CES 2022: Lenovo's new Smart Clock ditches Google Assistant for Amazon Alexa

Lenovo Smart Clock Essential with Alexa Built-in has a bigger display than its Google Assistant counterpart and features a 3W speaker for music and Alexa's responses.

Lenovo had quite the show at the CES 2022. Not only did it unveil a range of new laptops, the company showed off its new smart clock. While the design and the display of the new Lenovo smart clock-cum-display-cum-speaker is the same as before, it ditches Google Assistant in favour of Amazon Alexa. That is why it is rightfully called the Lenovo Smart Clock Essential with Alexa Built-in.

Bedside gadgets have made our lives easier because they not only work as alarm clocks but also as our personal assistant that answers questions and plays music. That is because of the digital voice assistant that powers them. While there are a handful of voice assistants right now, the most popular are Google Assistant and Alexa. The latter is unequivocally regarded better when it comes to speakers, and maybe that is why Lenovo has embraced it.
