Unboxing Brand New Google Home Mini Smart Speaker

Here, we show Unboxing Brand New Google Home Mini Smart Speaker. Just avoid opening the box bottom side up, so that the speaker inside does not fall out and become damaged as it hits the floor. We also suggest unpacking any sensitive electronic device close to or on the floor, preferably a carpeted floor. Therefore, this virtually eliminates the possibility of it falling from a higher-than-safe distance. Further, it softens any shocks in case it does fall. Thus, we unboxed our Mini on our kitchen floor.

The speaker then powers up. In addition, after roughly thirty seconds, it issues the “Welcome to Google Home” announcement in a female voice. After that, the four lights on the top of the Mini also light up as a slowly throbbing gray line, as shown next. Then, the mini speaker is ready for setup. Plus, the lights will continue in this pattern until you either set up the speaker, or disconnect it from AC power.
