Sound quality still isn't that great
No cable management to go with the new mounting hole

The Nest Mini is a nice-to-have device if you are hooked to the Google ecosystem. However, note that this needs to be plugged to a power source and the novelty of using Google Assistant might eventually wear off if you are not using it to power another sm...

Average audio quality, Sounds shrill at high volumes

Improved sound across all frequencies, Wall mount adds convenience

The Google Nest Mini is no doubt leagues ahead of its predecessor, the 2017-launched Google Home Mini, in terms of sound quality, wake word response, and overall usability. But the little wall-mountable Google device still falls short of features when com...
