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
Looks great, Display is actually useful, Easy to setup
There are better sounding smart home speakers, Could be too pricey for some, You can't Cast Netflix
"While I rarely use the Echo Show I have in my kitchen because the device is limited in what it's actually capable of doing, the Nest Hub features direct integration with Google's services and apps. "...
Everything about the Nest Hub — the screen, the YouTube, the photo display, the Home control, the limited sound — we reckon it all makes the Nest Hub a superb device for the kitchen. And perhaps only the kitchen. You really should not make it your default...

sleep tracking without bracelet or headband, good screen, decent speaker, Google Assistant, hand gestures, Cast support for video and music, BBC radio, recycled plastic, no camera for privacy concerns
7in screen a bit small for video, can be a bit slow at times, no camera for video chat
The second-generation Google Nest Hub offers quite a few features squeezed into a compact and easy-to-live-with device.It is very similar to the first generation but the addition of radar for gestures and sleep tracking is useful. It might not record hear...
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
If you're looking for an affordable Google Assistant-powered smart screen that focuses on smart home control, then buy the Google Nest Hub — just as long as you can forgo video chatting. If you can't, then consider the fully equipped Nest Hub Max that dou...
Abstract: Winner: iPhone 11Instead of being a successor to the last year's XR, the iPhone 11 seems to be the younger sibling of the new iPhone 11 and iPhone 11 Pro Max line-up. Running iOS 13 and powered by Apple A13 Bionic chipset, the dual-camera setup capt...
Google Assistant and connected services work well, Visual cues for some basic functions, Useful ambient light sensor
Smart displays offer limited functionality, A bit expensive for what's on offer, Sound quality isn't great,
We quite liked the Google Nest Hub as a product, though it's clear from the time we spent with it that smart displays have a long way to go before they become truly smart. For now, these are just smart speakers that can present additional visual context t...
The Google Nest Hub is a lifestyle product and not a mainstream necessity. In the future (some 5 years from now), these devices may be very common in every household. But today, it's a product for early adopters. Whether you have a smart home or not is a...
