More third-party smart speakers can make phone calls now
One of the most intuitive reasons one would want to own smart speakers is to be able to place hands-free phone calls. With Google’s line of Google Home hardware, it’s easy enough to say “OK, Google, call dad,” and the smart speaker takes care of everything (assuming you live in the U.S., Canada, or the U.K.).
However, there are a lot of third-party smart speakers out there with Google Assistant integration, and some of them can’t make phone calls. Luckily, that’s (slowly) changing, with Google introducing a new support page that gives better clarity on which smart speakers can perform this basic function.

According to Google, smart speakers from Insignia (like the Insignia Voice, shown in the image above) work with phone calls, as well as smart speakers from Harman, like the Harman Kardon Citation One. Harman also owns JBL, which has its own line of smart speakers, such as the series of JBL Link speakers.
