Abstract: Smart speakers are cool and all, but smart displays are pretty much the perfect addition to any home or office. Amazon and Google are leading the way with their smart displays, while Lenovo has a tendency of releasing some Assistant-powered options every...

Hugely improved camera, Pan and zoom to center video call subject, Person detection can trigger automations, Loved ones can share photos to home screen
Adaptive display is middling, Physical design not updated, Best new features only benefit video calls

Bright, colorful screen, Powerful audio for the size, Higher-resolution camera than previous model, Digital pan and zoom

Camera auto-tracking is smooth and effective, Stereo speakers have punch to fill a room, Alexa keeps getting more abilities, Easily-controlled privacy
Auto-framing does have limits, A dedicated speaker sounds better for the price, Limited services that the clever camera works with
The biggest frustration with Amazon's auto-framing is where you can actually use it. Right now that's Amazon's own video calling – which works between Echo Show smart displays as well as with the Alexa smartphone app – and on Zoom. Problem is, most of my...
