What the differences mean
What the screen is for
The Amazon Echo Show 10 (3rd Gen) is a 10.1-inch 1280 x 800 smart display on a motorized base, with a camera and Alexa, meant to sit on a counter. The Shelly Wall Display is a 4-inch color touchscreen, 85 x 85 x 30 mm and 180 g, built to replace a wall switch. One follows you around the room. The other stays in the gang box.
Voice, camera and hub
The Amazon Echo Show 10 (3rd Gen) has Alexa, a camera with a shutter, a Zigbee coordinator, a Thread border router and a Matter bridge. The Shelly Wall Display has none of those. It also has no microphone mute and no volume control, because there is no voice assistant. If the job is talking to the screen, only the Echo does it.
Apps and sensors
The Shelly Wall Display reaches Alexa, Google Home and SmartThings through Shelly Cloud, and Home Assistant directly, and it reads temperature, humidity and ambient light. The Amazon Echo Show 10 (3rd Gen) is Alexa with partial Home Assistant, no Google Home, and it senses ambient light and motion rather than temperature or humidity. Warranty is 3 years on the Shelly and 1 year on the Echo.
How it connects
The Amazon Echo Show 10 (3rd Gen) has 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz Wi-Fi plus Bluetooth. The Shelly Wall Display has 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi and Bluetooth only, and it is the one that wall-mounts, because that is the install. The Echo has no wall-mount option. Glass-break and smoke listening are a subscription on the Echo and are not features of the Shelly.

What owners say
These owners bought different objects and say so. Amazon Echo Show 10 (3rd Gen) owners single out the motorized screen that turns toward them for calls and recipes, the camera and the speakers, and they complain about the price, the space the base needs to swivel, and ads on the home screen. Shelly Wall Display owners single out a Home Assistant dashboard on the wall, a premium feel and a thermostat mode once an external sensor is added, because the panel's own thermometer runs warm. They complain about units that drop the network or lose the controller address after a power cut, and a few report electrical oddities that pushed them to use an electrician.
