Sony has released a wireless smart speaker that looks too much like the Apple HomePod, which Western journalists did not fail to complain about. The Sony LF-S50G also supports voice control and panoramic sound. True, unlike the "apple", the Japanese column connects to devices not via Wi-Fi, but via Bluetooth and NFC.

The speaker is built in Google Assistant. A significant difference can be called a kind of crane, which shines through the external grille of the speakers. It displays the time and lights for the Google Assistant activity. It can be asked to tell the weather forecast, information about traffic jams, put the timer on cooking.

Manage the column, scroll tracks, control the sound level can be done by gestures. Above the column there is a special area in which these gestures are registered.

Sony LF-S50G will start selling from October this year at a price of $ 200. At $ 150 cheaper than smart dynamics.
