The editors didn't like
Hey" and "OK" Google summons still irksome and can't be changed
Auto-brightness isn't on by default
Can't mute mic on/off switch
Google Home app could be simpler overall
An OLED panel would be an even savvier choice
Screen doesn't do much beyond core features
No video
Could do with more cards
UI loses visual flair
Lack of camera may disappoint
Display feels underutilised
Some features missing from full-size Smart Displays

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

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...

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...
Charming minimalist design, Ambient light sensor, Sunrise alarm, Smart home controls, Affordable, The lack of a camera will help quell privacy concerns
Doesn't play back videos or photos, Can't make video calls
The Lenovo Smart Clock is first and foremost, a clock. It doesn't have support for videos and photos, but it more than makes up for it with clock-centric features like a sunrise alarm and alarm reminders. On top of that, it has all the power of Google beh...
With the recent addition of Google Photos support, my major reservation about the device category is gone and I'm glad to see Google taking feedback on board. No camera support may be an issue for some, but as my intended location of this is a child's bed...
A tiny take on what the alarm clock could be, Nicely designed, You can turn the microphone off
Too small to be useful, Sound is unimpressive, even if it does sound like a mediocre clock radio, Doesn't run your typical home screen, and only gives you clocks, Not as much control as the standard Google smart displays, Higher priced than it probably sh
Abstract: I really didn't understand this product when it was announced – was it a Google Smart Display? Or Was it a clock? It's not really until you've used it for a few nights that you totally understand it.And I love it.Firstly, it's small. Even a small Nest...
Abstract: Most of my fellow lovers of all things technological are doubtless well ahead of me when it comes to smart home devices. It is a new area for me, due to the tight rein held on the purse strings by my beloved financial manager and spouse. I'm told that we...

Looks and feels great, Google Assistant and connected services work well, Visual cues for some basic functions, USB port to charge other devices
A bit expensive for what's on offer, Sound quality is poor,
The Lenovo Smart Clock is best used exactly as its name suggests, that is, as a clock with some smart features. The implementation of Google Assistant is full-fledged, and the display can be used for a limited number of functions beyond showing the time...
