Amazon Echo Show 15 (2nd Gen, 2024)

A wall-mounted Fire TV that still has a camera shutter — but the stand costs $99.99 extra. At $299.99, Amazon's 2024 model sits at the premium end of the category — the smart Displays we compare run from $79.99 to $399.99. It scores 6.4/10 overall, calculated from published specifications across 8 categories rather than from a subjective impression.

Its strongest showing is Smart Home Hub at 9.0/10 — zigbee, Matter and Thread border-router support — often the real reason to buy the bigger model. The weakest is Ad Freedom at 3.5/10, which is the trade-off to weigh before buying: if that is the specification you care about most, one of the alternatives below will serve you better.

Worth knowing before you buy: the counter stand is a $99.99 accessory — out of the box this is a wall-mount-only device that needs a drill; and decorative frames are another $34.99 if you do not want the bare black bezel. Every specification on this page comes from Amazon's own documentation or a verified retail listing — where a figure is not published, the table says so rather than estimating it.
