Google Home Hub hands-on

Google has announced its Google Assistant-powered Home Hub. We spent some time with it, and it’s much smaller than you would expect from the 7-inch display size. It looks like nothing more than a tiny floating tablet on a cloth-covered stand. That display has something called Ambient EQ, which automatically adjusts to the light in the room to look more natural.

Here's a thought: Zoom in close enough to the display when showing off the features so we can actually see what's going on.

This was honestly the next logical step for Google

Would have liked a camera for making Duo calls. Maybe they could have put a cover over it if they were concerned about privacy

This looks really nice, will probably replace my home mini for christmas

How are the speakers for music? I use my google home mini as a small speaker in my living room, but I'm curious if this would give me better sound.

YO! Editor, STOP triggering my Google Home. :P

So I assume all the lights were broken in that apartment! And no zooming in to see what the screen shows clearer??

[funkyman]

I kinda want this just as a second monitor to watch youtube on while I'm playing something fullscreen on my main.

Priced right. Finally has a display. Looks great.
Not bad Google. I wish Google would DO THE SA FOR THE SAME WITH THE PIXEL 3. THAT NOTCH IS DAMN HUUUGE.

Where do you get the blue one? Thats not one of the colors google offers, but i really like the blue!

[efp]

This is cool. Definitely what the amazon show thing should have been

[yohanlobo]

This is Google's next step of building a fantastic & reliable ecosystem

[Active-]

pretty sure he called it a Google HomePod in the beginning

[FebiMaster]

Do this only support for Nest stuff? For doorbells, cameras, thermostats etc, no other brands?

[jarrodjob]

The 6 months free YouTube premium is only for new/never signed up. It’s in the terms.

[jerryj]

Time to take this channel to 4K guys, I believe in you!

[yoshitravelsjapan]

seems like a great product for the price... my only concern is; is it worth getting one even though i already have a google home speaker??

[FaultyStreams]

Haha! My Bedroom TV wasn't on when you asked it to play that video!

[Chhimp]

Nest hello and the ability answer and not just view is a plus. Wish it had the drop in function like show than it would be a perfect replacement. Since it is google, i bet they will have youtube support also, the missing ingredient in the other competitor.

Need something for my Genkan/Foyer to show me the weather and turns off the house lights as I leave for work. Not bad for the price but wished it the home screen could be better customized.
