Google’s Home Mini and Nest Mini are wonderful speakers for the price you pay. These ‘mini’ smart speakers that come at around $49 provide just the smart speaker experience that you need.
While the first-gen Home Mini was outperformed by rival Amazon’s Echo Dot in terms of sound quality, the second-gen Nest Mini has more than made up to its competition.
The main reason you’d want to get either Google’s or any other third party smart speaker that works on the Google Assistant is because of the assistant itself. Google has been working on their assistant for quite some time now and it’s ahead of the competition by quite some margin.
However, just like everything tech, these speakers aren’t exactly bug proof either and you can run into issues here and there. When all troubleshooting fails, a hard reset can come in really handy if you’re not keen on factory resetting the device.
In this article, we’re going to talk about how you can hard reset your Google Home Mini or Nest Mini.
