"The HANDMAX design goes full retro television, with a front grille, physical control buttons, and decorative legs completing the picture. Carefully modeled 3D-printed parts handle the practical side of things, accommodating the phone's sensors and camera while keeping the vintage illusion intact from every angle you look at it."
"Ask it a question, and Google Gemini handles the conversational side, pulling in responses without needing a dedicated microprocessor or a new development board. It's the same AI model powering higher-end commercial devices, running on hardware that would otherwise be sitting in a drawer."
"Through Google Home, the device can control smart home accessories directly, and custom routines let voice commands trigger specific actions around the house. Turning lights on, adjusting a thermostat, or running a sequence of automations becomes a spoken instruction."
HANDMAX Workshop transforms outdated smartphones into unique smart speakers by utilizing old Xiaomi Mi 8 devices.

The device operates using Google Gemini for conversational AI, eliminating the need for new hardware.
