Black Friday 2016 is fast approaching and homeowners are having a hard time deciding which to buy, Amazon Alexa vs Google Home. Several years ago, Amazon Echo was launched that was then followed by Echo, Echo Dot and Tap. The smart speaker line was such a success, and Google Home was born to get a slice of the pie.
So, which between the two, Amazon Alexa vs Google Home, should you invite into your household? In general, these smart speakers will do the same things like play music and answer relevant or sometimes silly questions. Greater than these mundane tasks, both Amazon Alexa and Google Home can control your smart home products. At voice command, it can turn off your garage light, find your phone and set the timer on among many other things.
Given a little more time which one, Amazon Alexa vs Google Home, can turn your home into a mini "Star Trek" ship minus the presence of R2-D2 and C-3PO? It is actually a bit creepy to think that these speakers are always listening to your conversation waiting for you to say the wake word. Amazon Alexa glows blue when it hears the command word, while Google Home's LED lights activate when it hears "Okay, Google."
