Amazon Echo vs Google Nest: Which Smart Speaker Should You Get?

Alexa is like that not-so-bright cousin that you feel sorry for after speaking with them at Thanksgiving. Bless her heart.

Thank you. This was the best and simplest explanation of the differences.

Gonna pick up an echo dot for my room

Impressed by Mediatek's commitment to privacy and innovation in voice tech. The era of Smart Speakers has never looked brighter!

I have the full Alexa household and have been collecting them for about 4 years - however - I think Googles ecosystem and products are more solid and future proof- and I'll be making the switch this year. Alexa is REALLY smart if you want to buy something from Amazon - beyond that, she's actually pretty dumb, bless her.

Google might be cool and sound good and all but the echoes go for 20€ when they're in sale.. that's just unbeatable price to performance ratio

Great video mate, it needs more views

My Google Audio just answered when you asked about the weather...Just bought the Google and it's really very good, have it connected to my Google nest battery doorbell camera which I bought at the same time and yes the battery version does let you know via Nest Audio that someone is at the door despite comments to the contrary. It also has a nice selection of chime sounds too. Going to buy a Amazon Echo Dot while black friday is still on. I also have a Google Nest Home Hub Max arriving tomorrow ( due to buying Nest Audio firs where one or two comments said that it does not connect to Google Nest Doorbell Camera battery powered...liars). Yay! Smart lightbulbs are my next purchase. Update: just bought the Amazon Echo 4th Gen instead of the Echo Dot {£49.99) which also came with a Philips Hue White Single Smart Bulb LED...nice.

Google nest rarely can answer what I ask it compared to Google assistant on my phone. I often get anterior saying it can't do that until I verify my voice, which I already have... many times.

6:20 I use Google assistant on my phone often and it suffers from the exact same thing. It doesn't matter how clearly I speak or how close to my phone I am, it just ignores me for a time or two before even registering

When you said ok Google play gen x radio my google mini picked up the you tube audio on my phone which wasn’t very loud and immediately responded and played gen x radio 😂

How do I set up 'hey google, play x radio station'?... We would like to add our radio station to this functionality.

Great video

9:36 has editing issue with the name not being changed to google's product. I'm paying attention haha! Great vid!

I wonder if they can play songs without relying on the mobile device and can they be active all the day to listen and play what user say.

Just bought the current Gen 4 Echo vs current Google Nest for comparison myself. Out of the box with default, the Echo’s treble was terrible and the bass on the Google was just average. But have to say, with the right EQ adjustments on both, the Echo has the more fuller sound. Even the highs are more perceptible. Was comparing both in a 20’x35’ living room and 25’x35’ garage. I have both Google and Alexa ecosystems, so no biased here. Just straight want best sounding smart speaker for my garage while I do work. Tested lows using Solar Sailor by Daft Punk and Talking Body by Tove Lo. And highs used Hotel California (Acoustic) by Eagles. On Talking Body, and SS, the low was nearly nonexistent on the Google, but present on the Echo. 😂 Lol. And on Hotel California, the Google mids seemed too pronounced, while the Echo seemed more balanced.

I prefer Google ecosystem 💯

I’m trying to find out which is smarter, amazon’s or google’s. I had google nest mini since almost 4 years, i’m using it everyday for many tasks and it’s still dumb tbh. I thought it will keeps learning by time but unfortunately it is not ! So my question here, is amazon’s smarter than google’s ?

I’m team Apple, but don’t want Apple home devices due to price. So I’m extremely torn between the two 😂

I love Google nest Hub Max
