Google Nest Hub Max review: Sometimes bigger is better

The Google Nest Hub Max is a bigger, better Nest Hub meant more shared and communal spaces. The larger screen makes viewing photos and videos a treat, and the sound quality is improved as well. The 6.5-megapixel camera is used not just for video calls,...

Great display. Face Match facial recognition feature is pretty accurate. Ability to play and pause media with gestures. Can double as a Nest Cam. Very good sound quality. Fairly priced

Video calling only works with Google Duo. Gestures can be a little finicky.

Google Nest Hub Max review: The bigger Nest Hub isn't the better one

If you polled the dozen or so of us that make up the CNET Smart Home team, I think a majority would pick the Google Nest Hub as our smart display of choice. The attractive, fabric-bodied design looks right at place in a variety of settings around the...

The Nest Hub Max offers better sound quality, a bigger screen and a new camera with plenty of tricks. It's the first smart display you can control with gestures.

You can't cover the camera with a shutter. Using YouTube is a breeze, but other supported services are a pain. Many connections with third-party smart home gadgets are in limbo.

If you wish the Nest Hub was bigger, louder and had a camera, this is the Google Assistant for you. Otherwise, the regular-sized version and other, smaller smart displays are closer to the sweet spot.

Google Nest Hub Max Review: The Assistant will see you now

The Nest Hub Max isn't just a larger smart display, it's Google's first where the Assistant can see you, too. If the original Nest Hub was a connected digital photo frame that just so happened to have Assistant smarts baked in, the Nest Hub Max builds...

Bigger screen looks fantastic ; Audio much louder and clearer than Nest Hub ; Face Match works quickly and accurately ; Assistant keeps getting new features

No physical camera cover ; Limited to Duo for video calls ; Assistant UI doesn't make the most of the display
