Google Home Coming to The United Kingdom
With Google Assistant expanding to Android Marshmallow and Nougat devices, it only makes sense that Google Home start expanding too.

The news came from the BBC’s Rory Cellan-Jones who reported on a conversation he had with Google’s Rick Osterloh who indicated Home was on its way to the UK.
