Rita El Khoury

Google's Assistant newest iteration, which launched with the Pixel 4, has a few tricks up its sleeve, but accessing it has been restricted by some draconian requirements. You need to have a Pixel 4 with gesture navigation, no G Suite account on the same user profile, and everything has to be set to US English. That last limitation will soon be lifted with five new English variants joining in.

David Oh

Amazon's tiny Echo Flex smart speakers are great because they can fit into areas where even the compact Echo Dot can't.
