When they say smart display, they mean just that. It's nothing more. You can't install apps, its YouTube has no controls just play n pause. It can see my Chromecast for casting but it can't see my jbl speaker with inbuilt Chromecast (my Android phone does connect to my speaker over WiFi).In this age, I would have expected a USB C charging port. For the size of the attached speaker, it's not a good quality speaker.It's probably just good enough to set alarms, as a google assistant anf controlling home devices.There's really nothing magical or impressive about it.
