Putting Google Assistant into things is a pretty common move these days, especially in devices that can be considered smart in one way or another. That definitely includes speakers.
And LG is getting ready to release three new smart speakers into the world after their big debut at CES 2019 next month. We’ve got the SL10YG, SL9YG, and the SL8YG, each of which was made in partnership with Meridian Audio. The new smart speakers should boast impressive sound as they are equipped with Dolby Atmos and DTS:X.
LG’s new speakers are also all equipped with Google Assistant, which makes it possible to control each with voice commands. If you’re playing a song you can ask the Assistant to tell you which song it is or control the volume with your voice. And the new speakers can be used as a smart home hub, too, so you can control other smart devices in your home that are connected to the same Wi-Fi network.
One other interesting detail: The SL9YG model has a gyroscope inside which LG says “gauges the position of the product (fixed to a wall or on a flat surface), adjusting sound directionality to guarantee the optimal listening experience”.
No word on pricing or a release date yet, but LG will have more information for those interested when CES rolls around. What do you think of the minimalist design?
