New Google Home Features Keep Up Competition With Amazon Echo

Description

Google had a host of new features to announce for its smart home speaker, Google Home, at this year’s Google IO. From offering proactive notifications, to free phone calls, expanding its music support and offering visual responses to queries, Google is working hard to expand its smart speaker’s functionality. But what was surprising about many of the announcements is how closely they mirror similar ones made by Amazon with its Amazon Echo in the past couple of weeks.

  • The Battle Of The Smart Speakers, Amazon, Homepod, Google Home

    There was a time when the Amazon Echo was the only smart speaker on the block, but times are changing as Google Home and Apple's Homepod give Amazon Echo a good bit of healthy competition. As far as price points go Amazon may still be winning in the minds of frugal consumers. Apples Homepod which will be available later this year comes with a price tag of $349 a pop which Apple says is justified based on the extra bells and whistles that will make this speaker stand out above the rest. Features of all the Smart Speaker options include, streaming music directly from your phone or tablet, and popular online music services as well as having a smart assistant built-in to the products.
