Google is reportedly working on a smart display for its Home speaker; will launch later this year
Monday, August 20, 2018 IST
The next big addition to Google's line of smart home products could be a display that complements its Home smart speaker. With Amazon already ruling the space with its screen-supported Echo Show, it might be the right time for Google to step in.
The search giant is said to be working on a screen sporting the Home device, Nikkei Asian Review reports. The device is said to be similar to the Amazon Echo Show with Google Home speakers and Google Assistant at the core.
The display will be voice-controlled and projected to allow users to play YouTube videos, check calendars and view maps. Google is likely to start shipping the smart screen-enabled devices before holidays, with an initial goal of 3 million units for the first batch.
Google launched the ‘Google Home’ at a price of Rs 9,999 and the ‘Google Home Mini’ for a price of Rs 4,499 in India. Over the last year, Google has launched the Assistant in Hindi in Allo, brought the English Assistant to more phones, and made a special version available for Reliance Jio feature phones.
The Google Assistant lets you have a conversation with Google to help you get things done in your world from telling you about your day, to finding the fastest route to work, or just setting an alarm for the next day all in Hindi. To try it out, just touch and hold the Home button or say "Ok Google" on eligible smartphones and your personal Google Assistant will be ready to help you throughout your day. Even when your hands are full, you can quickly send text messages, set reminders, or get directions with the Google Assistant.
Powered by machine learning, the Google Assistant is built on two decades of experience in Search as well as natural language understanding, computer vision, and understanding user context. That's how your Assistant is able to understand intent behind words to handle follow-up questions and complex, multi-step tasks. And it'll get better over time -- with your permission, it can learn your preferences, your likes and your dislikes -- all done in a private, secure way that puts you in control.
