Is the Google Home exactly the same as the Google Assistant?

Question

So I'm considering getting a Google Home. I have a Nexus 6p which has the google assistant. I'm just wondering, is the Google Home basically just a device with only the Google Assistant installed?

Does Google Home offer any features or benefit over just a phone with Google Assistant?

Answer 1
