Google Home Advantages and Downsides

Modern home assistants such as Google Home and Amazon Echo are getting a lot of coverage lately yet what exactly are their uses, and are they worth buying? Here's all you need to grasp about the newest of automated home assistants.

In this text, we'll provide you a list of Google Home's capabilities and explain how it stands up to the similar Amazon Echo.

What Can Google Home Do?

Google Home is a smart device that one can speak to and tell it to do something. It can be used to play music in your home, get it to handle everyday choirs for you and pose Google questions and find answers. This smart device has the ability to make use of a different apps and gadgets that you own, which includes music platforms such as Spotify and smart devices for home like Telstra Smart Home and D-Link as well.

What Can Amazon Echo Do?

Like Google Home, Amazon Echo is also a smart electronic device that can be controlled with voice. The Newer version Echo Plus is able to connect to the Alexa Voice Service, so you can start phone calls, play some music, send and obtain valuable messages and recieve all the information you'd like to have, like weather info and everyday news. Echo Plus is equipped with seven microphones and its sound is Dolby based.

Google Home and Amazon Echo

Having all of these possibilities is great, but is one better? The Echo was the first virtual assistant created for homes, but the question remains, does it perform better than Google Home? Well, the answer is not so straightforward and obvious.

I'll continue this line of thought by mentioning that both the Google Home and Amazon Echo are excellent devices and you really can't miss with either one. And with time they'll likely become more and more similar to each other, as their producers add new capabilities and strengthen a few points where they are currently falling short.

Hey, they could even be further improved to work even better with many other smart devices in your home like smart locks.

Downsides of the both devices

Well, to be frank there ain't much disadvantages to both of them. In my opinion, for what they're able to achieve, their producers could charge a lot more. But, as Google and Amazon are fighting for market shares, the prices should remain relatively low, which is great for all potential buyers.

In comparison to its alternative, the Amazon Echo, Google Home is not compatible with as many number of other devices. So, you cannot purchase stuff from Amazon, and you are left to choose between only 2 options one being Home and other Mini and its price is a bit bigger.

Yet, the main advantage of Google Home is that it is Google device. There is no IT company on our little blue planet that can index and organize data at a level and as good as Google can. That, in addition to their advanced algorithms in voice search, gives Google Home a serious advantage that is hard to beat by anyone.
