Google Home, the smart home accessory debuted by the search engine giant at the I/O expo last year, finally launches in the UK. The compact gadget is currently available online on John Lewis for GBP129, among other physical stores and retailers, Know Your Mobile noted.
Google describes it in its blog as:
"With a simple “Ok Google” you can play songs, artists, radio stations, your favorite playlists and more from Google Play Music, Pandora, Spotify, TuneIn and YouTube Music with additional services like iHeartRadio coming soon. You can also play a podcast while making pasta or listen to today’s news while tying your shoes. And if you just want to stream audio directly from your phone, you can cast music to Google Home from 100+ Chromecast-enabled apps on your Android or iOS device. Google Home’s smart audio design integrates a high-excursion driver with a dual passive radiator design that delivers crystal-clear highs and deep lows for Hi-Fi sound that streams over WiFi. That means a lot of big sound from a small package. Even while you jam out to music, it can easily hear you from across the room, thanks to two omnidirectional microphones and neural beamforming."
Google believes that customers shouldn’t be bothered about the speakers installed in the gadget. However, Mirror UK thinks that Google Home, and just about every smart accessory, may not sit well with people who do not like to have their information collected. Google Home’s rival, Amazon Alexa, was brought up in a murder inquiry the same year the former was launched.
But to be able to have a device that can allow you to perform certain tasks using voice commands will certainly be appealing to the generation who is used to smart devices. The Sun notes that Google Home, which is slightly cheaper than Amazon Alexa (GBP 149.99), comes in a variety of colors, including customizable fabric and metal bases. The gadget also allows users to ask follow-up questions unlike its rival, and uses YouTube Music, Google Play Music, Spotify, Pandora, TuneIn, and iHeart Radio as its resources.
All shipments will be shipped in June, Google told the BBC.
