Google is the undisputed leader in technology, so it's no surprise that its Home range of smart speakers epitomize affordable innovation. And you can become their owner starting from $50. That is how much the Home Mini costs, which will be discussed later.
Stylish piece of furniture
Unlike the main model of the Home line, Home Mini received really minimal dimensions of 42x98x98 mm and an external resemblance to a pillow. The abundance of unobtrusive colours (Chalk, Charcoal, Coral, Aqua) pleases the eye and makes the speaker harmonious in any interior. The fabric grill is pleasant to the touch and easy to clean from dust, as is the plastic bottom.
Nutrition Features
Home Mini is positioned as a portable speaker, but does not have a battery. Power is supplied via the included microUSB cable and AC adapter. On the one hand, this is not very convenient, on the other hand, a power bank or a smartphone with OTG (reverse charging) easily solve the issue, no matter where you are.
Loud kid
The power output of the Google Mini is not stated, but it plays as loudly as the 40mm omnidirectional driver allows. All volume for a small room up to 15 m². it will even be too much. The sound is soft, open, and even almost intelligible, as far as it is possible for one band.
Management and communication
After the first turn on, the speaker is proposed to be configured using the GoogleHome application so that advanced functions become available. For example, Multiroom, voice control, audio streaming from Spotify and Google Music services, data backup, Google Assistant(which, unfortunately, does not support Russian). After setting up (about 5 minutes), you can control the speaker with voice commands and receive voice responses from the assistant. For example, find out what the weather is like in your city today or what time it is, ask them to play a song.
Google Mini connects via Wi-Fi and Bluetooth, and is controlled entirely from the transmitting device, there are only two buttons on the speaker itself — volume and power.
Google Home Mini is a handy companion for business and entertainment, which is worth buying to pair with a laptop, smartphone or tablet if you are a fan of Google and you need a speaker more as an assistant than for music.
