GOOGLE Google Home speaker is now available in the UK

Google Home was officially launched late last year and this internet connected speaker is finally available to buy in the UK. Like its Amazon Echo rival, Google Home is powered by voice commands and can search the web, play music and organise daily routines via speech. Express.co.uk has been testing Google Home for the past few weeks and we have been left hugely impressed by many of its features. Voice searches work incredibly well and there's little the Google Home can't discover.

A huge range of music can also be discovered with instant access to services such as Google Play Music, Spotify and TuneIn Radio. So, there's no question that Google Home is a great little device and it lands in your living room at much cheaper price than Amazon's Echo - the Echo will set you back £149 whilst Google Home has a price of under £130. However, for all its greatness there is a problem and it could be enough to put you off buying one.
