Meet Google's Answer to the Amazon Echo

Google just made it that much easier to access its massive search engine when your phone isn't nearby. The device is similar to the Amazon Echo smart speaker. Google Home functions as a speaker that also houses Google's powerful new voice-activated assistant. It's launching later this year, but the company demonstrated a preview of the gadget on stage. Google Home is customizable, so buyers can swap out the material based on their furniture and ambience.
