Easy setup
Much quicker than typing questions into my phone!
I just got my Mini and I love it. Not sure the cat trusts it yet though - she goes on alert every time I ask it to do anything!
I can ask the Mini for radio stations I can only listen to online and it's playing within seconds, which I love. I listen to a lot of music and my app of choice is Deezer. It took a while to get that connected, but it was down to my phone rather than the Mini (resolved as soon as I set the default browser to Samsung Internet).
And, a little thing, but I love it - my clock battery has run down so just saying 'Hey Google, what time is it?' has been very useful. I also found it really useful when cooking to say 'alert me in 25 minutes'.
So far, it seems I can ask pretty much anything and it'll have an answer of some sort, but I'm still learning what it can do. I'm sure it'll be a lot of fun.
