    Hey, so fun fact, the Google Home mini actually does have sensors in the middle. They were just disabled because they were too sensitive, to the point where they would randomly activate the assistant. Google later fixed the problem by deactivating those sensors.

    Actually the old Google Home Mini did have a touch sensor on the top as it originally had a function where you could tap it to invoke Google Assistant instead of using the keyword, but it would trigger on its own so Google disabled it. There was a whole debacle regarding this before the device even officially hit store shelves (it happened to a few tech journos). It's odd that they didn't bring this feature back in the Nest Mini since the "button" on the top works just fine.

    @raymondgreenwood1 Před 3 lety +1

    I have both and tbh no it’s really not needed unless you really need the upgraded speaker quality or the wall mount means a lot. As mentioned speaker quality is noticeable.. I also have the nest Home Hub once again speaker quality is noticeable seeing that we are using them for light switches and alarm clocks and turning on and off TVs I cannot justify purchasing new devices for sound quality when the sound quality is not that bad to begin with. It’s like the 10” home hub. Unless Zoom is offered I really don’t use video conferencing and I prefer a mobile device for that.. I have a laptop and tablets so it’s not needed in that space for me but I do like having a device I can see the time, pictures of my wife and kids, or just not turning on my bedroom TV but just activating the home hub to take care of that task. I also have a Echo just for minor task to keep confusion down and take care of some gaps in compatibility

    I just received my new nest mini & don't really see much difference from my home mini other than what was pointed out. I got mine as a free gift from youtube but I'd say if you have the google home mini, I don't think it's really necessary to buy and upgrade to the nest mini.

So I just bought the nest two hopefully it works! On the original just kept saying can't find Xbox and I had the option on the Xbox for commands on for Google assistant. Like my Google home wasn't recognizing the Xbox on my phone it was weird. Everything was working fine until like a day ago and it doesn't recognize the Xbox anymore or anything

    The google home had a top sensor but removed the functionality of it because it kept turning on rondomly

      That was only the very early ones. The average Google Home Mini doesn't have that feature. They didn't call it 2nd Generation then to avoid freaking people out, the new model just appeared on shelves.

    Basically not alot difference between the Google mini & Nest mini. Overall I love Google more than Amazon Alexia.

    If you hv connection troubles, the best possible solution I found was;
    *take it outside on a hard surface in the sun
    *grab your favourite hammer and wohlah!
    Best 'connection' experience i hav had with this device ever.

      You can get a Nest Mini for free if you have Spotify Premium.

      The sound in person is a pretty decent difference but if you already have a mini it doesn’t need to be upgraded or if you only have one you can but the nest does sound better

    nothing really new, at home you barely hear any sound quality differences and the second generation doesnt fit in my wall bracket...so i would have to buy a new one too...nope...oh and the second gen has more power consumption, which means it will costs more, and due to the fact that it is a 24/7 device...no thanks!
