© CNET Sonos' Google Assistant support may have taken some time to arrive, but the company is living up to its word as far as a timely international rollout goes.
This week the company has begun adding the option for compatible Sonos users in the UK, Germany, Canada, Australia, France and the Netherlands to switch their voice assistant from Amazon's Alexa to Google's Assistant. The feature works on the company's Beam TV smart soundbar and One smart speaker.
Already available in the US since May, support in the six countries had been promised to arrive in July. The prompt rollout is a far cry from the early declarations about integrating Google's digital assistant into Sonos products. The company announced in 2017 that it would add the Google Assistant the following year, but the support never materialized in 2018.
As with the US version, users will need to choose between Alexa and Google and cannot have both running on the speaker at the same time.
Users in Denmark, Sweden, Switzerland and Mexico are next on Sonos' list, though when exactly they'll receive the Google Assistant support is unknown beyond a vague "coming soon."
More details about the first Sonos Bluetooth speaker have leaked.
Hot off the heels of the tech specs communicated by the Federal Communications Commission (FCC), German site WinFuture has unveiled more information about Sonos' very first Bluetooth portable speaker. It will thus be the first time that the American manufacturer offers Bluetooth on a portable speaker. Users will be able to select the type of connection using two buttons located on the back of the device. Just as with the Sonos One, this new speaker is expected to be equipped with Alexa and Google Assistant, at least in Wi-Fi mode.
