Google Nest Hub review: A refreshing take on the smart display

 

Google's Nest Hub has other ideas, and though it's tiny, it has some powerful features that make it mighty under the hood. In a way, its simple approach is a refreshing take on the smart display — but it also feels watered down. Worth pointing out,...

Easy smart home control No camera on device Small size means it can be placed anywhere Doubles as a digital photo frame Affordable

No camera means no video chatting Poor sound quality Screen is too small for media consumption

There’s a lot to like about the Google Nest Hub. We appreciate the focus on smart home control, the pull-down control panel, and the digital photo frame capabilities. We also appreciate the lack of a camera for those concerned about privacy. We came...

Google's smart display is dwarfed by the Amazon Echo Show in size, but not in features, thanks to Google Assistant and a steady beat of updates.

 

Google's smart display is dwarfed by the Amazon Echo Show in size, but not in features, thanks to Google Assistant and a steady beat of updates.

The Google Nest Hub's touchscreen is responsive and works well in combination with Google Assistant, whether you ask for help on a recipe or check what's on your calendar. Pictures and videos look particularly crisp thanks to an ambient light sensor...

The sound quality is fine for background music, but nowhere near the level of other smart displays like the Amazon Echo Show or the JBL Link View. It's more on par with the diminutive Google Home Mini.

The cameraless, petite Google Nest Hub will blend into any room in your home. It's affordable, and quite useful as a digital assistant (especially in the kitchen), a photo frame and a smart-home control panel.

The Google Home Hub hits $58.99

 

Another week brings another price drop -- but will it go even lower?

Google Nest Hub

 

The small, affordable Google Assistant-powered Nest Hub smart display is functional and convenient, but won't impress anyone with its sound quality.

Relatively inexpensive. Small footprint. Useful touch screen.

Weak audio. No camera for video calls.

Bottom Line: The small, affordable Google Assistant-powered Nest Hub smart display is functional and convenient, but won't impress anyone with its sound quality.

Unbelievable Google Nest Hub, Home Mini and GE Smart Bulb bundle: $99

 

Woot! That's less than the price of the Hub all by itself! Plus: Deals on the Apple Watch Series 4 and WD's 3TB portable hard drive.
