Google gets even more info on you, Will be too large for some, Can't play Netflix on it,
Google is getting into its smart home stride, and the Nest Hub Max excels at smart home control, audio and video, smart assistant features and more.Reasons to buy+Google Assistant keeps getting better+Big and bright screen+Can recognise your faceReasons t...
No Netflix support, Display isn't as sharp as Lenovo's, Nest integration wobbly at launch
The Google Nest Hub Max has some slight issues at launch. Nest platform support is not quite there yet in our experience and the volume control needs an update to make up for the extra power on offer. This speaker is much more powerful than the Google Hom...
Face Match works brilliantly, Can act as a security camera, Excellent sound quality
Few video playback options, Nest integration doesn't work with G Suite accounts
Verdict Not just bigger than the original Google Nest Hub, the new Google Nest Hub Max is a better product all round. The larger display makes it easier to see what's going on, although it would be nice if there were more options for playing video. Sound...

Abstract: WHEN GOOGLE announced it was finally going to roll its Nest smart-home division into Google-proper, it wasn't surprising. What's perhaps more surprising is that it's taken so long for the first Google Nest product to emerge. The result: a smart speaker w...
Brilliant usage of the screen, Google Assistant is as smart as they come, Excellent mics
Optional Nest Aware subscription is pricey, Camera feels a little creepy
The Google Nest Hub Max takes everything that was great about the Home Hub and makes it a little bigger. That means it's still a great product but only you can really say whether you need to spend the extra £80 on an extra three inches of screen real esta...
Dazzling display, perfect for picture sharing, Camera adds a layer of home security, Auto-framing keeps us in view with video calls, Tailored experience thanks to Face Match
Audio quality is strained at louder volumes
Yes. On the surface, it boasts the same basic features found in most smart displays on the market, it does a better job than most at tying them together into a cohesive, intelligent, and powerful device. Essentially, it takes everything wonderful about th...

Great design, Camera adds loads of features, Great price
Nest functions need a subscription
Google's second smart display adds a lot of functionality with that camera that goes a long way beyond simple video calling. The fusion with Nest is not just logical, it's a masterstroke, adding appeal to this £219 display.The larger format will be popula...
Abstract: As expected, the Google Nest Hub Max is, essentially, a Google Home Hub (now renamed the Google Nest Hub) made bigger. It has a 10in, 1,280 x 800 IPS display and a beefier speaker array than the smaller Home Hub, but other than that it looks identical to...
It'll be a guardian when you're not in the house and an entertainer and communicater enabler when you're in it. It seems like the Google Nest Hub Max has too much on its plate. The transparency Googe has promised with privacy mode is important and a vita...
