For me, in the bedroom that would be better because my eyes are old and dodgy and it has a bigger screen so I could better see it when I'm on the other side of the room. And apparently it's a full blown tablet so you could pull it out of its stand and do tablet things while you're lying in bed.

The smart clock may actually be better if you're wanting it to show you the time while the lights are off, as neither device appears to have an AMOLED screen. Those allow
only the lit pixels to be turned on, so all the black is true black. Other screen types have to light up at least the black area around the clock display, so the black is emitting light. This isn't all that noticeable in a lit room, but in a dark bedroom it can be like staring into the sun.

A smaller screen is better in that scenario, since there's fewer pixels to emit light.
