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 integration with the Nest Hello Video Doorbell ne

Fabric could get dirty in a kitchen
Need to dig into the Google Home app to change almost any setting
A few days with the Home Hub can make you wonder what exactly Google intends to accomplish with the device and how it contributes to the Home brand.The mission shared between all of the Home speakers, the Pixel Stand, and the integration of Google Assista...
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 instructions make it useful in the kitchen
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 Google Home Hub brings a visual face to Google Assistant and adds an extra dimension to the information it serves. This gadget is small enough to sit in the corner or edge or any room and intelligent enough to adjust its display to its surroundings...
Doesn't crowd your counter, Easy phone calling, YouTube and Google Photos integration, Centralized Smart Home control
Too small for movies and TV, Weak bass, No video calls
Google’s Smart Display isn’t great for watching videos or TV, or for blasting dance music, but it wasn’t designed for those things. It’s meant to add a convenient visual element to Google’s voice assistant and to help with a bunch of everyday tasks, from...

Cute style makes for a less-threatening smart display, Google Assistant is as capable as ever, Smart home controls are easily laid-out and convenient, Aggressively priced, No camera should please privacy fans
Speaker isn't the best for music playback, Absence of a camera may frustrate some
Google Home Hub is smaller than Amazon's Echo Show and Lenovo's Smart Display, and so is its price. At $149, in fact, it's only $20 more than a Google Home. That seems like a no-brainer, which I suspect is what the search giant is counting on.As we've see...
Abstract: Google's Home Hub is the first smart display product from the company. Think of it as a dedicated Google Assistant tablet, permanently attached to a Google Home speaker. You give it commands with the same "OK Google" or "Hey Google" triggers, and it will...

Abstract: When Amazon first unveiled the Echo Show back in 2017, I'm not sure how I possibly could have been any less interested as a consumer. I'm not personally a heavy user of voice assistants, though I certainly see the allure. Even still, did the world really...
While lower resolution, the display has excellent viewing angles, brightness, and a light sensor that adjusts the color throughout the day, The Home Hub is compact and easy to fit in your space, Home View makes it easy to control your smart home devices,
The speaker is good enough for spoken words but not for music, There's no button to start voice commands—you have to use the hotword every time, There's no camera, so video chat is out of the question
Yes. Google has figured out what people need from a smart display. The Nest Hub launch price is lower than the competition because it doesn't go crazy with specs and features that you don't need. The display isn't the largest or sharpest, but it's perfect...
Flawless LCD display, Fantastic night modes, Practical privacy features, Nearly perfect microphones, Clever new Smart Home management tools
WHY NO NETFLIX, GOOGLE
I am already on board with smart displays, especially in the kitchen. But Google Home Hub is the first smart display I have wanted to use in other parts of the house. It's a digital photo frame that looks like it's holding real photos, a quality music spe...
The Google Home Hub is a must-have device for those who rely on Google Assistant. For about $20 more than the Google Home you end up with a 7-inch digital display that compliments search and routines.We like creating groups of speakers and devices so we c...
No camera, Beautiful display, Simple minimalist design, Affordable compared to the competition
Might be too small for some, Sound quality is just OK
Google's Home Hub is unlike most other smart displays on the market. With its small size and soft fabric exterior, the Home Hub is well-suited for nearly every room in your house. The notable absence of a camera helps alleviate privacy concerns, which mak...
