From the smart display, you can cast content to your big smart TV. With the in-built Google Assistant, you can get everything done just with your voice.

Ask it for the traffic report and you’ll be amazed at what you’ll see.

The main menu has a card-based interface that shows the weather and your calendar events. When you swipe, it brings up a number of recommendations from Spotify, YouTube and Google News. It shows “top stories for you” links that Google Assistant can read out like news bulletins or as YouTube videos. Sounds cool. Right?
