Abstract: Shortly after announcing the Home Hub, a Google exec told me the timing was simply about “getting the product right.” Still, it's curious launching your own entry in the space more than half a year after a trio of hardware partners debuted their own.It's...
The Google Home Hub is a good combination of voice and touch control. It has already gone on sale, so you'll find it for more affordable prices. I think it's great for a kid's room or a family room. You can vary the use each time. If you're a person who v...
Pleasing aesthetic which blends hightech and home décor well, Ambient Display EQ is welltuned and effective, Speaker gets decently loud and is wellcomposed throughout higher volumes, Intuitive UI for smart device and Chromecast speaker control
No camera for video calling, UI needs expansion in smart device control and app integrations, Smaller size and lack of water resistance detract from the Hub's room versatility

Small size makes watching shows or movies difficult, Low resolution screen (very low PPI), Speaker is weak and not good for music, No battery (non-portable), Lack of camera means lack of video calling, Final Thoughts, Google's Home Hub is a great product
Google's Home Hub is a great product that ultimately feels a bit basic for the price. Some may not be able to come up with a reason to own a smart display over a smart speaker, and the Home Hub's lack of defining features doesn't help this, especially giv...
Abstract: Google's serious about hardware. Last year, we saw two smart speakers on opposite ends of the pricing spectrum join the Home. Now there's another model to choose from. The Home Hub is much different, though. While you still get all the brilliance of Googl...
