Google Nest Mini: 09 things you need to know

The new generation of Assistant
Google Home Mini was launched in 2017 as the mini, but powerful version of Google Home with all the capabilities of Google Assistant to keep your hands free in every room of the house. Google Nest Mini is smarter and faster than the original. Google Nest Mini is the next generation built from the ground up, with brand new hardware, including a dedicated machine learning chip with up to 1 TeraOPS processing capacity.

More powerful sound
With 40% more bass than the original Google Home Mini, Nest Mini produces richer, more natural sound and lets you hear more detail while staying true to the artist's choices. We have developed proprietary audio tuning software that allows Nest Mini to distribute bass well and improve sound.

Whole house sound
Connect Nest Mini to your other Nest smart speakers and displays to create a whole home audio system. Bundle multiple speakers or use streaming to listen to music or podcasts between compatible devices around the house via voice command, the Google Home app, or Nest’s touchscreen. Just say, "Ok Google, move the music to the living room speaker" (or the name of your device), to give it a try.

A more useful Assistant with a new voice
Nest Mini will also dynamically adjust the volume of the Assistant, news, and podcasts based on the background noise that may be occurring at that time. So if the dishwasher is running and you ask for the weather, the wizard's response volume will be a little higher than usual. And we recently launched a new voice in nine additional languages: German, French, Dutch, Norwegian, Italian, Korean, Japanese and English in the UK.

Fun for the whole family
Make sure the whole family benefits. Break times help your family disconnect from technology during dinner, sleep, or special moments. With family-friendly filters, you can block access to music for spoken words and control video services.

Get more out of your Google Assistant
Reminders in the Google Assistant help families and roommates work together better and stay organized, at home or on the go. You can set up reminders so your partner or roommate can do things like pick up groceries, pay a recurring bill, walk the dog - or send them a cheer note when they need it most ("Ok Google , remind Mary that she will do well in tomorrow's exam. ”)

Well thought out for your home
Nest Mini is available in four colors: Chalk, Charcoal, Coral and (new) Sky. It is covered with a durable, personalized fabric made from 100% recycled plastic bottles, and the outer case is also made from at least 35% post-consumer recycled plastic. A half-liter plastic bottle is enough to make enough fabric for two Nest Minis. Nest Mini is designed to be wall mounted, allowing you to maximize space on shelves and worktops.

More intuitive when you need it Nest Mini also uses ultrasonic technology to facilitate control. If the sound is playing, lights come on as you approach so you can adjust the volume. Media content can still be played or paused by lightly pressing the top of the device.

Keep in touch
Nest smart screens and speakers now have an intercom function, so you can talk to everyone at home from your phone or another Nest speaker or screen. You can also call your home directly from the device where your Google Home app is installed and your Nest Mini will ring. And with Google Duo, you can make and receive calls with other Duo users on your Google Nest screen or on your Google Nest speakers.

No more connected devices at home
Nest Mini works with 30,000 smart devices from 3,500 brands such as Philips Hue, TP Link, etc. Use voice control to dim the light, turn off the TV, etc. The Google Nest family of products works seamlessly: use Mini to control your Nest Thermostat, or monitor your home with Nest Cams, Google Nest smart speakers or screens, and Chromecast.
