Echo Show 10 is on sale for 7000 yen (23%) for 22,980 yen.

From then on, we will deliver a review by TATSUYA YAMAMOTO again.

About seven months after the announcement, about two months later, about two months later, Amazon's smart speaker "Echo Show 10" was released in Japan on April 14.The size is 10.Although it is equivalent to the first Echo Show at 1 inch, its style is very different from the conventional Echo Show series, and has a screen automatic rotation function.Since I tried this Echo Show 10 a little earlier, I will deliver the impression mainly on the appearance and rotation function.

Echo Show 10 (Amazon)

First, easily check the specifications.The display is 10.The size of the screen is 251x178mm at 1280 x 800 1 inches (in the product information of Amazon, the height of the screen part is 230mm, but this is the height from the floor).Same 10.The long side bezel width is wider than the 1 inch Fire HD 10 (262x159mm, 1920x1200) and the short side is narrower.In terms of size, iPad Pro 11 inch (247).6x178.It is almost the same as 5mm).

If the iPad Pro 11 inches can be imagined to rotate around the side of a cylinder with a diameter of 172 mm, there is no doubt in the size.

On the top of the display, mute, volume, and camera cover buttons are lined up.

The camera cover is also mounted on Echo Show 5 and 8, which can secure privacy by physically blocking the front camera.

The power supply uses a dedicated AC adapter, and the plug is inserted into the bottom.It is difficult to understand because the bottom part rotates, but the direction that this cave comes out is the back.The output of the AC adapter was 30W.

The screen rotation is 350 °, and it is necessary to be careful not to place anything in the rotation range.

By the way, when you look at the exterior, you may still be worried about the rotation of the screen.The scope of the screen rotation (motion) is 175 ° left and right and a total of 350 °.Strictly, it is not directly behind.

Since the 10 -inch display rotates around the cylinder with a diameter of 172 mm, the rotation radius is large, about 370mm in diameter.A sheet for checking this range is also included, allowing you to visually check the range.

However, it may not be possible to rotate in space, such as when installing near the wall, but in such cases the rotation range can be restricted from the settings.It can prevent it from hitting the wall unnecessarily.

In addition, it rotates automatically in the left and right directions, but the upper and lower directions are only manual.The range of motion is vertical, up to 45 ° in the upper direction.

You can specify the timing of rotation, and by default, you will follow the user when you are talking to Alexa, etc., but the screen is in front of this, such as calling, video playback, recipe display, etc.It can be changed only when it is more convenient.Of course, you can turn off the motion itself, or if you only instruct "turn on follow mode".

By the way, the degree of rotation is enough to lightly drag a 500ml plastic bottle.Since it is not one point, I think that if it is slippery, it will be dragged without falling, but it is better not to put anything around.

It seems to be very convenient depending on how the screen rotates and how to use it.For example, if it is installed at the kitchen counter, you can check the screen on either the kitchen side or the dining side without rotating by hand.

In my home, I have a NEST HUB just in this position, but when I want to see it from the kitchen side, I need to change the direction of the display by hand, so it is troublesome.If you can operate this with just your voice, you can get the urge to introduce it.

However, this is also a place where things increase.It's a bit scary to put an automatic rotation Echo Show 10 ...

Also, you need to be a little careful when placing it on the desk that you usually work.In the motion function, the screen rotates so that it faces the front of the user.For this reason, if it was installed next to the display in front of the user, on the edge of the desk, and at the diagonal position from the user, the screen may rotate just by moving the head slightly.

When installing in a diagonal position from these users, turning off the motion is likely to be less stress.

Remote operation is also possible

Using the motion function, you can use it to look inside the room from the go.The remote camera operation can be used in other Echo Show series, but the strength of Echo Show 10 is that the screen can be rotated even in remote control.For example, if you are installed on the desk you usually use, even if you look at the camera video from the outside, you will only see a chair that no one is sitting.In that regard, Echo Show 10 allows you to check the image on the back.

In addition, if the motion function is turned off, the screen operation cannot be performed remotely, but there is no real problem because the motion is switched on/off from the application.

Excellent as a speaker

Music playback that will be the main use of smart speakers, but 2.There is only a 5 -inch woofer, and the bass is quite strong.It is a stereo configuration equipped with two 1 -inch tweeter, and can be heard clearly.However, when I reviewed Echo, which became a sphere, I felt it was too bass and I was a little tired to listen.It is just right to lower the bass a little with the equalizer setting.I have a taste around here, so I want you to explore the settings that suits you.

It may be unsatisfactory for the purpose of enjoying music slowly, but I feel that it is sufficient for the purpose of continuing music in BGM.

Of course, you can watch videos as well as music.The screen is 10 inches, so you can enjoy movies as it is.

Whether you use the automatic rotation of the screen depends on the installation location, but in that you can easily change the direction of the screen, it is quite convenient to be able to rotate manually without using automatic rotation.

However, considering the price of 29,980 yen, if you do not use automatic rotation, it may be okay to use Echo Show 8 or Fire HD 10 in SHOW mode.However, if you can install it in a place where you can rotate properly, if you call, Echo Show 10 will be a very useful gadget.
