That USB port is a smart addition to the clock. Around back, there’s a power adapter physical mute button if you don’t want Assistant listening to you at night, and USB port. Up top there are two physical volume buttons, as well as a touch-sensitive area that you can tap, or more realistically smash, to silence your alarm. Lenovo covered the Smart Clock with a cloth shell that’s thematically similar to the cloth base found on Google’s own Google Home smart speaker. Unlike Amazon’s Echo Spot, which has a circular design reminiscent of a classic alarm clock, the Smart Clock features a rectangular display up front, with a body that slowly tapers off toward its rear. So don't expect to watch movies from this little device. The Lenovo Smart Clock is meant to provide you with the right amount of information for your nightstand. And, of course, you can set multiple alarms each morning 1-minute apart like I do, so you can constantly snooze one after the other until you’re late for work. The idea is to make waking up a little less awful each morning. To help improve this experience, the companies have set the Smart Clock to slowly begin increasing its screen’s brightness 30 minutes before your alarm sounds.Īnd when that dreadful noise finally begins, it won’t hit at peak volume all at once, but instead will slowly increase in volume. When building out the Smart Clock, Lenovo and Google said they took into account the fact that people generally don’t like being woken up by the incredibly annoying and jarring sound of their alarm clocks. Chiefly, that you probably don’t want to watch video on a 4-inch display and, because chances are you don’t want a camera pointed at you while you’re sleeping every night. Lenovo and Google, however, say there are reasons for that. You won’t be able to stream video to it, and you won’t be able to video chat with it since there’s no camera. It will still turn everything on and off… the non-voice controls are just a little bit naff.The Smart Clock isn’t supposed to be as complex as Lenovo’s Smart Display with Google Assistant.

The only thing it’s not good for is your main control panel as it runs Google Things… and not the full version of Google Home. The Lenovo smart clock will turn completely off if you want it to until you say the wake word again.

It also has a camera on it, which is the last thing you want in a bedroom. The Echo Show 5 is not good for the bedroom as it uses some kind of cheap TN panel, with a backlight that will light up your entire room at night, that you can’t turn off. The first time it will dim the screen to night mode… the second time, it will turn the screen completely off. That’s pretty much all it does… but it does it well.
