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

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Not the best quality, but overall not bad.

Instead of the most convenient cozy USB type C, they made a proprietary barrel with a meter cable - you can’t plug it into the power bank, you can’t shorten the cable (just roll it up) and don’t lengthen it. Instead of a pleasant to the touch soft-touch - ordinary, albeit high-quality, plastic. In the same place where the first version stood and did not ask to eat Wi-Fi - now it breaks the connection and tries to constantly reconnect. It can hang tightly if you do not understand the command or the command was too long. And the jamb that applies to all devices is the lack of an application isolated from the hodgepodge. Do you want to manage devices? My dear, install this central that will load you with notifications, zen and other delights. So, if you just need a smart home hub and you don’t want to spend extra money for color or sound (which was great in the first version, they tweaked the bass and volume a bit in this one) - take the first version while you can. : I looked at the prices for the old version, which I bought for 3500 at the time of release. Shtosh, I take the words about "spend extra money" back.

Pros
  • It's the same Alice Voice control Ease of setup Removed unnecessary proximity sensor Improved sound 3.5 audio output interesting colors
Cons
  • Proprietary power cable Communication quality and stability Overall build quality Price No isolated application
