa is, and going for an Echo Show device will pair the digital assistant with a touchscreen, as recommended by our guide on which Amazon Echo should you buy. If you’re on a tight budget, don’t sweat it because the Amazon Echo Show 5 3rd Gen is very affordable — in fact, it’s featured in our list of the best smart displays for its low price. The 5.5-inch display is small, but it’s more than enough to show you information such as the news and weather, make video calls, view connected security cameras, stream shows and tutorials, and more.

You won’t expect it considering the size of the Amazon Echo Show 5 3rd Gen, but the smart display’s speakers are actually pretty loud, with deep bass and clear vocals. The device’s 2MP camera not only enables video calls, but can also serve as a security camera itself to let you peek inside your home. When it’s not in use, you can set the Amazon Echo Show 5 to display your favorite photos, turning it into a smart picture frame.

The Amazon Echo Show 5 3rd Gen packs a lot of value in its small size, and you can get the smart display for an even lower price right now as it’s 28% off from Amazon. It’s down to only $65 from its sticker price of $90, so if you’re thinking about buying multiples, don’t miss this opportunity at huge savings. Tomorrow may already be too late to take advantage of this offer though, so if you want the savings of $25 for the Amazon Echo Show 5 3rd Gen, you need to complete transaction within the day.

My smart home experiment has reached its natural limit
Smart-home technology keeps improving, but being easier to automate doesn’t make everything worth automating
Computer, Electronics, Laptop, Smart Home

The first device I added to my smart home was a light bulb. It seemed like the safest possible place to start. I could turn it on from anywhere, put it on a schedule, and eventually work it into routines with everything else.

Then I tapped the button in the app and waited. The delay was only about half a second, but half a second is surprisingly noticeable when the alternative is a wall switch that responds immediately and has never once asked for a firmware update. Using my phone was worse. I had to unlock it, find the app, open the right room, and tap the light I could have switched on several steps earlier.

Google Home's latest update introduces several new features, including Gemini-powered Interactive Storytime. While I’m not sure who asked for the feature, it lets families build original stories about specific topics on the fly, instead of just listening to a known story.

Proxima wants to move blood tests into the home, and it has cleared an important early hurdle
The portable analyzer delivers blood-count results in about 20 minutes, but its promise depends on transparent clinical data
Furniture, Table, Desk

Algocyte’s Proxima is designed to run blood-count tests from a small finger-prick sample and send the results to a clinician in about 20 minutes. For patients who need frequent monitoring, that could mean fewer trips to a clinic or laboratory.

The device has also moved beyond the concept stage. Proxima carries UK conformity credentials, while Algocyte operates under a certified medical-device quality system. Those steps give the project more weight than a prototype shown at a launch event.
