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.

Plex Review

Capable free version ; Intuitive apps on many platforms ; Easy setup ; Growing library of on-demand and preprogrammed video streaming content

No HTPC support ; Lacks official interface themes

Plex's intuitive interfaces and comprehensive platform support make it an excellent option for setting up and maintaining a personal media server. An expanding library of free streaming content increases its appeal.

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

With onboard Google Assistant, easy-on-the-eyes Ambient EQ display technology, a built-in Nest camera, and impressive sound, the $230 Google Nest Hub Max makes for one of the most compelling smart displays we’ve tested. If you’re looking for a helpful,...

The Google Nest Hub Max blends a smart display with a smart cam to great results. Learn more in our full Google Nest hub Max review.

Nest Cam features help set it apart

At $229, the Google Nest Hub Max isn’t the cheapest smart display. Still, you get great sound, a large display, and many features you won’t find with the competition. If you don’t care about the Nest Cam features or video calls, save some money and go...
