As well as being technically impressive with built-in Google Assistant, the Crescent smart speaker has the look and feel of a luxury product - adding a touch of elegance to your home, as opposed to imposing on the aesthetic of it with a cheap or ugly design. Instead, the Crescent oozes minimalist design with hihg-end craftsmanship and makes a welcome decorative centerpiece for any room in the house. Gone are the days of hiding your clunky smart speaker behind a large photo frame or vase. The Crescent was made to be shown off. For anyone wondering what exactly makes the Crescent a cut above the rest when it comes to performance and design - here’s a run down of why you need one in your life, and preferably your living room…
