Seach giant has mentioned its first Google Assistant-powered smart display at the I/O 2018. The company has mentioned that he displays will be available from July with a coalition of companies like LG, Lenovo and JBL. According to B&G Photo pre-order listings, the Lenovo smart display might be up for pre-order.

The listing shows a caption saying "coming soon" with an expected availability date of September 3. But, the price tag of the display might be a good news of many, because at CES 2018 Lenovo announced that the 8-inch model will be priced around $200 and the bigger 10-inch model will be at $249.99.
