While we have seen plenty of speakers announced at CES, the Model Zero does stand out from some of them as it is a smart speaker that comes with Google Assistant baked into it. What this means is that users will be able to treat the Model Zero more or less like the Google Home and use it to control various smart home appliances as well as other things that the Google Assistant is capable of.
In terms of specs, Anker is boasting that the radial design of the Model Zero helps to create the “optimal angle” for high-end drivers to deliver “superior sound performance”. It also features a brushed aluminum exterior and handle, along with woven fabric as its cover of choice. There will be three models to choose from, such as silver, bronze, and gold.
In terms of pricing and availability, Anker did not share those details save for that it is expected to be available in the fall of 2018.
