Abstract: Before it got into the smart screen market with the Nest (nee Home) Hub, Google opted to let its hardware partners do the heavy lifting. Last year at CES, it announced a trio of devices from JBL, LG and Lenovo. All three were built around the same smart h...

Abstract: Lenovo has officially released their Smart Clock gadget, which is one of the first smart appliance kind of devices that feature Google Assistant. Amazon beat everyone to the punch by putting Alexa on a host of other connected devices around the home, so...
The Lenovo Smart Clock does is job brilliantly thanks to a slick design that features everything one would want from an alarm clock. With the physical privacy shutter and the USB charging port, it is an excellent bedside gadget.At $79, it is an excellent...

So, yeah, that's about it. It's an alarm clock with Google Assistant built-in. Is it worth $79? While I do enjoy it very much so, the fact that you can't stream any videos to it is a big disappointment. Basically, this product will live on your nightstand...
I feel like the Lenovo Smart Clock is a niche device. I haven't had a clock in my room in years, and I suspect that many others are in the same boat. Most of us sleep a few feet away from our phones, and have no need for an alarm clock.It's a nice thing t...

Cheapest Assistant-powered smart display so far, Small, cute design is perfectly nightstand-sized, Display won't disturb your sleep, USB charging port on back is useful
Nest Hub isn't much more expensive after promotions, Not every Assistant reply uses the display, No Google Photos screensaver
Maybe that crowding in the segment isn't necessarily a bad thing. After all, if smart assistant technologies are to catch on in the mainstream, they'll need to fit in with as many settings as possible: for some, even the 7-inch Nest Hub will be that littl...
Compact design, Fun clock-face options, Good audio (for a clock), Smart alarm features
Limited visual skills, No color options
Devices like the Echo Show, Nest Hub and even the Echo Spot are trying to do a lot of things. They want to be smart speakers, mini TVs, kitchen assistants, tablets and more. It's exciting to have so many options under your fingertips in one touch-screen d...
Small and accessible design, Google Assistant is fast and usually accurate, Lots of built-in clock face designs, Decent-sounding speaker for the size
Screen quality is lackluster, Doesn't support many of the smart display features found on Google Nest Hub
There's definitely a good argument for this product existing, though you can probably find the Google Nest Hub for around $100 without looking too hard. And while it's a bit bigger than this product, it does a lot more, including video streaming and Googl...

Very small footprint, but still easy to read the screen from across the room, Loud, customizable alarm sound, Has all of the Google Assistant features available
Can't do much with the screen (no video, limited touch interaction), Doesn't display Google Photos albums, Sound quality is merely average, not great

Small, slick design, Soft touch fabric finish, Crisp, clear screen, Microphone mute toggle, Works with Nest video, Supports Google routines, Easy set up, Tap to snooze, Sunrise Alarm feature is great, Various preset clock faces and alarm tones
No FM Radio, Might be a bit pricey for some, Limited video options, No camera, No backup battery
The Lenovo Smart Clock is not a full-blown smart hub or display but it's also not being marketed as such. If you're looking for Google Assistant functionality in the bedroom, the Lenovo Smart Clock is definitely a fantastic choice given its size and funct...
