The Google Home Mini is a stylish-looking speaker with surprisingly strong sound quality. The Google Assistant is a capable Alexa competitor
Especially thanks to its ability to search out detailed answers to a wide variety of questions
Access to Google Assistant
Compact
Inexpensive
The Google Home Mini puts all of the smarts of Google Assistant into a small and affordable package. The Mini sounds surprisingly good for its size and features a colorful design that can blend into your home's decor
Quality Google Assistant speakers from Googles
The editors didn't like
There isn't much the Home Mini does that Alexa can't do
Too. It also lacks a line out jack
And requires Chromecast Audio in order to connect with at external speaker setup
Underwhelming music sound quality
No audio line-out
The Mini's touch controls aren't intuitive
It doesn't have a line-out jack like the Amazon Echo Dot
And the built-in Google Assistant still doesn't have quite as many features as the Dot's built-in assistant
Abstract: The Google Home Mini was unveiled at Google's big event today in San Francisco. Covered in a specially designed fabric, the diminutive speaker has the same features as the original Google Home including full support for Google Assistant voice commands.Ava...
The marketing behind the Home Mini says 'Small and Mighty'. Definitely, a suitable slogan for it as other than bigger sound, a no compromise, smaller Google Home. All at a fraction of the price of $49 while many Pixel 2 pre-orders will score you one for f...

Abstract: My Google Assistant is many things, but it's mostly a meteorologist. I work 40 miles from my apartment, and the Bay Area's many microclimates mean I'll experience several weathers between my door and my desk. The questions come in the same order every mor...

Attractive design, Inexpensive, Great audio quality for size, Can control Android TVs and Chromecast
Hard to see status lights from across room, Doesn't work with as many smart-home devices as Alexa, Can't pair with Bluetooth speakers and no line-out
When it debuted last fall, the Echo Dot made big waves for its low price; it has never been easier to get Alexa in your home. The $49 Google Home Mini is poised to do just that for Google's Assistant. Not only is it inexpensive, but it also outperforms th...
That's it? Well, yes. That is it. The Home Mini does everything the larger Home does, and there's no need to go over all those features again. It also seems appropriate that the mini speaker gets a mini review.New Home features like finding your phone, ta...

Compact and cute design, Google Assistant is excellent, Works with many apps and devices
Audio quality is limited, Very Google-centric
The official retail price of the Google Home Mini is £49 – that's a decent price already but you can often find it on the web for cheaper than that, and at the time of writing it's down to £29 on the official Google Store. We've also seen plenty of offers...
Attractive design, Google Assistant delivers good responses to questions, Growing support for third-party devices, Great companion to Home Hub
Fabric won't clean easily, No audio output, Sound quality isn't great (but then it's not designed as a speaker for music, Really)
There's nothing especially remarkable about Google Home Mini, except a couple of things: it does everything the bigger Home product does, but is much, much smaller. It is also cheaper and it is a brilliant companion device to the Google Home Hub.Home Mini...
Abstract: The reasons for that are twofold: first, Amazon was fastest out the blocks. Although the Echo may feel relatively new in the UK, it has been a feature of futuristic American homes since 2014. Second, Amazon twigged early on that buyers might not feel...
