Lenovo has just launched the first Google Assistant smart display device which will start shipping this weekend in what stands as a very good smart device embedded with smart and intelligent features whose specs places it as a desirable device and good competitor for Amazon’s Echo Show.

This device is the first among the smart displays showcased at this year’s Consumer Electronics Show by Google with LG, Sony and JBL also expected to release their own versions.

Lenovo’s new smart display comes in two sizes being the 8-inch and 10-inch full HD models costing $199 and $249 respectively. The smart speaker integrates well with Google’s ecosystem and services providing a valuable tool for consumers who can make use of the device to perform various tasks including streaming live or recorded shows from the likes of YouTube TV, YouTube Music, HBO Now, Spotify, Google Play Music and Pandora and also listen to audiobooks and others among several other tasks.

The Lenovo smart display is set up through the mobile Google Home app connecting to WiFi and an accompanying Google account just as in the case of the Google Home smart speaker and spots the Android Things OS made particularly for Internet of Things devices offering voice control for the fulfillment of requests by the user.

The device spots an elegant design with a rubber feet at the end providing the ability to stand both in horizontal and vertical positions offering both normal and portrait mode views even when as of now the only task supported for portrait mode is video calling which is prone to change as Google continually dishes out software updates.

The smart display stands peculiar, intelligent and consumer friendly representing part of Google’s continuous efforts in delivering consumer hardware products for effective use as the company looks to vastly expand its services beyond its main search business which it has already done a very good job at.

Its visual display makes the Google Assistant powered device more appealing to consumers and smart speaker users alike which is bound to make its adoption much more better across several homes, offices and other places.
