Hopefully, Lenovo can address this in a future update as well.

The Smart Alarm Clock 2 doesn’t seem to support streaming video as it does not even show as an option to Chromecast video content from my phone. The Smart Alarm Clock 2 also seems to do a good job of picking up my voice from across the room and it responds to queries very quickly, similar to a regular Google Nest Hub. Hopefully, this is corrected in the future. Oddly, the display settings cannot be accessed in the Google Home app and must be done through the small touch screen interface. I also like the option to use a Google Photos album that cycles throughout the day. I like the weather clock face as it shows a subtle image in the background of the current conditions along with the temperature. There are different clock faces available that you can swipe through on the device. While the screen is small, I’m able to clearly see the time from across the room.
