We now know that three different brands will debut Google Assistant-equipped smart displays in stores this July. At one point, we expected that to see four of them. The Sony Smart Display is curiously absent from the Google I/O Developer Conference, though, and it hasn't been mentioned in any of Google's announcements regarding smart displays at the show.

At CES in January, Google previewed a new line of products called smart displays. Basically a smart speaker with a screen, the devices are slated for a summer release. Unlike the Google Home smart speaker, Google won't put its name on the products. Instead, it said in its initial announcements that it was partnering with four major manufacturers -- LG, Lenovo, JBL and Sony -- to give customers a variety of options.
