Google Nest Mini: The Upgrades
Faster It is supposed to be. Google has integrated a "machine learning chip with up to one teraOPS of processing power" into the Nest Mini, which remembers certain commands, functions and actions that are repeated frequently and stores them on the device, making them quicker to access. The sound should also have improved. Above all, the bass should be 40% better at full volume than in the Google Home Mini. There are now LEDs that come on when your hand approaches the device. These show where you have to touch the new mini speaker, for example to reduce the volume.
The way food is Recognition of the voice at high volume was improved by software and a third microphone. Playback is also adjusted dynamically. So if you are in a noisy environment it will be the answer or the music. Podcast and the like also output louder or quieter if you are in a quiet environment.
Special features of the design
According to Google, the fabric cover of the Google Nest Mini is said to have been made from 100% used and recycled plastic bottles. A single 0,5l bottle provides enough material to cover more than two Nest Minis. The outer case consists of 35% recycled plastic.

On the underside there is now a recess for a nail because you can use it to hang the Mini on the wall.
At the start of sales, we have two of four color options available: "Chalk" (white) and "Carbon" (black). In the USA you would still get the colors sky (blue) and coral (red). The price is also different. In America, the Nest Mini is available for $ 49. In Germany for 59 €. This keeps the price the same. You can buy the little speaker now in the Google Store and soon at other dealers.
