Lenovo Smart Display: A worthy rival to the Echo Show

Lenovo's Google-powered Smart Display is a worthy Amazon Echo Show rival. Not only does it sport a stylish design along with a stunning display and superb speakers, it's also a great showcase for all of the extra functionality and features that Google...

Stylish design ; Gorgeous display ; Great sound quality ; Integrates with many Google apps and services ; The only smart display on the market with YouTube

Not as functional as a tablet in some areas ; Don’t have full access to YouTube subscriptions

Lenovo Smart Display Review: Show & Tell for the Google Assistant

Lenovo's Smart Display brings show & tell to the Google Assistant, adding a touchscreen to the smart speaker and taking on Amazon's Echo Show in the process. First of a series of display-enabled Assistant devices to make it to shelves, Lenovo's gadget...

Lenovo's design is sleeker than Echo Show ; 10-inch touchscreen is bright and colorful ; Google Assistant is increasingly full-functioned ; Privacy shutter for camera is welcome

Third-party integrations vary in how good they are ; Touchscreen can feel underutilized at times ; No support for G Suite accounts ; Duo video calls can be temperamental

Lenovo smart Display review: The first Google Assistant display is here

Google smart displays were heavily pushed at CES 2018 and the Lenovo smart Display is the first one to hit the market. Read the full review here.

Such a beautiful hardware design ; The display is rich and vibrant ; Google Assistant is still the best AI ; The price is fair for the functionality ; Great software design

The sound is good but not amazing ; This may not be for you if you're not tied to Google services ; It needs services like Hulu and Netflix

The Lenovo smart Display is something unique. It’s a brilliant device especially for those who use a lot of Google services. The hardware and the software are both brilliant in their design. I’d be happy to have this on our counter and hopefully, more...

Lenovo Smart Display (10-inch) Review

When Google announced Smart Displays at CES 2018, they introduced a new to visually interact with the Google Assistant. It also gave Google a leg up on Amazon, as an answer to the Echo Show and Echo Spot. One of the first Smart Displays to be released...

Great screen ; Built-in camera for Google Duo calls ; Virtually does everything a Google Home can do ; Can be used as a Google Cast destination (except for Netflix) ; Privacy shutter for the camera and mic mute switch ; Anker announces the...

May not be useful if you already have a Google Home device ; Speakers can sound distorted a higher volume ; Slow to play music when casting

Overall, the Lenovo Smart Display is a great device for those who want a Google Assistant-powered smart speaker but wanted one with a screen.

Lenovo Smart Display review: The Google Assistant now has a face

The first smart display with the Google Assistant is here—is it worth $249?

Minimalist yet quirky design. ; Loud speakers. ; Physical mic-off and camera shutter toggles. ; Suggested followup commands make it easier to know what to say next. ; YouTube experience is actually not bad, thanks to Google's search capabilities. ;...

Still no lexicon of acceptable commands and their functions. ; No way to see your YouTube subscription feed. ; Currently, Google Duo is the only program that supports portrait orientation. ; Sending messages isn't supported yet. ; Continued...

Let's return to the question posed at the beginning of this review: do you need the Google Assistant to have a screen, a face of sorts, that gives you tangible opportunities to interact with it? Testing the Smart Display showed me that it's not...

Google and Lenovo's Smart Display Trounces Amazon's in Every Way

Despite Amazon having a two-year head start versus Google in the smart speaker wars, earlier this year, sales of Google Home devices surpassed all of Amazon's Echoes for the first time ever. And while Amazon still holds the overall lead in market...

Big screen, slick design and UI, better streaming video support, and on/off toggles for mic and camera

Lenovo Smart Display review

Google Assistant gets a face

Visual Google Assistant is awesome ; Beautiful and intelligent design ; Excellent audio and video quality ; Google Duo calling a neat feature

Can go portrait only for Duo ; Visual Google Assistant needs work ; No far-field microphones

Lenovo Smart Display is a fine first outing for Google’s Smart Display initiative, expanding Google Assistant immensely and granting it far more depth. That said, the visual Google Assistant could do with further development, and the speaker lacks...

Lenovo Smart Display

The Lenovo Smart Display brings the Google Assistant to a bigger display than Google's own Home Hub, and fits in a video camera and a solid speaker to boot. Here's what we think.
