If you're a Google dependent user then the integration of Calendar, Alarms, Nest Cam, Routines and more will make the Smart Clock a great integration and control hub for your smart home.

Great way to easily integrate into your Google life (including Calendar / Alarms / Weather / Nest camera / Spotify and more); No built-in camera alleviates security concerns; Gradual wake-up and customisable alarms; Physical volume controls; Auto-brightness and mono screen for good bedside manner -...

"Hey" and "OK" Google summons still irksome and can't be changed; Auto-brightness isn't on by default; Can't mute mic on/off switch; Google Home app could be simpler overall; An OLED panel would be an even savvier choice

Other devices do more, but this is the slickest alarm clock you can buy (for now)

Charming design; Auto-brightness works well; Surprisingly loud; Morning Routines well implemented

Screen doesn’t do much beyond core features; No video; Could do with more cards

The Lenovo Smart Clock is a fairly simple concept - a Home Mini with a screen - but slick design, a simple interface, and smart features around screen brightness make it a surprisingly compelling offering.

The Lenovo Smart Clock is undoubtedly the cutest smart display out there, but it takes more than soft-touch charm to earn a spot on the nightstand. The $79 addition to the company’s smart display range is now the cheapest way to get the Google Assistant with a touchscreen, but it’s actually an...

Cheapest Assistant-powered smart display so far; Small; cute design is perfectly nightstand-sized; Display won't disturb your sleep; USB charging port on back is useful

Nest Hub isn't much more expensive after promotions; Not every Assistant reply uses the display; No Google Photos screensaver

With a smart design and smarter features, the Lenovo Smart Clock is a simple and practical realization of what a smart clock should be.

Compact design; Fun clock-face options; Good audio (for a clock); Smart alarm features

Limited visual skills; No color options

You'll have to go elsewhere if you want all the features of a Google Nest Hub or Echo Show, but for smartspeaker buyers who just want a cheap wake-up and bedtime option, the Lenovo Smart Clock doesn't disappoint.

For someone looking to get a basic alarm clock that happens to work with Google Assistant, it's hard to go wrong with the Smart Clock Essential.

LED display is informative; Nightlight is a helpful addition; Excellent alarm clock

Speaker is subpar; LED can be too bright a night; Some issues in a wider smart home setup

At its core, the Lenovo Smart Clock Essential is simply a Google-powered smart speaker with a built-in alarm clock. It’s easy enough to operate and there’s even a nightlight on the back. You can adjust its various settings using your voice.

Simple clean design; Decent smart home control; Built-in nightlight; Can tap to snooze; Affordable

No ambient light sensor; Have to adjust brightness with voice; Not much cheaper than the more feature-rich Smart Clock

The Lenovo Smart Clock is not a full-blown smart hub or display but it’s also not being marketed as such. If you’re looking for Google Assistant functionality in the bedroom, the Lenovo Smart Clock is definitely a fantastic choice given its size and functionality.

Small; slick design; Soft touch fabric finish; Crisp; clear screen; Microphone mute toggle; Works with Nest video; Supports Google routines; Easy set up; Tap to snooze; Sunrise Alarm feature is great; Various preset clock faces and alarm tones

No FM Radio; Might be a bit pricey for some; Limited video options; No camera; No backup battery
