Review on Smart Column Yandex New Station Mini - smart column with Alice (no watch), black onyx by Wiktor Wiktor ᠌

In general, out of 4 killer features of the new Mini Station - one did not materialize (sound), - one works nominally (in tandem with the Module, which has neither Airplay, nor Chromecast, nor Bluetooth) - one did not work at all (Bluetooth is now a rarity in products, they were not brought in by anrust laws) - I didn’t have time to test one (output to external speakers via 3.5 mm jack) The conclusions are simple. A raw product costs more than more functional ogues, more money is invested in marketing than in a real product in the technical part. Alice is no longer a killer feature, it can even be built into an iron at this stage (the cost of components for the board and software support). Get better JBL Link Music. They are equal in price, the sound is more than 2 times better :) (the psychological limit of sufficiency for the majority has been ped), Bluetooth works. They are also a little buggy, you need to wait for the September ates, which seem to arrive via Wi-Fi Mini station if only in the kitchen (if Bluetooth worked) to watch YouTube. And Bluetooth adapters that turn wired speakers into a demon are enough at a much more affordable price. If all products lack the Airplay ecosystem, Chromecast and dances with Bluetooth turn their gadgets into things in themselves, which, in terms of multimedia capabilities, are far behind Google Home and Apple Home. A smart home can also be built there. So far, only the voice istant wins. But that's a completely different story. I will wait for the second generation station with Matter and Zegbee. It makes no sense to take any other products under their brand yet.
