I was tempted to give it a thumbs down, but that would’ve reflected unfairly on your report, so 👍
Haha haha hahahahahah last comment XD
I don’t really like the strange stand
Not even a brief comparison to the other device in this category? There’s barely any actual content in the video.
Good informative, objective review. Thank you.
very useless device
Soooooo basically you can wait till this Android things roms to come out and flash a tablet to to this and pluc it into a speaker dock?????
So it’s just a tablet.
I was looking for Mjölnir! Why are you imprisoning my hammer! Must be Loki in disguise.

I will do the same
This is a dumb product.
I love how they added the mic and camera shutter. I bought this, and probably one of the best gadget I’ve bought aside from my phone. I used to cover all my cameras with post-its but I guess there’s no need to do that for this.
Love this. Bought the 8″ and the 10″. Super simple to setup and the daily routines are awesome. Video calls work great and change the dynamic when calling love ones. Connects to Spotify and Youtube. Great home assistant!
Another device to spy on your private life and you have to pay for it. This is Great!!!
Awesome Review, got mine, and I love it. Love the camera shutter feature the most, this way I don’t have to cover my cameras using post-its lol!
just buy a used iPad smfh
pass
what I did not like is how it does youtube! echo show 2 with browser is better!
Does the display run on battery or does it need to be plugged in all the time?
Not into this…
Can it display pictures and play some music in the background?
thanks for sharing
Lol bass ..: Bro just go get a subwoofer if you want the Punch , and if you don’t like bamboo look in the back paint it or put some lights to match your room ambiance 😉😂🤣🤣
Adding the mini speakers and lightbulbs is complicated. They didn’t pair. I’ll probably take the speakers and bulbs back and get my money back. Very disappointed in the accessories for the Lenovo Smart Display. I bought 2 for Christmas. I can only imagine the problems with trying to setup a thermostat or doorbell camera accessories. It’s nothing more than an expensive unit to check recipes, watch YouTube videos, set timers and alarm clock.
Didn’t take long for retailers to start marking these to clearance. I got my 10″ at my local Walmart for $90. Worth it at that price IMO.
Thanks for the video. By the way, most will not care about it matching the room decor. Like who cares about that! It’s function over form. Also, dump the super hero stuff. You are an adult now.
These things are a waste of money. I mean how many people are really going to watch Youtube TV on this for any length of time let alone any videos or music when you have so many other options to play back content on better outputs with video and sound? You can Chromecast practically anything from a basic GA to a TV. All I see here is a glorified face chat device and something a person MIGHT find useful for culling recipes in a kitchen but neither is a necessity for the cost.
Who collects bamboo?!?! 🧐🧐🧐😂😂😂😂
Worked fine for a few months and then an update rendered this smart display into useless pile of garbage. Sometimes it won’t detect the hot word, at other times it will be listening for no apparent reason. The overall sucess rate is at about 30–50% now — waaaaay below industry averages and totally unaceptable. Unless you’re right next to the device, yelling at the top of your lungs — forget it.
To add to the frustration, both Lenovo and Google support have been extremely unhelpful. I have been sending feedback through the device itself for months now — not a peep back. Numerous reports via the google home app — silence. Posts here in the Lenovo forum — just as useful.
Bottom line — I cannot recommend this device unless you love the sweet pain and frustration it has to offer. Avoid like the plague!
