When I tried playing music directly from its touch screen, I could only select one of three seemingly random songs from my smart playlist on YouTube Music. The Smart Clock 2 also doesn’t have a web browser. However, the Smart Clock 2 can’t show video, even if you stream it directly from a mobile device it shows up as a Google Cast audio option, but not a video device like the Nest Hub. It can show the time, act as a digital photo frame for your Google Photos, and show weather reports and upcoming appointments on your calendar (G Suite support is still frustratingly, and confusingly, unavailable on Google-powered smart displays). ![]() While it’s technically a smart display, the Smart Clock 2 acts more like a smart speaker because of the limitations of its screen. It's a bit less triangular than the previous model its back surface curves slightly from the top and an 0.8-inch fabric-covered chin lifts the screen. Both feature fabric-covered bodies (blue or gray this time around) with triangular profiles that tilt the touch screen up slightly and form top edges rather than flat panels. The Smart Clock 2 closely resembles the original. Depending on your voice assistant of choice, you'll be better served by the $99.99 Google Nest Hub or the $84.99 Amazon Echo Show 5.

We like the addition of an optional wireless charging base with a built-in night-light, but are disappointed that Lenovo moved the USB-A port (for charging other devices) from the body of the clock to the dock, making it feel more necessary than optional and bringing the total price to $89.99. ![]() Lenovo's $69.99 Smart Clock 2 is more of a slight reimagining of the original Smart Clock than a proper sequel.
