Smart Display With Google Assistant Launched By Lenovo!
The smart speaker market has
grown a lot in the past and Virtual or Voice assistants have seen more growth.
The top player in the game is of course Google assistant and according to a
recent test google assistant is better in all fields. But, We all probably knew
that already as most of us use it every day for tasks like creating shopping
lists, Queries, Fun, Productivity etc. and ever since smart speakers came along
everyone just yells “Hey Google” to get their answers.
But with these
speakers you could only get directions and answers by voice which is not the
most convenient thing in many conditions. For example when you ask assistant a recipe
in the kitchen it just talks you through the process, when it would be convenient
to ask assistant to play a video and not require your phone to be around. Well,
for situations like this Lenovo launched the smart display with Google
Assistant integrated.
The Smart
Display is Assistant with a screen and also has some decent hardware. It has a
Snapdragon 624 to process and manage everything, and has 2GB and 4GB RAM
options. It can also make video calls on Google Duo and supports Wi-Fi 802.11
ac network support. It has a 5MP camera at the top right corner which can
record up to 720p resolution. As the Smart Display is going to be in your house
at all times Lenovo thought about privacy and uses a physical shutter that
hides the camera and the mic can also be muted like the Google Home.
As it is a
Display with actions like “Hey Google, Good Morning.” Results like the
condition of traffic on your commute to work, the weather info and top news
will show up. You get a free three month YouTube Premium subscription too with
the purchase of the Lenovo Smart Display. You can play stuff from all kinds of
services like YouTube Play, HBO Now, Spotify, Pandora, Google Music etc. The
Smart Display comes in two distinct sizes 8” and a 10” display. The 10” display
will cost you 249.99 USD and the 8” display will cost you 199.99 USD.
The Lenovo
Smart Display is expected to start shipping from August for both the displays.
We have defiantly seen it beforehand at Google I/O 2018 and we think it was the
same device. The display is white and the smaller variant has grey plastic
cover on the back. We expect more of these kind of devices in the market from companies
like LG as Amazon has already been selling their own version of smart display
with Amazon Echo integration. And to read more of such Tech news you can visit
