It’s that time of year again when Google goes HAM and, out does the current mobile tech industry leaders.
“ Today, we introduced our second generation family of consumer hardware products, all made by Google: new Pixel phones, Google Home Mini and Max, an all new Pixelbook, Google Clips hands-free camera, Google Pixel Buds, and an updated Daydream View headset. We see tremendous potential for devices to be helpful, make your life easier, and even get better over time when they’re created at the intersection of hardware, software and advanced artificial intelligence (AI). “ - Google

All in all, Google had a nice showing at its Pixel Event. The new pixel phones show many improvements over the previous models. While everything else google has shown off during the event are great additions to the Pixel Family of products (I guess dubbed “Made By Google”), The Google Home Mini will be the breakout product in my opinion. Its small compact size plus its overall usability will attract customers. Finally, its inexpensive price will compel consumers to purchase it. I can’t wait to get my hands on these products to test them out.
