What's different is this with Google home mini, rather than speaker size? I can't find any reason for buying it.

I think it is only higher quality audio.

And don't forget volume, a Google home mini is going be to quite underwhelming in anything but the smallest room.

Seems like they are suggesting the AI they use to dynamically configure your sound based on room placement is only available in this model.

So I was a Sonos owner and I loved them, when I sold them to buy Google Home's I was greatly saddened by decrease in audio quality. It looks like this is the Sonos replacement? Seems weird that they wouldn't just re-brand this as Google Home+ or something similar.

I am getting a very similar vibe similar to Apple iPad's where you can buy an iPad at pretty much every dimension you want. Same now with Google Home, you can get a small, medium and large Google Home... but with confusing branding.

Why is "Google Home Max" weird compared to "Google Home+"?

Especially given that the small one is "Google Home Mini".
