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
Affordable Google Assistant, Chromecast compatibility, Fine sound for speech radio,
Sound quality is average for music, No aux or Bluetooth output, Device support could be better,
While it's not quite the perfect experience, it's hard to complain too much about what the Home Mini does. It is primarily a good voice assistant, with the ability to control other devices. More compatible devices and improvements to the AI will only impr...

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...

Fluffy, friendly design, Sounds better than an Echo Dot, Just as knowledgeable as bigger Home, Strong smart home support, Recognises the voices of up to six people and gives personalised replies, Good value
Doesn't have a 3.5mm line-out or have Bluetooth out, Touch buttons on the top have been disabled, Still favours Google services over others, Echo still more versatile for music and shopping
Unless you've already filled your house with Echo Dots, the Home Mini is shaping up to be a great entrée to home voice control. It's nicer looking than the Echo Dot, costs the same and works better with Google services like Gmail, Maps and Calendar, part...

If you've got an Android smartphone, just ask the speaker to find your phone and it will make your phone ring, The circular shape offers 360degree sound so no matter where you stand in the room you get the same sound quality, Google Home Mini can recognis
No 3.5mm auxiliary port, so you can't play music stored on devices that don't have Bluetooth through the speaker, The sound quality lacks punch and bass, You can only summon Google Assistant by saying 'Okay, Google' or 'Hey, Google', and there's no way to
The Google Home Mini works well as a small inexpensive speaker with a comprehensive voice assistant. The price does mean there's a compromise on sound quality. This couldn't be used as a main home speaker but for a small bedroom or to simply to expand the...
At first glance, the Google Home Mini looks like a step in the right direction. We don't all have £129 to spare for a digital helper, so offering a cheaper alternative at £49 is has been badly needed.Whether or not the Google Home Mini will be a better pu...
