I could sometimes get the light to turn on and off with Google Assistant. Pressing the nightlight button again only took me back to the home screen with the light still on. But when I manually turned the light on using the display, I could only get it to turn off about a quarter of the time. Placing my phone onto the charger, the nightlight turns on for a few seconds, then off - every time. Maybe the most frustrating issue for me was that sometimes the nightlight wouldn't shut off.

Using Google Assistant to control the nightlight worked only about every other time. However, there are a few small faults that keep the setup from being perfect. The utility of the device goes up even further when it is paired up with the dock. On the flip side, it will dim down to a level that won't be distracting in a dark bedroom.įor a small smart display with Google Assistant built into it, the Lenovo Smart Clock 2 does an excellent job for the tasks it's designed to do. It gets plenty bright for indoor use but not enough to handle direct sunlight. Thanks to the built-in ambient light sensor, the screen will automatically adjust brightness depending on the light in the room. I find this to be a great size for sitting on the corner of your office desk or nightstand. Then there's the display, which is still 4-inches. Though it is small, the screen still does a fine job of acting as a photo frame when connected to Google Photos. But it is more than capable of providing some good-sounding tunes while getting ready for the day, sitting in your office, or waking you up in the morning. Am I saying that this will be your next party speaker or that it's going to rattle the table with deep bass? Definitely not. While the new Lenovo Smart Clock 2 still uses a 1.5-inch 3W speaker, the redesigned shape of the enclosure and new front-facing placement helps it sound far better than it should.
