Back in October at Google's Hardware event, one of the new pieces of hardware was a discrete, modest, but very meaningful update to the cheapest in-home device in Google's lineup: the Google Home Mini. That device is single-handedly responsible for the ingress of the Google Assistant into countless homes due to its diminutive size and price.

like the features, setup was difficult for some of my devices (August Door lock, kzbin.infoUgkxhB5YOMNj04GuoAosExygP4cH-dKeb4aB Bose speaker)... but all switches and outlets (5), thermostat, tankless water heater. Unfortunately all I can do is turn on/off Bose. It doesn't support volume or changing channels, but I believe that is due to the particular speaker I have.... Worth getting if you already have other devices to use it with... I don't sit around and ask Alexa questions much so that doesn't really matter to me....

I dunno.. I have three of those gen 1 mini's.. cant say that in my use I've ever actually touched them. For me they are a total hands off affair in their usage, and they were never music listening candidates. No doubt if you are starting out, I'd say go for the most up-to-date unit, but for me, I'm devoid of a reason to upgrade. It's an assistant, its an alarm, a timer, gives me answers to occasional obscure questions, tells me the weather, it sits near my bed so the volume is more than sufficient to listen to the news...

@Alex Reviews They are far better than the first version, sounds is better (far less tinny) and controls so much easier to navigate. Still not as good as the original homes but obviously more convenient especially with the hanging hook. I've have replaced two of my old minis and my daughter has taken the other two to uni so thank you Google much appreciated in our house hold. USB C would have made it easier but not that much of an issue in my opinion.

Nice review, but I was expecting more significant software improvements. 1. "lights for volume": really?, people can`t find the volume touching areas?..ok.. not my case 2. "recovering center touch functionality": for play/pause that's ok and fine, but not really significant for changing from the old one to the new one. 3. "better sound": good improvement but, in my case again, I'm fine how the old one sounds like, and I do listen music using it, as you say, not a wall shaker but it is fine for me. 4. "cut-out at the bottom": ........not necessary for me. Nevertheless, I can just use a strong double sided tape if this is extremely extremely necessary. 5. "No micro-usb cable": Actually a bad thing for me. So basically is not worth the upgrade for me, but thanks for the video

People should just stick with what they already have until it bombs out.

Just FYI. The reason Google is now using the barrel jack is because the nest mini nest more power delivery for the new amplifier. That's why you have a better sound. Sure they could have supplied the higher voltage to the USB C but that would have been out of specification for that standard and you would still require the supplied power adapter because no other USB C adapter would work. Then there is the risk that people would end up using the higher voltage Google home adapter on their phones and end up frying them. This is why they opted for a barrel jack instead of USB C.

3 Things I’ve found in an Amazon/Google hybrid household is the cross fertilisation. First power and connectivity, I use an Ethernet USB connector on a Chromecast Audio ( that was originally for an Amazon device) and would love more of them to move devices off wifi to Ethernet or even power line - Qi charging would be worth a look too. Secondly the quality of Bluetooth connectivity as you can throw to an enabled device why not AptX HD, LE or some of the higher Sony standards. Finally looking at devices like the Echo Input, the original google amp, the Amazon plugs devices ( why not EOP ), battery operated and weather proof. There is soo much weird and wonderful china tech why not a some throw it at a wall stuff?

Upgrade to me means that I would give away my home mini to buy a nest mini. Currently BB has nest mini at 35 and home mini at 25, but it is easy to find the home mini for 15 since they've given so many away. I would say that if you only plan to ask google questions and tell it to do things, then the home mini is fine. However, if you ever plan on listening to podcasts or news then get the nest mini. For music, the nest mini may be an improvement but still falls short.

Ok, so I checked Google's website and it turns out that you have the same controls in the 1st gen Google Home Mini than in the 2nd gen Nest - you just tap the sides instead of the top. Minor issue for me, especially when you have the Mini usually positioned in a way that side taps are natural - you don't look for them. Also, the price difference is bigger than $10 where I live - it's more like $25 to $30 (comparing both used in mint condition).

The power adapter socket has valid reasons, microUSB to barrel sounds like a downgrade, whereas going to USB-C would have been a nice novelty. However, even the new Echo Dots come with the barrel adapters moved from microUSB from previous generations. One would wonder why both companies took the same approach with their progressive updates? Because these devices are now loaded with better sound outputs meaning bigger speaker drivers, that increases both levels and ranges. Also the microphones can now catch more feeble and distant wake words. What does all this performance take? It takes more power. The USB-C standard is generally reserved for 5V (or more if there are special quick charging standards). Now this device does not have a bettery, but has more power hungry components. The solution? The classic barrel adapter, reliable to deliver 14V at 1.1A. That's what the charger on the Nest Mini says. That is what it takes to drive these devices, and having a universal phone charging standard might actually be both detrimental to getting results and at 14V raw (instead of the standard 5V) without quick charging modes, the phones and tablets connected to the charger will get fried. So that would call for a smart charger design, which will increase the complexity of the package and would drive up costs. It will cost more than $39 then. There, detailed explanation. End of rant.

1. Touch zones. You're talking about upgrade - means, i already know, where volume/pause buttons are on my device. Don't care about it. 2. Sound. Nevertheless of sound quality on both speakers, it's pure masochism to listen music on that. Use BT speaker instead. Don't care again. 3. Screw hole. Ok, let it be. Although it's better to use cradle to avoid putting that screws here and there - cable will be hanging off that screw. Don't care. 4. Charging port. OMG really? Doesn't it designed to be just put on the place once, and just forget about how is it powered? I DON'T CARE. All in all, if i'd be buying new device - probably, i'd go for Nest. But still doubt.

I have both Echo and Google controlling my home..I did this with Apple and Google too years ago..I have TONS of itunes files but nothing to play them on....... Its like a mixed-race marriage.. I like them all ...my google mini would all of a sudden out of nowhere yell at me and would say..."I cant help you with that"..scared the crap out of me...Like in the middle of the night...!!! I put it downstairs in the den.... I have been using the Echo but I'm still a google fanboy... so many choices

They replaced the USB connector with a barrel connector because they don't want you to ever unplug your Nest mini in case you were thinking about charging another device.

I have just over a dozen smart speakers but just one from Google. I almost never ever use it. It was only for some devices that only worked through the google system but I guess I don’t use them that often because it’s been easily 3 months since I’ve said OK Google.

That volume button complaint was the stupidest thing I had heard in a fair while. It led to a breakdown of why. I’m convinced if you cannot draw and hold an invisible equator line on the google mini you would complain about this. You are welcome.

So, have they solved the problem that it might, probably is, listening and recording when you are not engaging with it? No. No. I bought 2 of the original minis, but now I leave the Mic off unless I want it to do something. Why? Because I don't want two surveillance devices in my house covertly listening, recording and reporting to god knows who. I can't even be sure the Mic is off just because I flip the switch to off. Not very useful now because Google's assurances of privacy give no reassurance at all. I see nothing in your review that the new mini gives greater privacy protection than the old one.

I'm being sent a free one, and I'm honestly not sure why I should want one, or what good it will be to me. I've had a Home Mini that I got for free in a promotion from my supermarket just sitting still in box, shrinkwrap and all, because I don't see the utility.

I just got a free one and wasn‘t sure either but it’s been amazing to use as a controller for some lights that are hard to switch on or off from bed in the middle of the night. Use that to change the color too. And it’s now controlling my Christmas lights too. Also handy in the morning to tell you about the commute and weather. Or to communicate to someone else on a different floor of your house if you have more than one, which I do now because I picked up a second one. :)

I do not understand why the best upgrade was left out. of this video.....the microphones. The first gen mic were so far below the amazon dot it was painful the nest mini now had mic's that can actually understand you and you don't feel like you are yelling at it. It makes it much better...if we could only get the stupid "ok google" changed we would be golden.
