Abstract: Two-and-a-half years later, the Nest Home Hub remains one of my favorite smart screens on the market. Maybe that's a commentary on the rate of improvement in the category, or maybe Google just got things pretty right the first time out. It remains one of...
Slim, sleek design, Google Assistant on board, Superb smart home and photo frame features, Monitors your sleep without a wristband
Quirky coughing and snoring detection during sleep monitoring, Sleep Sensing might be subscription based down the road
Equipped with Google Assistant-powered smart home control, a wide range of entertainment options courtesy of Chromecast, and terrific photo frame functionality, the new, $99 Nest Hub makes for a great purchase if you don't already have a smart display on...

Sleep sensing can be fickle, Air gestures could work better
Compared to the original Nest Hub, the Google Nest Hub (2nd Gen) is a more attractive smart display in every way. The aesthetic upgrades, though minor, make it look more luxurious than the fair $99 price suggests. I already liked Google Assistant's smart...
The resolution isn't the highest, but this screen gets dim enough for use in a bedroom, and Ambient EQ makes it blend in very well, The new Hub is faster, exhibiting fewer slowdowns in the UI than the OG device, It tracks my sleep at least as well as any
Google has yet to provide me with any suggestions beyond common sense—it needs to do more before Google can charge for it. Medium and large pets will interfere with your tracking if they get on your bed, too, The rear-facing speaker is fine for chatting w
Google Nest Hub 2nd Gen8/10Sure, if you want a new smart display. At $99, the 2021 Nest Hub has a much lower MSRP than the old version, but that device hasn't sold for full price in ages. In reality, the new Hub might be a little more expensive at launch...
Improved sound with strong bass, Intuitive software with regular updates, Unique, hands-off way to track sleep, Affordable price (not including Sleep Sensing)
Unknown sleep tracking subscription fee in 2022, Missing sleep tracking metrics compared to wearables, Google Fit is simple to a fault
The Google Nest Hub (second generation) is cheaper and sounds better than the original. Those two points alone make it worthy of your hard-earned cash. While bedside sleep tracking is a novel feature, we're not sure how much it will cost come 2022.If you'...
Tracks sleep and breathing, Intuitive interface, Excellent smart home controls, Google Assistant responds quickly, Compact design
Might attribute co-sleeper's coughing/snoring to you, No camera for video calls
With the ability to track your sleep in addition to all of the voice control capacity of the original, the second-generation Nest Hub smart display is an ideal bedside companion for Google Assistant users...

Affordable smart display packs useful Google Assistant, No-contact Sleep Sensing is tracking without the wearable, Bass improvements make for better music, Promise of better smart home integration with Thread in future
Sleep Sensing results require some interpretation, No charging port for a phone on your nightstand, Sleep Sense will eventually require a subscription
Honestly, the trickiest part of reviewing the new Nest Hub has been deciding where to put it. For Sleep Sensing, it obviously needs to be next to the bed; the problem there is that I don't really need a full-functioned smart display on my nightstand. I ca...
