Google Nest Hub Review: An intelligent smart show

Google has started talking about smart -powered smart offers earlier this year, but allowed Lenovo and JBL to launch the first products. Google unveiled its assistant display alongside new pixels, which is not only the courage in a new shell. Google added some unique features and also deleted one of the other devices.

The Nest Hub is not elegant, but the adult design should mix with your home well. The quality of the speaker is a decrease from the standard Google house, but it may be worth barter if you have a lot of smart home appliances, which are easy to control Nest Hub. This is true, doubled for the ecosystem of the nest. However, do not herald any video of your home because there is no camera. Some people may consider this feature.

Goodness

Not very good

Design, devices, what is in the box

Nest Hub looks like a small disk sitting on a platform. In fact, I will not be surprised if the guest tries to choose the “tablet” part at some point. The edge around the screen is about half an inch, which looks unnecessary. You will not actually pick up and keep the center, so there is no need for all this empty space.

The screen itself is 7 inches, but Google did not come out of the decision. It is only 1024 x 600 for a pixel density of about 170 points per inch. If you come close, there is a noticeable pixel, but you are not supposed to have your face in front of the axis. Under the normal circumstances, the length of his arm will be far from the center of the nest or more. I think it looks good. Watching angles are good, the brightness range is excellent. There is no camera on Nest Hub, but you get a light color sensor that can adjust the width temperature to suit your room (Google customizes this surrounding equation). Thus, you will not have a bright, burning screen in the corner throughout the evening.

The “parking” part that carries a false straight is the speaker. Unlike other Google Home devices, this speaker does not face you. He shoots back, and does not seem generally as standard like Google Home. It is okay in Voice and Mountube Video, but it is not something I want to use to play music. It looks like a house higher than the house.

On the back, Nest Hub has an actual and concerted switch like all other home appliances. Below at the bottom, you have one DC port for energy. The Nest Hub box is sporadic as well. You only have axis and power cable.

Show home and integration

When you do not use Nest Hub, it works like ChromeCast with some additional options. During the preparation, you can choose if you want a watch, coordinated pictures or display of slices for your own photos from Google. You can choose between modern outstanding points in your photos or specific folders. Ignore all smart things for a moment, the Nest Hub may be the best digital photo frame money that can be purchased.

At any time, you can scroll down from the top of the screen to open the view. This is the heart of the integration of smart homes in the axis. It includes fast shortcuts, multimedia, trampatics, cameras and more. Of course, you need to have this type of device connected to an assistant first. There is also a switch to distort the lights in the HUB room and stop it below – a very studied feature. You can also view all rooms in your home to reach every smart device.

If you have security cameras, Nest Hub is a great way to find out what is going on. You only need to use OK Google and tell him to show one. If you have a Doorbell Helo Nest bell, the video extract appears automatically when someone rings the bell. The nest axis lives next to the front door for this reason.

The Nest Hub’s “home screen” is a brief Google Explore interface (formerly feeding). You have the next weather, reminder and recommended news. The screen also makes certain help reactions easier. For example, I feel more confident in adding calendar times. You can also set multiple time settings and see them on the screen at the same time. However, there are some strange gaps (or errors) in assistant functions; I can’t get “Where is my phone?” Work order.

Nest Hub works with the two, but only for the sound at your end. The caller can transfer the video, which appears on the Nest Hub. You can’t send any time because the axis lacks the camera.

Should you buy it?

Yes. Google has discovered what people need from a smart show. Nest HUB launch price is less than competition because they do not crazy the specifications and features that you do not need. The screen is not the largest or the most severe, but it is completely sufficient for intended use. The built -in fingerprint makes the device easy to merge in your area, and the light sensor ensures that the screen is not like eyesore in the evening.

Smart housing integration is a very spot – it will come to other help offers, but currently exclusive. If you have a nest, hello, you Need The nest center.

You can also not reduce the value of having a frame of images that are not connected to the Internet. Nest Hub occupies a very small space so that it looks like a frame sitting on a table, and it can pull the images from Google’s photos automatically. This part is not unique to the center of the nest.

There is no camera for dual video calls, but I don’t know that I consider this defect. I don’t want to make calls with a smart show in my living room, but if you are going to do so, there are other options. The only main disadvantage with Nest Hub is the speaker – it’s not too good. If you want to play music from your smart screen, this is not the person to get.

Buying it:

You want a compressed smart offer to control smart home devices.

Do not buy it:

You want a good smart show for music.

Buy it at Google, Walmart, TARGET, B&H or Best Buy store.
