Amazon expands its Echo Show lineup in India with Echo Show 10 and Echo Show 5

Amazon has launched two new Echo Show devices in India. This includes an updated version of Echo Show 5 (review) and a new Echo Show 10. As with all Amazon Echo Show devices, the new devices come with a display as well as a front facing camera. 

“With the introduction of the new Echo Show devices we have redefined the customer experience. Echo Show 10’s intelligent motion capability makes any place in the room the perfect location to enjoy visuals on the HD display combined with an enhanced audio experience”, stated Parag Gupta, Head of Amazon Devices India. “Indian customers have shared positive feedback about Alexa interactions on their existing Echo Show devices that combine voice, display, and touch. We can’t wait to see how they make the most out of the large brilliant display of the new Echo Show 10 as well as the upgraded Echo Show 5 to enhance entertainment, home security, productivity and more.”

The new Echo Show 10 sports a 10.1-inch HD display. However, the most unique feature of the device is the fact that the display will automatically turn towards the user when Alexa is interacted with as the display is free to rotate. Not only the display, but the dual-front firing tweeters and woofer also rotate to face the user. 

For security, Amazon notes that the Echo Show 10 uses computer vision algorithms that are said to allow users secure access to a live access from the device to their Alexa app. Users can also remotely pan the display and camera to see the entire room.

The new Echo Show 5 packs a 5.5-inch display and features an HD camera. There is also a Drop In feature that allows users to open instant conversations between devices or Alexa contacts. The new device will be available in Black, White, and Blue colour variants.

As with the Echo Show 10, users can access the built-in camera via the Alexa app to monitor things at home.

The Amazon Echo Show 10 will be available in Black and is priced at Rs 24,999. The new Echo Show 5 is priced at Rs 8,999, but will be available at a discounted price of Rs 6,999. As mentioned earlier, it will be available in Black, White and Blue.

What if a botched Google search card says you are a serial killer

Many of us have come to heavily rely on Google Search and often don’t question the veracity of information Google cherry-picks from the vast data available on the world wide web for its search cards. This incident, which is one part funny and two parts scary, makes it clear that Google’s Knowlege Graph may not be as sacrosanct as you may have believed.  Hristo Georgiev was informed by a former colleague that a Google search of his name returned a Google Knowlege Graph that depicted his photo and linked it to a Bulgarian rapist and serial killer of the same name, also known as ‘The Sadist’, who murdered five people back in the 1970s and was later executed by shooting.  The graph linked the info to a Wikipedia article, which incidentally had no link to any of Georgiev’s profile or his image.
