Hey Google what did I tell you about TicHome? I remember you told me: I have
to upload the TicHome video today
Hey there, people!

Hey Google, shuffle playlist 2017 and set volume to 60%
sure here's a shuffle of your Spotify playlist called 2017
This box just arrived today. It is the MobVoi TicHome Mini so let's unbox it and see
what's inside
and here it all comes when we open the box we have something up here.
We have some manuals, user guide, meet your Google assistant, and some more.
It's the legal stuff I guess. Then we have the TicHome mini with a plastic..
- a see-through plastic sheet that shows what the different functionalities - and
get it out of the box in the bottom of the box we have the USB
cable and that's about it.
This is the TicHome mini. As you can see it's a
small, quite portable bluetooth speaker it doesn't really weigh much and it has
a few buttons on board. It has a power button, volume up and down, and what I
guess is a speak action button, so let's put this over. The action button is to push
to talk or to pause and play. It has volume up volume down and then a mic
mute / power button. I'm pretty excited to get this turned on and
see what it can do so let me play around with it for a while and I'll get back
with demonstration of it
Hi I'm your Google assistant You can ask me
questions and tell me to do things. To get started download the Google home app
The TicHome mini is a smart speaker produced by the Chinese company MobVoi
MobVoi was actually backed by Google when they released the TicWatch to the
global market, and this collaboration means that they are actually able to be
one of the first companies to release a smart speaker with Google assistant
built-in. There's not much to set this apart from Google's own Google home or
Google home Mini. The system is the same which means it comes with the exact same
specifications and features and the exact same limitations. It does however
come with one little extra that sets it apart from its big brothers at Google.
It has a built in battery that will allow you to take with you in the kitchen in
the bedroom or even to the shower since it has an IPX6 splash proof
certification. And yes, I did take it to the shower with me but I will
spare you for the footage of that The sound quality from the speaker is actually okay
considering its size. It's nowhere near the sound quality of speaker like Google
home but it's tolerable in most situations. The charging port on this is
a standard microUSB and that kind of sucks
especially for a unit like this which is meant to be brought around and plugged back
in whenever you need some extra power Actually they should have considered
contactless charging base or even having standard wireless charging. While the
portability in your home is a major plus for the TicHome mini it also comes
with some limitations. For instance if you bring it outside of your home
network, this one is reduced to a dumb Bluetooth
speaker. It does come with NFC for easy pairing with a phone but still the
sound quality doesn't really justify that kind of use
Is the TicHome worth the money? Well, if you're considering buying Google home Mini
then this is a serious alternative It does give you a little more freedom
because of the battery meaning that you can take it around the
house with you very easily. However in my opinion the AI assistant technology is
still not mature. You often run into things that you wanted to do but you
can't do it, so you have to go and find your remote control or your phone in
order to complete the task, and then you just have two devices and you spent
three times the amount of time to do the same thing as you would have done
otherwise. If all your appliances and home automation systems are compatible
with Google assistant, yes, then this would be useful for you, but for me since
I'm limited to Philips hue lights and chromecast it doesn't really make much
sense to have this. But what do you think?
Do you own a Google home or an Amazon Echo? Do you use it, what do you use it for?
