Google Home was announced in 2016 whereas the Google Home Mini was announced in October 2017. There is no information whether Google will bring its Google Home Max speaker to India but rumours suggest that the company might soon introduce the devices in India.
It looks like Google is finally bringing its Google Home and Google Home Mini smart speakers to India. Information circulating the internet suggests that Google will launch the two speakers in April in India. The price of the two speakers is not yet known. In the US, the Google Home is priced at $129 which is about Rs 8,400 directly converted and the Google Home Mini is priced at $49 which is translates to Rs 3,200. Google may be a little late to the smart speaker party as Amazon is already selling the Amazon Echo in India.
The Amazon Echo Dot is priced at Rs 4,499, the Amazon Echo is priced at Rs 9,999 and the Amazon Echo Plus is priced at Rs 14,999. In our review of the Amazon Echo Plus we said, “As a techie, I am really impressed with the Echo since it’s a device I have been looking forward to for a while now. It lets me shop, listen to ‘desi’ and international and music, play games when I am bored, stay updated with the latest locally relevant news, control connected appliances and more. It even entertains my house help when I’m not at home. If all this is something you are looking for in a smart speaker, the Echo Plus can be yours at Rs 10,499. If you are someone only interested in Amazon Music and Alexa’s skills, without a smart home hub for connected appliances, you will be better off with the cheaper Echo or the Echo Dot. Meanwhile, we will spend some more time with the Echo Plus as it learns, grows and evolves in India”.
