With the help of highly sensitive microphones and a natural language processing system, Google Home does a relatively good job of understanding what a home's different occupants are asking.
Google could be poised to reveal a low-cost "mini" version of its Home smart speaker at its fall event, Wednesday, Oct 4, 2017, reports Droid Life. In fact, Google appears to be taking inspiration from Amazon, whose Echo Dot already offers a simplified version of its intelligent home assistant.
The product visuals shared online show a compact and colourful speaker with an attractive pebble-like design. According to Droid Life, the speaker will be priced under the US$50 (RM210) mark in the USA. Moreover, nothing yet implies that this "mini" version of the speaker could be sold in other markets. Note that scaled-down size could bring scaled-down functionalities, not to mention reduced audio quality for listening to music.
