Nest Audio review: Throw your Google Home in the trash

Don't really, but definitely consider upgrading

Google's first Assistant speaker, Google Home, turns four this year. The company says that device was designed primarily as a means to access the Google Assistant, and music playback was secondary. But the de facto second generation, the new Nest Audio, was purpose-built as a media device — and boy, does it ever show.

Controls	Capacitive touch, voice control, mute switch
Power	30W DC barrel adapter, 1.5m cable
Connectivity	802.11b/g/n/ac (2.4 GHz/5 GHz) Wi-Fi, Bluetooth 5.0
Colors	Chalk, Charcoal, Sage, Sand, Sky
Price	$99
Dimensions	6.89" x 4.89" x 3.07", 2.65 lbs
