Which should you buy?
What decides this is not the score, it is the display. Amazon Echo Frames shows nothing and answers through the speakers, while Halliday G2 shows information on the lens. Reading is far faster than listening, but you pay for it in battery, price and discretion.
Halliday G2 wins the overall score by 1.0 points, but that score averages six criteria and you will only use some of them.
Battery is not close: Halliday G2 lasts 12 hours against 6 h for the Amazon Echo Frames. At that gap, one lasts the day and the other does not.
Only Halliday G2 has manufacturer-confirmed support for your language. That changes daily use more than any spec, and most comparison sites skip it.
On price, Amazon Echo Frames is 330 $ cheaper.
