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...

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.

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

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...
