  • Abstract:  It's almost unfair that most of the world met our voice-controlled future in the form of an Amazon Echo. Sure, the gadget works, but damn is it ugly. The Google Home was better but still sort of silly-looking. That's why the sleek, minimalist Google Home...

  • Great Sound Quality, Neat and Clean Design, Google Assistant is quite smart,
  • No AUX-in port, Google Assistant still needs to improve a bit
