Starting today, March 7, smart speaker manufacturer Sonos has released a review of its popular Sonos speaker, a speaker that receives various internal enhancements. This second generation includes Bluetooth Low Enery (BLE), a faster processor and more memory than the model it sold until yesterday.
Regarding the design, the manufacturer claims that it is exactly the same as the first generation. In terms of functionality, the new generation also does not offer any new or exclusive featuresIt's just more powerful and more ready for the near future, so the most important aspect, the sound, will remain the same.
At the moment, the manufacturer has not informed about the future plans it has to be able to get more out of the new processor and the increased memory, so we will have to wait for future movements to check it. Of course, the new features that may be introduced through updates, They will only be available on the second generation Sonos One, not the first.
Sonos claims that due to the lack of power of their older modelsMany of them could not be updated to be compatible with AirPlay 2, although we can take advantage of this functionality if we connect them to one that is compatible.
The integration of Bluetooth Low Energy is striking, since only used the first time to set up speaker operation. This version of Bluetooth allows faster communication and with less power consumption (although the latter does not affect the performance of the device since it does not work with batteries).
For now, Google Assistant is still not available on the Sonos smart speaker family, despite the fact that at the end of the year, it announced that the Google assistant would arrive at the beginning of 2019. If you intend to buy a Sonos One, keep in mind that its price is 229 euros. If you find it at a discount, it is most likely the previous generation.
