Lenovo Smart Clock Essential Review: Tech meets nostalgia

 

Alarm clocks may have faded due to the smartphone, but the Lenovo Smart Clock Essential is bringing back the nostalgia with the help of Google Assistant.

Compact design ; Clearly displays the time ; Affordable price ; USB port for charging gadgets

No way to set alarm through Google Home app ; Requires a firm tap to snooze ; Not great for music playback

Lenovo Smart Clock Essential Review

 

Big, easy-to-read time display ; Works with Google Assistant voice commands ; Night-light functionality

Weak audio quality ; Display doesn't show timers

The Lenovo Smart Clock Essential is a bedside-friendly Google Assistant smart speaker that offers plenty of useful features, but quality audio isn't one of them.

Lenovo Smart Clock Essential Review: Mediocre smart speaker, superb alarm clock

 

Lenovo's Smart Clock Essential is a Google Assistant-powered alarm clock. It's not the best smart speaker around, but it makes a great alarm clock.

LED display is informative ; Nightlight is a helpful addition ; Excellent alarm clock

Speaker is subpar ; LED can be too bright a night ; Some issues in a wider smart home setup

For someone looking to get a basic alarm clock that happens to work with Google Assistant, it's hard to go wrong with the Smart Clock Essential.

Lenovo Smart Clock Essential Review: Wait for a Sale on the Original

Lenovo Smart Clock Essential review

 

The Lenovo Smart Clock Essential is an affordable Google Assistant speaker and useful bedside timepiece.
