Review on Smart Column Yandex New Station Mini - smart column with Alice (with watch), black onyx by Mateusz Kazana ᠌

Revainrating 1 out of 5

Disgusting, would not recommend to anyone!

I succumbed to the ads that poured from the entire advertising network, about what a cool assistant this column is, a super convenient gadget for the home In fact, the cons cross out a few pluses in the bud: - no battery, works only from the mains - does not work without wifi - de facto does not work without a subscription - when connecting a laptop or phone via bluetooth, there is a sound delay, it is impossible to watch I bought this speaker at full price on i. Market as a replacement for my old jbl go. I use a small laptop and wanted a more powerful speaker, so that I could also listen to my favorite music, watch a movie, and use a voice assistant. In fact 1, the only negative due to the sound delay in the video makes the use of this device impossible, I will return it. There are no problems with my devices, as I wrote above, with another column everything works ok. As I understand it, this problem is observed by many users of stations of different models. People have been voicing a similar problem with sound delay since the age of 19, both on the market, and on Q, on w3bsit3-dns. Com. 08/25/2022 ATTENTION, YANDEX IS THROWING For the above problems, I issued a refund on 07/31/2022. 08/01/2022 I handed over the column to the 2022 post office, correctly packed and enclosed a sheet with a special number and sent it to YANDEX LLC 08/09/2022 THE COLUMN HAS COME TO THE POST BOX OF YANDEC TODAY 08/25/2022, YANDEX STILL HAVEN'T RECEIVED THE PACKAGE, 16 days have passed, more than 2 weeks! BEFORE YOU BUY A YANDEX PRODUCTION, THINK THAT THE BIG IT GIANT IS READY TO GIVE YOU 7 THOUSAND RUBLES.

Pros
  • 1. A stylish accessory, the digital panel conveniently shows the clock, weather (when requested), and also visually displays when Alice answers you. 2. A good power for its size is 10 W, enough volume for an apartment. 3. Convenient voice control of Y. Music through voice, you can like, dislike tracks, turn on playlists, soundtracks for certain films. 4. Mediocre functionality of Alice's assistant. Show traffic jams, weather, chat, listen to the morning / evening show with news mixed with music.
Cons
  • 1. No battery = connection only through a socket. It is not possible to move the column within the apartment. 2. Requires a permanent internet connection! That is, just turn on the music from the phone, if suddenly your router is broken - it will not work. 3. For normal operation, a Y. Plus subscription is required. 4. Alice, as a assistant program that has been around for several years, is often stupid. To the request "advise a movie for the evening" - answers "video playback is impossible on this device. " Kamon, I have a subscription, you can pick up something and send me a link to the movie from the movie search in the application. Voice games with Alice are generally darkness, the feeling that some student wrote their code, complex, incomprehensible, Alice does not recognize commands. She does not know the weather in some nearby villages, so she voices the weather in the city where you are. And in the Ya. Pogoda application, the same village is calmly displayed. 5. BIGGEST MINUS FOR ME When you connect the speaker to a laptop or phone via bluetooth (version 5.1 everywhere) and watch a video (Youtube, KinoPoisk, video from a device), there is a very strong sound delay, about 0.5 seconds! Watching movies becomes impossible! The old jbl go column, for example, has no such problems. Very dissatisfied with this fact in the column for 7 thousand. I want to return it, because because of this, it does not suit me.
