Compact and cute design, Google Assistant is excellent, Works with many apps and devices
Audio quality is limited, Very Google-centric

The Google Home Mini stands tall as one of the best affordable smart speakers out there, along with the Amazon Echo Dot, but it doesn't do enough to supplant the Dot at the top of the list...
Abstract: Unlike Bluetooth or wireless speakers that need to be controlled via a smartphone or tablet, a smart speaker is a far more versatile choice. Whether you're lying on the sofa or cooking in the kitchen, you're in control: you can pause and play your music...
Abstract: Smart speakers haven't quite hit the mainstream, but it's clear that Apple, Google and even Apple are betting that they will. They're the kind of gadget that you don't know you need until you try it out. People often ask why they're better than having Si...
