At last last google home is in India. Ordered on The Launch Day. Came along with the Free JioFi. Proper Packing and Next Day Delivery. This is a pretty good Virtual Assistant with many useful functions. I'm still exploring them and will share the useful ones as I come along. For now I use it, - As an Alarm - To set timers - Adding things to the shopping List ( which in turn will come to the Phone ) - Setting Reminders - Creating Calendar Events ( Appointments ) - A Dictionary & Encyclopaedia In India we can't make calls using google home yet, probably it may come in a future update. Product Review : Undoubtedly it is very Good. I am an iPhone user and when the same things are asked to 'Siri'( Apple's Virtual Assistant ) it does not perform well like Google Assistant. Even in my iPhone I use Google Assistant rather than using Siri. Google is Extremely good in understanding no matter how slowly we speak or use simple sentences, It will answer our queries. Even if i am mumbling it still understands me and answers. Example: Set an Alarm for 4 AM Wake me at 4 AM Alarm for 4 AM Alarm 4 AM Set timer for 15 minutes Timer for 15 minutes Timer 15 Minutes We need not be so specific or say it as a complete sentence for it to understand. Also we need need not be 'Wren & Martin' correct with our grammar :p Just a few key words are enough. It understands Indian English (Accent) very well. We don't have to pretend ( Use American Accent) to be Americans to use it ;-) The distance coverage is pretty good. I tried at a maximum distance of 40 Feet (12.1 Meters - Even for this feet to meter conversion I used Google mini ) and it works perfectly. The sound quality is loud and very clear. There is no distortion in sound quality. I have kept it at a volume of 60% which itself is loud enough. It is not too "Bassy" at the same time it is also not Flat. It has the right amount of Highs, Mids and Lows. ( Clear and clean Treble, Voice and Bass ). Setting up is very easy and simple. 1. Download 'google home' in App Store/Play Store in your phone 2. Plug in the Google Device and wait until the voice prompts you ( it will tell you ) 3. Once it prompts you it will be detected in your phone automatically 4. Configure it in the same wifi network in which your phone is connected and continue the setup with it's positioning etc., ( all done in google home app itself ) 5. Once the configuration is done it will restart and again prompt you that it is ready. 6. Say 'ok google' or 'hey google' to start using it This is a product with a lot of potentials. With future updates this will be even more useful like asking it to make phone calls etc., If music listening is not your primary purpose for buying this product, then go ahead and buy it. If listening to music is your primary purpose or if you plan to listen to music a lot using google home then buy the bigger version (Rs.9,999), it has 3 speakers in it. Google Home Mini is a TOP QUALITY PRODUCT with SUPERIOR PERFORMANCE. I'll get back with my learnings and tips to use it at it's fullest. Till then, Happy Shopping Friends :-)

Hey everyone, try the app IFTTT. You will be able to do many things with your Google Home or Echo devices then. I have both Google Home Mini and Amazon Echo Dot. And as many others have explained, Home Mini beats Echo Dot by leaps and bounds. Echo Dot's colourful ring is more fun to look at than Home Mini's four white dots. Google should at least make them show colour. And Alexa has cuter voice than Google Assistant. Rest in everything, Home Mini wins. I love both of them like my two girlfriends.

Great device...awesome offers... Being Awesome: considering all the freebies & offers, u practically buy it for very less... setup is a charm it can hear trigger words very nicely even while playing music... can stream music to Bluetooth speaker, although my one is very old & it could not connect (since option is there, I am pretty sure it will connect seamlessly to any newer Bluetooth speaker that came out in the last two years) plays videos on my Android TV (Sony Bravia Android) without a fuss Points to Note: it is still at a very nascent stage and but keeps learning & gets better sound quality (although good for a small to medium size room, it is not enough for music buff, use the workaround by using Bluetooth speaker) for video content, u need Chromecast or Android TV since it is just launched, we do not have many apps natively available (expecting additions very soon) PS: just got yesterday, will keep you all posted on any update or info going forward
