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

=== First of all, this is a station for managing a smart home. It is foolish to compare it with Chinese columns for 1.5 which "sound better", but do not know how to do anything else. The fact that the sound has also become suitable for listening to music is a fact, but the sound is worse than any ordinary speakers for 5K. For those who think that Station Mini 2 costs like Home Pod Mini. In the US, prices are without taxes. Ya. Station Mini 2 (regular) without VAT: ~5K rub or $70 Home Pod Mini without VAT: $100 === On the first day I was going to write an angry comment, because. I was angry that only a month ago I bought 4 columns of the first version . And here you are, the second version came out with all the Wishlist . And now there are 8 mini stations in the apartment . But again, not without jambs . The notorious tongue on a speaker with a screen is square, on versions without a screen it is already redesigned (round) + the equipment for a speaker without a screen is better (there are additional cable clamps). It seems that you are buying a device and you want everything to be in the same style . But there will be slightly different design stations around the apartment. The problem is not critical, but it's a shame that it is. But on the other hand, I have a limited version)))) From the new year, everything will be rounded. At first I was disappointed by the increased size of the station (it seemed huge), but after a day I got used to it and fell in love with it. Annoyed by the adjustment in steps of 0.5 . At the same time, the screen displays 05, 10, 15, 20, etc. But it would be possible to add one LED? To make it 0.5, 1.0, 1.5, 2.0, etc. At the same time, you cannot say "Make the volume one and a half" or "Make the volume 05" with your voice (you can only do it manually). In general, the logic with this adjustment has become completely illogical. Happy with the purchase, despite the cons. I put 4 out of 5 in the hope that they will fix the shortcomings with AUX. If they don't fix it, I'll change my rating to 3. Key cons: - positioning problem (when a station from the next room answers) - you need to shout so that Alice hears during the music
