Lenovo Is Right: Sometimes Seeing Is Better

For the launch of its Google powered Smart Display in the US, Lenovo partnered with New York based agency SuperHeroes to show us how “seeing is better.”

When it comes to emerging hot new tech, voice assistant technology is on top of any list. Voice search, after all, seems to be the future of the Internet. According to comScore, 50% of all searches will be voice searches by 2020.

It’s a big market. One-in-six Americans (16%) already own a voice activated smart-speaker. But a new trends is starting to surface. After voice activated smart-speakers, here come the voice activated smart… screens. Think about it. Sometimes hearing an explanation just adds to the confusion. Directions, recipes, instructions… all of these are so much easier when you can just see it, right? Lenovo is already there with the launch of its Smart Display range of devices.

In a nationwide US launch campaign, SuperHeroes NYC shows how the Lenovo Smart Display cuts through the chaos and confusion of daily family life, demonstrating exactly why #SeeingIsBetter.

After voice activated smart-speakers, here come the voice activated smart… screens, because #Seeingisbetter.
