Google Home Vs. Amazon Echo: Google's New Device Costs 129 And Goes On Sale Today

Google Home, Amazon Echo's rival, will be available on Nov. 4 for 129, which is less than the Echo, which sells for 179. CEO Sundar Pichai said during its hardware event that "the goal is to build a personal Google for each and every user." Google Home works just like the Echo. It has built-in microphones that can listen to voice commands, can control smart home devices, play your favorite music and answer any questions you have using the "OK, Google" voice command. Compared to Amazon's Echo, Google Home is touch-sensitive and can be used to change the volume or play music that is playing.
