- Hey Google, how do you say,
hit that 'like' button in Korean?
- [Google Home Mini] (in foreign language)
- Yeah do that.
- What's your favorite thing about the Google Home Mini?
- Does it get loud?
How was the audio quality?
- Do you feel like the new Google Home Mini is worth it?
- Jonathon here and today I'm answering some questions
on the brand new Google Home Mini.
Got a chance to spend the last two days with it,
get familiar with it.
And big shout out to everyone who sent in questions.
You guys are amazing.
Now his Q&A is a paid partnership with Google
so big thanks to them for making that happen, but also for
letting me check out the Google Home Mini early.
So as far as the unboxing goes,
you have some clean packaging, which really matches
the aesthetic of the Google Home Mini,
but before you can get inside
you must first get through a really satisfying pull tab.
From there, right smack in the front
is the Google Home Mini.
And this color is what Google's calling Chalk,
but there's also Charcoal and Coral.
Now I've yet to see Charcoal or Coral in person,
but I gotta say I really dig the looks of Chalk.
I think clean is probably the best word to describe it
and overall I think Google Home Mini
is a really good looking piece of tech.
From there, set up was super simple.
This is done through the Google Home app
and whether you're on Android or iOS,
Google Home Mini is going to work on both.
So now that we're all set up
I think it's time we test this little guy out.
Hey Google, tell me about yourself.
- I'm your Google Assistant and I can play games.
I was just practicing my game show voice
in case you wanted to play Lucky Trivia.
(laughs)
- Hey Google, what am I thinking right now?
- You're thinking if my Google Assistant
guesses what I'm thinking, I'm going to freak out.
- Hey Google, how do you say
Austin Evans is jacked in Spanish?
- (in foreign language)
(laughs)
- (in foreign language)
(laughs)
- (in foreign language)
(laughs)
- Okay, I'm done.
- So my only question is,
what's the difference between the normal Google Home
and the Google Home Mini?
- So that is hands down the question
that I got asked the most and before I answer that directly,
I'm gonna first say I was really surprised
with the sound quality on the Google Home Mini.
Okay Google, play Gramatik.
(electronic music)
Okay Google, stop.
(electronic music)
So that is obviously not gonna fill the room
like the Google Home would,
but it's pretty impressive nonetheless.
So to dissect that question just a little bit further,
I think it's gonna come down to price point.
Yeah, the Google Home does sound better
but maybe you wanna put these in multiple rooms,
you can do that.
You can get three of these
for basically the price of a Google Home.
- Is the Google Mini really mini?
- I don't have an official mini scale,
but looking at it up close I would say, yeah it's mini.
- Does the Google Home Mini also function
as a Bluetooth speaker?
- It does and that's actually how I was able to hop
back and forth between the Google Home and Google Home Mini
for that audio comparison.
The one thing you will need remember though
is that it's not a portable speaker so you will need
to be plugged into a wall, but other than that
you definitely can play music through Bluetooth.
- Jonathan, do they have a headphone port
so you can plug em to external speakers?
- So the Google Home Mini, there is no analog audio output,
but if you do wanna get this to an external set of speakers
you can still do that with Chromecast Audio.
- Is someone like me with a gaming setup,
what would I wanna use it for?
- So if you're with a gaming setup I'm going to assume
one you are part of the PC master race
and two because of that
you more than likely dig that color RGB lighting
so with that the ability to maybe match your lighting
with your gaming setup and control it with your voice
is reason enough to jump into that for me.
- Hey Jonathan, can the Google Home Mini
tell you where's the best place to eat tacos
or any Mexican food?
- Hey Google, where's the best place
to get tacos in Los Angeles?
- I found a few top rated places.
The first one is Best Fish Taco In Ensenada
on 1650 Hillhurst Ave in Los Angeles.
- The answer is clearly yes.
So to answer that dog's question,
yeah it works great with both Phillips Hue and LIFX
and it's kinda nice knowing
that two of the major lighting players in the game
will work with Google Home Mini so you can do things like,
hey Google, turn the lights blue.
- Okay, changing the LIFX to blue.
- Hey Google, dim the light to 0%.
- You got it.
- Aside from that, thank you guys very much for watching
and again, huge shout out to Google
