Google Nest Mini (2nd Gen) with Google Assistant with Google Assistant Smart Speaker

Pretty good product, packed with alot of hidden features\nIt supports hindi as an secondary language, which makes it easier for my family members to use it.\nAlso the speaker quality is great and is adjustable in the equalizer according to personal liking\nBUT if you are buying this and want to use it for listing to songs for most of it, then make sure you have youtube premium subscription because you cant use it for free, also other free music platforms like spotify dont have all of the songs whereas youtube premium covers them all!

This is the first time that I have used a Google smart speaker extensively, (I spent a couple minutes with my aunt’s Google home, the original one) and after a few days of having this little guy, I must say I am impressed.\n\nThe packaging was simple and straight to the point. Inside came the speaker, a round power cable and a quick start guide. I really like the look and feel of the device. The speaker is round, and the cover looks and feels like a cloth-like material and I would be surprised if it really wasn’t cloth. On the bottom of the speaker there is a small notch that allows you to mount the Nest mini onto a wall, this is a great addition to have as you’re now not limited to place it on your desk or counter. Also, there is a physical switch that allows you to turn off the microphone. I also appreciate that it has touch controls on the top underneath the cloth. It allows you to play/pause in the center while on either end a tap will allow you to set the volume to your preference, with the LED lights on top indicating the volume level\n.\nWhen it comes to audio, this little guy puts out much more sound than I thought it would, to be specific, I mean it got much louder than I thought it would. Also, the bass feedback is pretty good especially when your place it against an appropriate surface. Loudest is not the only thing though, the sound comes through clearly and there is very little distortion at high volumes. I threw various genres at it, and all sounded reasonably well. This speaker isn’t necessarily aimed purely at listening to music, so keep that in mind when you look at these.\n\nSetting this up with my phone (android) was straightforward and easy. Download the Home app and it picks it up and sets it up quickly. After that you’re ready to use Google Voice Assistant, which is better than ever. With a quick “Hey google” you can begin asking it a plethora of things as well asking it to play music from any of your music streaming apps (i.e. Pandora, Spotify, YouTube music). Another thing I must point out is that the Nest mini is very good at picking out my voice from surrounding noise, such as from a TV or from another speaker playing in the room. This must be a result of the mic combination within the Nest mini as well as Google’s software for voice recognition, well done Google.\n\nIf you’re looking for a little companion for a small space that will be a great voice assistant, the Nest mini will be a great buy, whether for someone new to smart speakers or someone who already has a google ecosystem set up at home and wants to add a new speaker to another room.

Not much useful because of restrictions.\n1. Cannot connect to mobile using bluetooth. It’s connected via wifi only.\n2. Cannot be used for calling purpose in India. You can use it for call as loudspeaker for calling.\n3. It doesn’t contain battery, only work when you have electricity, can’t even use power bank to play music.\n4. Works for YouTube premium subscription only. You can play YouTube songs directly or indirectly from mobile also.\n5. Not comfortable to change song on ganna, wync audio app.\n6. Problem in connection with smart Tv which I purchased along with Google Nest.\n7. Made In China\n\nWell quality of product is very good but to use this you need to spend more money on subscriptions and other. They are using marketing strategy to earn more money.

Nice working, as more you use this device as much you appreciate it and the device understand you better.\nI am using it for Morning news,bhajans, meditation music and casting anything to my TV.\nBroadcast is also a good feature with it you can broadcast your own voice in this speaker from anywhere.

It’s good smart speaker. But I see one cons \n\nThere should be Blue tooth as well where we can just connect through blue tooth and play songs only through mobile.\n if the wifi is not working just looks like waste.
