Cleverer than an Echo, Improved sound and performance, Reasonably priced
Doesn't sound as good as an Echo Dot 3rd gen, No 3.5mm audio output
The new Nest Mini is a welcome upgrade then and an interesting one, too. The extra silicon inside will likely mean it's better equipped for future Google Assistant upgrades and it now sounds better, detects your voice more reliably and with greater alacri...

Relatively inexpensive, Built-in Google Assistant, Great mid-range clarity
No stereo separation, No free on-demand music, No line-out/3.5mm port
The Nest Mini is a great deal for your first smart home speaker and a simple solution if you want to extend the Google Assistant experience into other parts of your home. It lacks the musicality of the best-sounding Bluetooth speakers and you'll need to s...

good sound for the money, wall mount, made of recycled plastic, Google Assistant, Bluetooth 5.0, native BBC radio playback
No 3.5mm input, privacy concerns of a smart speaker, not quite roomfilling sound
The Google Nest Mini is a future-proofing update rather than a radical change. Sure, it sounds a little better, the controls are improved and the wall-mount is nice.But it is the improved machine learning chip within it that is the real upgrade – and one...

Great price, Improved speakers and mics, Wall mount is handy, Google Assistant is always learning, Voice Match allows for personalised answers
Better Google Home only £40 more, Not loud enough for music at a party, Machine learning is US-only for now
If you live in Google's world (and let's face it, most of us do) then the Google Nest Mini is the best, cheapest way to get into the smart home game alongside the £45 Echo Dot with Clock. If you want close integration with your Google calendar and apps, t...
Abstract: The Google Nest Mini is round with a 9cm diameter and is 4cm thick; there is a choice of four colours: chalk; sky; coral or charcoal.There are three touch controls on the device volume down, volume up and mute. The only physical connection is the 1.5 me...
Wall mount option, Simple touch controls, Speech sounds better thanks to better bass,
Few improvements over the original, No 3.5mm audio jack,
A slight improvement over the original speaker, the Google Nest Mini is a gentle evolution. We love the new wall-mount option, giving you more options of where to place the smart speaker, but the new touch controls are only of minor use. Improved bass res...

Improved sound quality, More sustainable build, Built-in wall-mount, Power of Google Assistant, Physical microphone mute button, Improved on-device controls
No audio jack, No clock like new Echo Dot, Not really an upgrade if you own Google Home Mini
The Google Nest Mini won't see you rushing out to buy it if you already own the original (and differently named) Home Mini. But for a first-timer it's now a savvy buy.If you're weighing up the decision of whether to buy the Nest Mini or the Echo Dot, now...
Abstract: Meet the Google Nest Mini, first of its name. Look familiar? Well that's because this is really the Google Home Mini 2, brought under the Nest banner as Google tries to bring all of its smart home devices under one roof. The design is essentially unchang...
