Lenovo Smart Clock Essential With Built-in Google Assistant Launched

Lenovo Smart Clock Essential has been launched as a smaller, more affordable version of the Lenovo Smart Clock. It offers full voice support with built-in Google Assistant, and “goes with every room and every mood,” as per the company. Besides setting alarms, the Smart Clock Essential lets you set reminders, create shopping lists, check the weather and temperature, and control other smart devices in the house. The smart clock will be available for purchase starting this month.

Lenovo said that with the Lenovo Smart Clock Essential, you will be able to check the LED display for real-time information from almost any angle or brightness through an ambient light sensor. Alternately, you can use Google Assistant and ask for the time, too.

The Lenovo Smart Clock Essential comes at a price of EUR 59.99 (roughly Rs. 5,200) and will be available for purchase starting this month.

Alarms can be set using either voice or buttons. The Smart Watch Essential comes with a built-in night light and an integrated USB port that makes it a helpful night-time companion.

“Lenovo Smart Clock Essential extends the same hands-free, time-saving convenience to the rest of the home, offering full voice support with Google Assistant,” Lenovo said in a statement.

The Lenovo Smart Clock Essential can also be used to control other smart home devices. Using the smart clock and Google Assistant, you can give demands to dim the lights, play music and podcasts, set reminders, and more.

This product is the upgraded version of the Lenovo Smart Clock that was launched last year.
