Not sure if you all forgot about this or not but the larger version of the Google Home Hub Nest Hub is out now w/ the Nest Hub Max. We demoed it back at I/O a few months back and this looks like the Smart Display to beat – based on your needs anyways.
The Nest Hub Max is armed w/ a larger 10inch HD display, improved speakers w/ a 3inch woofer + stereo speakers, ambient light sensors, several mics, and a Nest camera built into it to recognize people, act as a motion sensor, and more. All while still being powered by Google Assistant and can be used as a Google Photos-powered digital frame.
You can pick one up today for $229 at several retailers like B&H, Best Buy, the Google Store, and more. Is this the Smart Display you’ve been waiting for?
