The Nest Hub Max is supposedly the first member of Google’s newly expanded Nest product family. Google has now officially unveiled the Nest Hub Max which is a 10-inch smart display that is essentially the Google Home Max, Nest Camera, and the Google Home Hub combined into a singular device. It’s coming this summer, and it will be priced at $229.
The Nest Hub Max is designed to be a single device which will serve as an entry point to Google’s entire smart home range of features. Rather than being the best smart display, or the best smart home security camera, or the best smart speaker, it’s an all-in-one device that’s will be targeting users who are just getting started with smart home products.
The camera on the Nest Hub Max is said to be the smartest cam on any smart display. In addition to recognizing your face, you can use it as a security monitor and get alerts if it detects any motion. It is also smart enough to recognize gestures and track your motion if you’re moving around while on a video call.
At just a mere $229, it’s an absolute steal for someone who doesn’t already have a smart speaker, display or a Nest camera. By encompassing all of these into one device, designed to sit in the busiest parts of the home, it offers a lot of value for this particular type of user.
