It is great I listen to sum relaxing music at night and sum time in the morning. I love it

I talked with Google Home chat line and they told me it would work for contacts, calling, and calendar. Said they would email instructions which they never did. Now I find a long thread on google home support saying none of this works. Try to spell a word and it spells it out in rapid fire.

I bought this a few weeks ago as part of what I hoped would be an integrated sound, PC and media system. Not yet found the connections working and the Google speaker only connects to the internet intermittently. Currently disappointed but I am sure things can be sorted.

Google is not used to being second. And yet, that's uncomfortable the position it finds itself in the smart speaker market. The reasons for that are twofold: first, Amazon was fastest out the blocks. Although the Echo may be new to Australia, it has been a feature of American homes since 2014.

Ya has leído nuestra experiencia con el Google Home Mini y te harás una idea de que no puedo recomendar comprarlo a fecha de su lanzamiento. Tengo muchas esperanzas puestas en que Google lance actualizaciones y se de la mano con diversas manos para promocionar el producto lo que acabe convirtiéndolo...

Diseño; Precio

Calidad del audio; Incompatibilidades; Google Assistant no está a la altura aún

I bought this for myself and now my grown children want one. I keep mine in the bathroom and ask the time, weather, play, music; just whatever I want while getting ready in the mornings. I can even make a hands free call and actually hear the person on the other end!

When it comes to speakers, Google has the $50 Mini, the $129 Home, and the $399 Max. Google Assistant is also available on every recent Android phone, without you having to hunt down an app.

Inexpensive; Nice design; Better sound quality than the Echo Dot; Better at answering music-related queries than Alexa

Lacks audio out; Google Home still offers less support for third-party services than Alexa

The Google Home Mini's existence is hardly a mystery: the squat little smart speaker is Google's retort to the Amazon Echo Dot. Packaging the virtues of the Google Assistant into a smaller, cheaper form factor than the existing Google Home , it's a $49 way to add the search company's smarts – and...

Cheap way to try Google's voice features; Discreet; cute design; Google keeps adding features

Audio quality is poor; No Bluetooth A2DP or 3.5mm output; Echo Dot can still be found cheaper

Google's cute $49 Home Mini, is a better standalone voice-activated speaker than the Amazon Echo Dot. That would be great, except for the fact that a lot of Echo Dot owners don't use their Dots alone—they connect them to bigger, better-sounding speakers using the audio-out port, which the Home Mini lacks. Google's demand that its speakers play only with other Google-compatible equipment continues to be the platform's weakest aspect, and the primary reason the Echo Dot remains our Editors' Choice. Design and Set Up Google's speakers are generally more attractive than Amazon's, although the new $99 fabric-covered Echo is a step in the right direction. Still, the Home Mini is super cute and measures 3.86 inches in diameter, 1.65 inches high, covered in chalk, charcoal, or coral fabric. There isn't much here in the way of ports. On the bottom, there's a microphone off switch. You can tap the sides of the speaker to change volume. You were initially able to play/pause music or activa...

The Google Home Mini smart speaker takes on Amazon's Echo Dot with a cute, fabric-covered design and Google Assistant smarts, but its lack of an audio out is a major bummer.
