hi everyone I'm Ricky from Tech Talk and today we're unboxing and getting our
first look at the Google home Mini so let's get into the unboxing and setup
process so the Google home Mini is smaller mighty that's their tagline and
say hello to the Google own mini that can be paired with your Google home we
can use this on its own so at the moment around the Christmas period it's been
selling for about thirty four ninety nine' most places are still selling at
this price they first come out it was $49.99 which is quite expensive the
hands-free help around the home powered by Google assistant so look around the
packaging first I have chosen the charcoal color here there are two other
colors you've got a chalk color which is a kind of white whitish creamy sort of
color and then you have coral which is quite a bright red which I think looks
very bright and very nice so on the side here you can see third-party
applications such as Netflix Spotify and you have the hue lighting system and
other smart home applications that work alongside the Google home Mini and also
smart home products there is a website down here as well that you can go and
check out for further information if you do have any questions or queries about
third-party applications or smart home tech drop comment down below and I'll
sure to help you out so turning it around to the side here we've got some
more information that I'm going to so Google home Mini is powered by the
Google assistant asked it questions tell it to do things it's never been easier

new sharp and I fear this is razor sharp so down in here on the bottom you just
have a bit more information and then you also have a tab you just need to pull
here we got a nice reveal of our Google home mini here this is the charcoal
speaker underneath you have let's get started this is your paperwork

plug which they have changed compared to the previous single home which has a
micro USB they're taking a closer look at our Google home mini here it's a nice
fabric design so nice shape as well down here at the bottom you'll see your port
and then you have a switch here you've got a rubberized pedal or foot stand for
it to sit on so it won't slip and also won't mark do like design this very
sleek very stylish so let's plug it in going to need a smartphone to set up the
Google home application which is available from Android or iOS now our
Google home Mini has all been set up in the application here on iOS it's very
easy to do on Android as well just search the Google Play Store you have
loads of information in here as well giving details that you can maybe ask
google look through linked accounts as well remember there's loads of links for
different accounts that you can connect and control and third-party applications
and smart home technology as well so I want to show you the speaker itself

or off so it doesn't matter so it doesn't hear you all the time in your
booklet here that comes along in the packaging you do have some control
systems as well so in the middle you do have your main play/pause and also
