Nearly the entire Google smart home lineup got a makeover and plenty of upgrades. Among the devices that’s been refreshed is the Google Nest Mini, formerly known as Google Home Mini. I received a Mini to test out and review in my home and here’s what I found. Google Nest Mini is a small, oval, puck shaped speaker that has a built in Google Assistant for getting hands-free voice controlled help for everything from recipe conversions, setting timers and alarms and listening to music and news. Nest Mini is a new version of the previous device, and it has some small upgrades. How is Nest Mini different from Google Home Mini? There are a few key differences in the Nest Mini. For starters, Google added a mounting hole on the back so you can now hang it on a wall instead of placing it on a surface. I actually really like this and mounted it to the wall in my bathroom immediately. There;’s New capacitive controls, and an ultrasonic sensor LED lights light up to show your volume controls whenever you approach the device. Called capacitive controls, you can turn volume up, volume down, and tap the center for play and pause. Small lights on the left and right mean you can see where to tap for volume. The new Nest Mini also added an ultrasonic sensor that can tell when you’re nearby, and it will automatically turn on the lights. OC Google says it’s also improved Mini’s ability to hear you in noisy rooms. And Nest Mini will automatically adjust the volume of the Assistant, or news and podcasts based on background noise. So when the dishwasher is running and you ask for the weather, you’ll hear the Assistant’s response at a louder volume. Nest Mini is smarter and faster than the original Mini. Google embedded a dedicated machine learning chip, which lets the company move some Google Assistant experiences from their data centres directly onto the device. In the U.S., Google says Nest Mini can now learn your most common commands and process them locally for a much faster response time. Not sure if it applies to Canada yet. I would say 99% of my requests to the Google Home device were answered and resolved. OC Let’s talk about Setting up Nest Mini Initially I had trouble getting the speaker set up, but that’s likely because I have a pre-release version of the Nest Mini. I couldn’t get the speaker to connect, which in my experience is very unusual for a Google Nest device. I waited a day, then tried again, and notice the app demanded a software update too. Google is ON that stuff, if you ask me. With that done, boom, everything was great in Google land. VO You’re unlikely to find any problems, but if you do, try a Google Home app update . To set up your Nest Mini, plug it in and get the Google Home app ready. Once you’re signed up or in, you’ll probably see that Google wants you to add a device right away on the main screen. Tap to do it and the app should handle the rest for you. You’ll choose the device to connect to, connect to Wi-Fi and in a minute you should be connected and able to use voice controls and services. VO I have several Google Home devices in my house, most notably the superb Google Home Max for great entertaining sound in the living room, and the Google Nest Hub in the kitchen so I opted to place the Nest Mini in the bathroom for news updates and note taking while I’m getting ready in the morning. VO photo As an aside, I stumbled on these very handy mounting brackets for the Mini (https://amzn.to/31usDZV ) that can keep the device plugged in and on the wall with the cord wound up tidily. I hit Buy Now as soon as I saw it. Since this is a speaker you want the sound to be good, right? While you might not have much hope for such a wee speaker, you’ll be pleasantly surprised at the quality.
