Google's introduction of a "little brother" for its Home smart speaker is a much-expected move, said Brad Russell, a research analyst at Parks Associates.
"They need a low-cost entry point for consumers that aren't already in the space," he told TechNewsWorld.
One of the goals of these product lines is ubiquity in the home, Russell pointed out.
"The reason Amazon's Dot has been so successful is not just because it's cheap -- it's because you can afford to put one in every room if you choose to," he said.
