In order to show concern for personal privacy rights, Amazon's Echo Show 5 now comes with a camera cover. It's the first of its kind to do so and is likely meant to bolster customer trust which has taken a beating this past year.

Description:
Amazon's newest smart display, the Amazon Echo Show 5, takes a smaller, cheaper and more privacy-oriented approach. It is aimed at the entry level of the smart display category.
With a 5.5-inch display, the Echo Show 5 is half the size of the 10.1-inch screen Amazon Echo Show but is larger than the smaller 2.5-inch round screen on Amazon Echo Spot.
The Echo Show 5 might push people to try out one of Amazon’s Echo products with a screen since it is cheaper than the other two abovementioned Echo products with displays. Its screen allows you to pull up things like recipes in the kitchen, speak to Alexa and get visual responses for questions like the weather.
It can do most everything else a regular Echo can do like control your smart home, play music from Apple Music, Spotify, Pandora or Amazon Music. The screen also makes ordering by voice from Amazon easier, since you can tap and select the product you want to buy instead of ordering entirely with Alexa.
There is an added benefit to having a screen on an Echo, besides being cheaper than Amazon’s other products. You can use the Amazon Echo Show 5 screen to video chat with your family -- or video chat with other Echo Show or Spot devices in your house -- stream TV shows from Amazon Prime Video, get news clips from CNBC, check in on your security cameras and more.
Like Amazon's other smart displays, the Amazon Echo Show 5 has a built-in camera with a camera shutter that is integrated into the hardware. There is a separate, dedicated camera and microphone off-button as well. There is a privacy-oriented feature where you can say "Alexa, delete everything I said today," and it will purge the audio recordings of your Alexa conversations from Amazon's servers.
The Amazon Echo Show 5 is available in two colors, charcoal and sandstone. It will also sell a special magnetic stand accessory that will let you adjust the viewing angles for better video chat.
