This is the best Alexa smart screen / speaker that Amazon has come up with video calling. Perfect display size for a device like this and also the speakers are good for filling a sound of a medium sized bedroom. The price is decent . I would strongly recommend this product to anyone looking for a new Alexa device with a screen. It’s a beautiful addition to the smartness of your home.
