I tested the Google Home Speaker against the HomePod Mini, and only one is truly smart

I use both the Google Home and Apple Home ecosystems, and that means I’ve used my fair share of smart speakers and displays. I’ve let the Nest Mini, Nest Hub Max, HomePod Mini, and HomePod 2 all power my home — and now it’s the Google Home Speaker’s turn. Google’s new smart speaker retails for $99 , matching the price of Apple’s HomePod Mini.
