![]() While it comes with full-on Google Assistant, the Lenovo Smart Clock 2’s display experience is a pared-down version of what you’ll find on Google Nest smart displays. Still, the Smart Clock 2’s more typical ambient light sensor did a fine job of dimming the display when the lights went down, and when the room went completely dark, the screen switched to a night mode with a dim clock face. ![]() Unsurprisingly, the Smart Clock 2 lacks the Ambient IQ feature on Google’s pricier Nest displays, which does a superb job of adjusting the color of the display according to the ambient light in the room. ![]() If you want to charge a second device at the same time, you can do so using the rear USB-A charging port. I was also able to remove my iPhone from the MagSafe charger without lifting the dock itself. Testing it with my iPhone 12 Pro, the handset snapped right into place and the screen displayed the MagSafe charging symbol, just as expected. To the right of the clock cradle is the Qi-compatible charging surface, which supports Apple’s MagSafe charging standard. The combination of the Smart Clock 2 and its optional charging dock has roughly the same footprint as the Google Nest Hub. ![]() On its own, the Smart Clock 2 is a compact device, but sitting in its charging dock, it has roughly the same footprint as the Google Nest Hub. A pair of rubberized feet on the bottom help keep the dock from sliding, while a cradle on top connects to the clock’s base using a series of pogo pins. The optional charging dock, meanwhile, is nearly twice as wide as the clock itself, measuring 8.65 x 3.26 x 0.96 inches (WxDxH). Also in back is a switch that mutes the microphone. In the rear is a barrel-shaped power port for the roughly five-foot power cord, which terminates in a chunky wall wart. Tactile volume buttons sit on the top of the Lenovo Smart Clock 2’s fabric-covered shell. It will still turn everything on and off… the non-voice controls are just a little bit naff.Available in Abyss Blue, Shadow Black, and Heather Gray flavors, the Lenovo Smart Clock 2 arrives with a cozy fabric covering, with volume up/down buttons on top. 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.
