Less third-party app support than Amazon Echo, Assistant doesn't sound as good as Amazon Alexa, microphone pick-up limited when music is playing
Does two decades of search experience give Home the upper hand over Amazon Echo? In terms of search results, yes. But is it the better product? Not always. Home might be better looking, but it's not as well rounded. yet.That's largely because Home is in...
Great design, Decent sound, Reasonable price point, Conversational assistant, Easy setup
Limited smart home compatibility, Speaker isn't very loud, Needs to be plugged in at all times
The Amazon Echo and Alexa maintain their crown for now, but the cheaper Google Home and the powerful Assistant have the potential to be better over time...

It can be personalized to you, giving you info on your commute, weather, and calendar, Works with Chromecast, Answers questions and follow-ups fairly well, Lots of choices for music
Can only link to one Google account for now, Limited smart home control
Yes. If you have a Chromecast, the Google Home is the clear choice over an Alexa device, but if you're looking for a voice-controlled speaker with a smart assistant, they're both pretty good options, and it comes down to personal preference. At the moment...

Missing Google's own services, Phrasing needs to be precise, No Bluetooth

The Home's integrations with other Google services still don't allow a lot of give and take -- you can't create reminders or make a to-do list
While the Google Home shows a ton of potential, it's currently not as versatile or useful as Amazon's Echo -- though we expect it to improve in the days and months ahead...
So which is better? That's a tough question to answer right now as Google Home isn't even on sale yet, and there's no confirmed UK release date. So if you're itching to get something right now, the Echo is your only choice. There's no doubt that the Assis...
