After the first three exclusive Google Assistant Devices, the AI now comes to a lot of Android M and N smartphones.

With the Pixel Smartphones Google announced their own personal assistant and in the beginning it was exclusive to those phones. Later with Android wear 2.0 the Google Assistant came to multiple smartwatches from different developers, and following that it came to the LG G6. Well the exclusivitiy is over since Google has startetd rolling it out to any Android M or N device in the US so far, other countries will follow. This video was posted earlier:

With this said at MWc questions rose who will get it when, this was said in this specific statement, which was published by Google.

The Google Assistant will begin rolling out this week to English users in the U.S., followed by English in Australia, Canada and the United Kingdom, as well as German speakers in Germany. We’ll continue to add more languages over the coming year.

The Google Assistant will automatically come to eligible Android phones running Nougat and Marshmallow with Google Play Services.

So we just need to wait for our own personal Assistant. Since I’m based in germany it might take a while but you can be sure to check back here for a detailed look at the Google Assistant once it arrives on my V10.

In the US the new Lenovo Yoga A12 Tablet has just been announced and it looks a lot like a Yoga Book.

In the Picture above we can see the new Lenovo Yoga A12 that has just been announced in the US. If you think you’ve seen this before, than it might be true since it has a very strong resemblance to the Yoga Book that has been launched during IFA 2016 back in september.

The Yoga A12 uses the same Halo Keyboard but does not feature the option to remove the keyboard and use the surface fur a tylus or a notepad. This is not the only difference between the two. The other details are hidden in the specs and the fact that the Lenovo Yoga A12 is not available with another OS than Android, which in this cas is just Android 6.0 and no information on any Updates.

But let’s look at the specs first:

• 12,2 inch IPS-Display with a resolution of 1.280 x 800 Pixel
• Intel Atom x5-Z8550 Quad-Core-SoC with up to 2,4 GHz
• 2 GB RAM
• 32 GB internal Memory, SD-Card is an Option
• Android 6.0 Marshmallow
• HD-Webcam
• WLAN 802.11 b/g/n, Bluetooth 4.0, GPS/GLONASS
• microUSB- and USB Typ-C-connectors, 3,5 mm Headphonejack
• Stereo-Speaker with Dolby Atmos-support
• 10.500 mAh battery with up to 15 hours of usage time
• Dimensions: 228 x 208 x 10,9 mm
• 1060 grams heavy

Well those sound quite good but can’t compete with the Yoga Book though, this is why the A12 is not a follow-up to the Yoga Book but it’s his own productline. The Device will be available in 2 colors and will cost $299 , so we can expect a european price of around 300€ as well, might be a bit more though. Here are some more shots of both available color Options.
