Smart Speaker with Google Assistant and Android Things costs 219 euros

LG brings with the WK7 a new smart speaker in the trade. Not only does he have the Google Assistant, but he is also ready for Android Things, Google's Internet of Things platform. Google has promised the first Android Things devices this summer, so that's what you think. Apart from Google's options, the speaker also supports LG's ThinQ platform, so even these compatible devices can be controlled by voice over the speaker

Up to 6 users can distinguish the speaker by voice and thus provide the appropriate responses, for example, the traffic situation for how to work or just continue playing the music of yesterday, even if meanwhile another user was active .

The reproduction of music is also one of the basic skills of the smart speaker. Supported are the usual suspects like Spotify, Google Music or YouTube Music. For this, LG used the Meridian audio experts. These have undoubtedly strongly advised on the choice of materials and the arrangement of the components.

This is how stories like "Enhanced Bbad" and "Clear Vocal" are created. The LG WK7 also supports high-resolution 24-bit / 96 kHz audio. Also in audio formats in this area, the speaker is flexible, FLAC WAV and ALAC are supported as well as the streaming formats of Tidal and Qobuz.

The speaker is also multiroom, this is achieved via the Cast interface. Other loudspeakers with a cast function can be addressed via the multi-boot configuration via the WK 7.

The WK7 exists in Titan Black color version, its dimensions are 13.5 x 21.1 cm . The weight is 1.9 kg. Overall, quite compact.

That sounds pretty interesting, especially for those looking for better speakers with a smarter function. In addition, LG sends the WK7 for 219 euros in race. This is not necessarily cheaper than Echo and Co., but again with more emphasis on sound. Have you heard, if it makes a bigger difference.
