As its name suggests, the Lenovo Smart Clock Essential is not a very flashy or attention-grabbing product. In fact, today’s the first time the Google Assistant-enabled smart speaker manages to actually grab our attention since its official announcement around four and a half months ago.
In addition to a built-in 3W speaker that can do a satisfactory job of putting you to sleep to your favorite relaxing songs, the Smart Clock Essential also has a “big and bold” 4-inch display going for it. That’s not responsive to touch, mind you, and it doesn’t show a lot of stuff, but it will tell you the time, date, and temperature in an unobtrusive yet crystal clear way that undoubtedly enhances the functionality of this versatile little device.
Obviously, the four C by GE smart bulbs bundled in for free for a presumably limited time only are part of this extended club of compatible accessories, not to mention they’re long-lasting, frugal in terms of energy consumption, and incredibly easy to use with both Google Assistant and Alexa.
