A smart display can merge the various virtual assistant and smart home tools at your disposal, whether you prefer voice-activated assistants or smartphone-like interfaces for direct control. That's exactly what Amazon's Echo Show 15 offers, and right now, the wall-mountable panel is marked down to $199.99 ($80 off) at Amazon and Best Buy.
The Echo Show 15 is a solid 15.6-inch smart display that can function as a 1080p TV thanks to its Fire TV integration, making it ideal in the kitchen for watching recipes or enjoying entertainment with any meal you have. you are cooking. The touchscreen lets you control a variety of compatible smart home devices using various widgets and apps, which are great for seeing calendar appointments, weather, and other data at a glance, although we'd rather wait for the next Echo Hub. if what you are looking for is only smart home control, since the latter is compatible with the new Matter, Thread and Zigbee standard.
Still, the Echo Show 15 is especially good for controlling security cameras, as it uses the extra screen size to display multiple streams. A built-in camera lets you make video calls with other Echo Show owners or anyone who has the Alexa app; However, the poor quality of the screen's camera means it's probably best reserved for, say, calling grandma for an emergency tutorial while your hands are tied.
I hope the retro revival never dies. There's something special about preserving the technology and ideas that paved the way for all the fun gadgets we enjoy today, which is why I'll probably buy another Fujifilm Instax Mini 12 for myself. We consider it the best instant camera for most people, one that currently has an all-time low of around $69.95 ($10 off) at Amazon, Best Buyand Photo B&H.
The Fujifilm Instax Mini is one of my favorite things to give people, especially because it can help you capture memories from the get-go. You get a Polaroid-type film cartridge to print photos on demand and spray the resulting capture onto a wallet-sized card, which develops in a couple of minutes, whether you shake it violently or not. There's also a built-in flash to help in low-light situations, along with a front-facing mirror to help capture selfies.
The Instax Mini 12 is an ideal first camera especially for children, not only because of the attractive variety of colors but also because it is light but durable enough to survive any possible knocks it may suffer. It's a bit basic in terms of features – it lacks additional shooting modes and other options, and you can't easily edit the resulting captures before printing – but that's what keeps the cost so low.
