The Echo Show 15 is Amazon's newest smart display, however this product is unlike any previous model.

Although it still shares the company's familiar moniker using 'Echo', it's not to be left on a desk or bedside table like its predecessors.

It is intended for the wall to be hung as a piece of art or a television.

Formally announced at Amazon's Fall 2021 launch event, you can now buy it through the platform in the United States for

USD$ 284 and in Mexico

 MX$ 6,299 and with the possibility of paying up to 15 MSI.

A smart photo frame and smart home control panel

The obvious difference to the Show 15 is that it is designed to be hung on a wall.

And while it can be placed in portrait or landscape orientation, the main focus is on its 15.6-inch 1080p display with anti-glare coating, so you won't have to worry about light reflection.

The increased screen real estate accompanied by a white border and frame makes it more like a painting, similar to Samsung's The Frame TV, albeit smaller.

Once you decide where and how to place it, you'll notice that the Echo Show's interface supports both voice and touch.

Amazon also lets you customize it further, so you can choose from local widgets like a shopping list, smart home control, and sticky notes, or even third-party apps on this Echo Show 15.

You will have two sizes of widgets and you can arrange them in the way that best suits your needs.

Better yet, if you have an Amazon doorbell, motion alerts can appear as an image on the generous screen.

It's here that the Show 15 can almost feel like a smart home dashboard crossed with a digital display.

A customizable device

And, to further personalize the device depending on who's using it, the Echo Show 15 will also come with a special feature called Visual ID.

Though optional, enabling this feature allows the camera to scan your face and learn to recognize it, then change the interface to one that matches your preferences, customizing Alexa's responses to your queries.

Visual ID isn't exclusive to the Show 15 and will roll out to other Echo Show devices soon, according to Amazon, though on smaller screens, you'll need to swipe to access widgets.

When it comes to viewing content, the 15.6-inch screen will give you a more immersive experience compared to other Echo Shows.

And since it can be hung on the wall, it could be the perfect device to place in the kitchen or family room.

The company already offers Amazon Prime and Netflix, among others, but promised access to TikTok and Sling TV coming soon.

Speakers are built in, but don't expect a significant amount of bass as the Show 15, like most TVs, is much slimmer than the Show 5, 8 or 10.

Processor

The Echo Show 15 integrates the Amazon AZ2 processor.

This is the second generation chip made by Amazon and is based on the fourth generation Echo.

The upgraded processor will allow the Echo Show 15 to respond quickly to queries and questions and should feel quicker and more natural than the company's other devices.

It is thanks to the AZ2 Neural Edge processor that the Visual ID function that we already told you about the device is achieved.

And yes, you can ask Alexa on the Echo Show 15 anything, just like any other Echo.
