One of the latest trends in the technological world is the so-called smart screens with built-in voice assistant. Basically, it's the evolution of a smart speaker, adding a visual element such as screen viewing.
The offer is getting wider and here we collect some very interesting suggestions.
If you just want a smart speaker off-screen, here we provide the analysis the best speakers you can buy this year, whether they're working with Siri, Cortana, Alexa or Google Google.
For all intents and purposes, a sensible screen, a tablet that has a base and is fully electrically connected, unlike tablets that use their battery.
As a rule, the screen does not change much (although various models are starting to appear), while the base has speakers to provide audio of some quality.
Some features are equipped with a microphone so you can use voice control, while others have a front-end video camera for videoconference to communicate with third parties.
Amazon has hit the road in this area with the Echo Show, just as it did with a smart speaker. Some have followed in their footsteps, with the rest focused on Google's solutions. This does not prove that they are the best, as we will see below.
Lenovo has partnered with Google to present its upgraded Smart Display with an 8- and 10-inch screen size, which can change its position to use it both in stand-alone mode.
Keep reading and we tell you in this article the best and worst of every screen available on the market.
Speaking of pricing, just last May Google introduced its Nest Hub model at a staggering € 129 price which prompted some manufacturers to reconsider their offering of models.
With the exception of one screen specification, you should pay attention to choosing between Alexa and Google Assistant. Each device has its own advantages of providing better performance depending on the function you provide.
And think about the type of devices and their operating system, so that you can integrate as much as possible, all those products that you send to your digital home. Harmony begins to unfold in the domestic realm, and you have to make sure everything is understood.
The best Smart Display of 2020
Lenovo Smart Display 10
Lenovo's commitment to smart displays in the form of Smart Display results in a few very interesting products that promise to offer better quality than Google Nest Hub with two large 8- and 10-inch screens and the introduction of front-facing video cameras.
This way, the first great feature installed by both types of smart devices is the ability to make video calls using the Google Duo. Their design allows them to rotate the position between position and landscape mode, so that they can adapt to each situation.
Large screen for 10 "Smart Display It's amazing, especially if you're looking for content production, travel information, or learning modes. The viewing angle of its IPS panel is too wide to be viewed from any angle with FHD quality of 1920 x 1200 pixels, band combination MIMO Wi-Fi and Bluetooth 4.2.
The 10-watt front-facing speakers (on the side of the screen) sound amazing with deep bass and just enough volume to fill the room, far beyond what we expected to get on a device centered on your screen.
If you regularly make video calls to communicate with your family members on a daily basis, this should be your decision to get the best experience and quality, both video and audio.
Clock update for Lenovo Smart
This is what Lenovo offers to its Smart Clock device, a smart and advanced clock that works with Google Assistant and has a 4-inch screen to interact with other smart devices in your home.
It's the concept of a simpler and more differentiating device compared to what was on the market: the Mini Mini with a screen. Despite its simplicity, its design is elegant and compact, and the interactive interface has some clever functions that can be expected, such as scheduling an alarm clock quickly and efficiently.
We find that, although the Lenovo Smart Clock incorporates Bluetooth technology, it does not benefit from being able to sync with other devices, at least not yet. At its best it should be noted that it has an extra USB type connector that you can charge your mobile battery with when you leave it on the bedside table.
Google Nest Hub
If there is one feature that especially brings out the new Nest Hub that is now for sale in Spain for its low price, however, we think it has a lot of great improvements to its predecessor known as Google Home Hub.
Its design is neat and tidy, with an 8-inch screen size that you can place anywhere in the house, including the kitchen. It is here that you can offer your great splendor to many through guided cooking as you cook.
It's pretty clear that it doesn't have a front camera, something that includes Lenovo Smart Display models, and audio quality isn't the best, but it's all coupled with low acquisition price, competition with smart speakers off-screen for a price of € 99 (for example Amazon Echo).
Nest Hub with the best screen where a Google Assistant can show and tell. You may find it a little trickier with places like the living room, but in general, it works great for all kinds of activities, including streaming music, watching videos or simply showing useful information on your screen.
Amazon Echo Show 5
Echo Show 5 might be the best voice assistant presented in the cheapest screen genre you can find in the market, or yes, based on Alexa compared to Google's Assistant models.
Its screen is small, only 5.5 centimeters with a low resolution of only 960 x 480 pixels that prevents the video display from being optimized, but that does not prevent the sequence of images or areas shown to have a specific location.
Similarly, the front camera has a low resolution, of only one megapixel, covered and covered by a cover to enable or disable it to fit the user, Echo Show 5 microphone.
Amazon Echo Spot
If you want the best features on Amazon Smart Display you should keep your eyes on it
It has a 2.5 inch circular screen and a VGa front of 640 x 480 pixels. For audio, it is possible to use a 3.5 mm connection to physically connect to any external source.
Echo Spot It syncs with devices installed in the digital home, such as cameras, lights, thermostats and sensors. Aided by a host of Alexa-enhanced capabilities, you can get the most out of a smart voice assistant with a built-in screen.
Lenovo Smart 8 display
The main difference between the 8-inch and 10-inch Smart Display is that the first screen is HD-type, while the aforementioned is for high-quality FHD.
For some things, they both have a Qualcomm Home Hub platform with integrated CPU, GPU and DSP, high-speed communication, and RAM and Flash storage in the form of EMMC internally.
Physically and for design purposes, they are the same regardless of size, with a base plan that you can place on the table directly and vertically. You have control over the volume or cancel the microphone and its camera sensor.
The big difference with the Google Nest Hub model lies in taking video calls, something that can partially cost 50 € more than you should model of Lenovo Smart Display.
The manufacturer is closely aligned with Google to join the app ecosystem and get the most out of this smart assistant. However, for all the other functions provided by the return, the Nest Hub model makes it difficult depending on the price.
