Google will create new smart speaker similar to Echo Dot
Google may be preparing to launch a 'mini' version of its Google Home smart speaker , which would compete with Amazon's similar device.
Google will create new smart speaker
The company would be working on a new, smaller version of its Google Home speaker , which it will launch later this year, along with two new Pixel phones and a new Chromebook, also branded Pixel.
The device of the smallest size will be cheaper than the current Google Home , which has a cost of $ 129 .
The report , from the Android Police site , does not specify details about the new speaker, but it is believed to be comparable to Amazon's popular Echo Dot , which allows you to turn your current speakers into Alexa-enabled speakers.
New Chromebook with the name Pixel
Also in these reports it is stated that Google is preparing a new Chromebook , which will be named Pixel .
The details around the device, which will be a successor to the Chromebook Pixel 2015, are unclear .
The report notes that the new notebook will certainly work with Chrome OS , not the joint Android and Chrome OS, as had long been Qnnit .
Some reports claim that Google planned to unite Android and Chrome, but the company stated that it has no plans to withdraw Chrome OS .
Both products are expected to launch this year at the Google event in the fall.

New Pixel phones
The main attraction , of course, would be the next two Pixel phones. On these there have been a variety of leaks that allow us to know more about their characteristics.
For example, the Google Pixel 2 would be the successor to the first Pixel phones launched by Google , the Pixel and the Pixel XL. Both phones were widely accepted, despite some hardware issues and not enough being produced to meet demand.
The body of the phone would be made of aluminum , as well as the panel on the back, which covered the fingerprint sensor, will be smaller.
It is believed that the rear camera will be improved , with a viewfinder that protrudes instead of being integrated into the body of the phone.
A USB-C port will be used to charge the phone . It is also believed to have no headphone jack.
The future seems to be wireless audio . Both HTC and Motorola have already withdrawn the entry of headphones and apparently Google would do the same.
Competition with Amazon
Regarding the competition with the eCommerce giant, Google will have to generate an excellent speaker to be similar to Echo Dot, since this device, according to various independent reviews, is causing a furor where it is sold (EU and UK, mainly).
The speaker has enough sound quality to satisfy any music fan , it has skills like creating events in Google Calendar, adding tasks to sites like Todoist, presenting a news summary, estimating the time it will take to go to work from home …
Likewise, read books (Kindle eBooks in English), audiobooks (with an Audible account), answer basic questions, and connect to enabled devices such as plugs, smart bulbs, thermostats.
Of course, the great advantage of a 'mini' Google Home , in addition to the cost, will be the possibility of connecting to the services offered by Google , from the well-known search engine, to the search for routes (a function very well done in Google Maps) .
