Today at an event in London Google has announced its rival to the Amazon Echo and its Google Wifi router would make itself at home in Europe.
The smart assistant known as Google Home was shown off at an event in London, where it confirmed the release date as 6th April.
The hands-free smart speaker can respond to your commands by turning up the volume of your BBC radio show, conducting important google searches about letting you know whether you’ll need a brolly with you when you go out.
Amazon launched the Echo in UK and Europe in October 2016 and it’s currently priced at £150 in the UK — more expensive than Google Home, which is set to be priced at £129 from Argos, Dixons, John Lewis and Maplin and EE.
Various colour bases will be available that allow you to customise your home assistant and they will be priced at £18 for fabric options and £36 for metal.
Google Wifi will also finally be available in the UK on 6th April, after launching in tandem with the Pixel phone in the US last year.
This smart router is designed for modern tech fans with multiple devices and high-bandwidth habits. You can buy it for £129, or get it together with Google Home for £229.
