Google seems to be focusing on AI now
Display-centric speakers let you watch videos and get other information through Assistant.
Google has stopped software updates for many third party smart displays, indicating a move away from Assistant products.
According to Google’s support page, the affected devices include Lenovo Smart Display, JBL Link View, and LG Xboom AI ThinQ WK9 Smart Display, reports The Verge.
“Google no longer provides software updates for these third-party smart displays: Lenovo Smart Display (7a, 8a and 10a), JBL Link View and LG Xboom AI ThinQ WK9 Smart Display. This may affect the quality of video calls and meetings.
All three displays were introduced in 2018, shortly after the initial announcement of the smart display platform by Google and its Home Hub, now known as the Nest Hub, as it reportedly aimed to compete with Amazon’s Alexa .
Although Google’s announcement of ending support for third-party devices does not mean that they will cease to function entirely, it does suggest that these devices will not receive any further updates or new features, which It is in trend since last few years.
Meanwhile, Google has said that it will end support for Nest Secure and Dropcam home security systems from April 8, 2024.
Until that date, all existing features will remain available and users can continue to use their Nest Secure and Dropcam as they do now.
