Google Assistant-powered smart displays are available for sale

The very first Google Assistant powered smart displays are now available for purchase. Back in CES 2018, Lenovo introduced the first generation smart displays with Google Assistant on board and we could try it for a few minutes. However, everyone in the industry was expecting a quick market availability. But, that didn’t happen for a long time. After many months, now the Lenovo Smart Display is available for purchase in the market.

The 10-inch model of the display costs $250 in the store and you can also get the 8-inch variant for just $200. However, this isn’t a permanent price, because the official sales start tomorrow only. This might be a temporary introductory price, it will change anytime. If you are planning to get one, place your order right now on Lenovo.com.
