Abstract: Shortly after announcing the Home Hub, a Google exec told me the timing was simply about “getting the product right.” Still, it's curious launching your own entry in the space more than half a year after a trio of hardware partners debuted their own.It's...
The Google Home Hub is a good combination of voice and touch control. It has already gone on sale, so you'll find it for more affordable prices. I think it's great for a kid's room or a family room. You can vary the use each time. If you're a person who v...
Pleasing aesthetic which blends hightech and home décor well, Ambient Display EQ is welltuned and effective, Speaker gets decently loud and is wellcomposed throughout higher volumes, Intuitive UI for smart device and Chromecast speaker control
No camera for video calling, UI needs expansion in smart device control and app integrations, Smaller size and lack of water resistance detract from the Hub's room versatility
The Google Home Hub makes some appreciable inroads towards being your total “Home Hub” but it's not quite there yet. The versatile, soft aesthetic helps but the smaller size and lack of water resistance may be somewhat prohibitive for placement in the hom...
ZigBee smart home hub onboard, Large, vibrant, higher-resolution display, Vastly improved user interface, Offers a visual interface to the Google Assistant, Works as a single control panel for all Google-compatible smart home devices, Step-by-step cooking
No Z-Wave support, Not the best smart speaker for music, It's another screen to distract you in your home, The small size means some compromise on fullness of audio, It can't be used as a base for video calls
The second-generation Amazon Echo Show might use the same processor as the first, but virtually everything else is new and improved.The Google Home Hub brings a visual face to Google Assistant and adds an extra dimension to the information it serves. This...
Abstract: The Smart Display product was originated earlier this year at CES. It runs a custom simplified version of Google's smartphone software dubbed Android Things. There are a handful of companies making one of their own as Lenovo & JBL take on it is out. Now i...

So, the Home Hub isn't perfect, but it does offer a slick and polished user experience. The great thing about the Home Hub is that it takes away some of the awkwardness and frustration of interacting with the Google Assistant in that you can navigate via...
Abstract: Smart displays started making their appearance not too long ago, and while Google is a bit late to the party, it's bringing a less expensive alternative to market in the Google Home Hub. The Home Hub is a simple product, powered by the new Assistant OS, w...
Compact size makes it easy for placement, Gorgeous Ambient EQ display is perfect for photos, Google Photos Live Albums are perfect on this display, Bluetooth built-in (enables sending audio to speakers or headphones), Far-field mics are super accurate, La
Small size makes watching shows or movies difficult, Low resolution screen (very low PPI), Speaker is weak and not good for music, No battery (non-portable), Lack of camera means lack of video calling, Final Thoughts, Google's Home Hub is a great product
Google's Home Hub is a great product that ultimately feels a bit basic for the price. Some may not be able to come up with a reason to own a smart display over a smart speaker, and the Home Hub's lack of defining features doesn't help this, especially giv...
Abstract: Google's serious about hardware. Last year, we saw two smart speakers on opposite ends of the pricing spectrum join the Home. Now there's another model to choose from. The Home Hub is much different, though. While you still get all the brilliance of Googl...
