Google already has a great line of Google Home devices, with the original Home, the Mini, and the Max. The one device with Google Assistant that was missed is one with a display to rival Amazon and their Echo Show device.
Gain control of your life, and your home, with Google Home Hub! This is a sharp-looking and quick-thinking device, and very reasonably priced in comparison to similar controllers.
Voice Match is the perfect way to stay on top of those everyday tasks, allowing you to reference things like calendars, reminders and so much more on the home screen. You can watch the news, make a shopping list, and place Duo voice calls to friends and family who have the Google Duo app installed.
Smart lights, cameras, TVs, appliances, and much more, can be voice-controlled from a single dashboard.
The Google Home Hub sure knows its stuff. Just ask it! Your questions are answered with visual and immersive responses. Queries about anything from recipes, weather, local business information are answered in a flash, and you can even access how-to videos from YouTube with a spoken command.
The Google Home Hub will play any form of music you're in the mood for. Once again, just use your voice to play your favourite songs, albums, artists, and music videos from YouTube Music. Spotify and leading radio stations can also be listened to.
Google Photos integration is a major selling point in this Home Hub. Use your voice to show any picture that you’ve ever taken in Google Photos, and it will respond. For example, just say: "Hey Google, show me my photos from Hawaii" and aloha...there they are!

Great for controlling smart home devices
Sometimes struggles with non-Google gadgets
With the Home Hub, Google has found the right product at the right price
Bright, sharp screen; attractive and compact; Google’s search advantage; intuitive interface
Speakers are just adequate; no built-in ZigBee support
The Google Home Hub doesn’t cost too much more than a standard smart speaker and it’s much more tempting to plump up the extra cash to have the option of a screen for things like recipes, morning briefings and Youtube. There are caveats though. Google still doesn’t support all the smart home devices that Alexa does, the audio quality isn’t as good as on a dedicated speaker, and there are a lack of basic video apps at this stage. The ability to Chromecast covers some of these issues, but we had problems casting from Netflix and Google’s own apps at launch. That said though, there’s lots to love about the Google Home Hub, and given that highly attractive price, we can easily recommend it as the best screen-based assistant on the market right now.

No camera for video calls; Limited number of apps at launch; Lacks oomph in the bass;
Powerful, flexible and brilliantly using the screen to deliver more results, the Google Home Hub pulls in the full power of Google's services, but this isn't the best display for video and music.
Easy to converse with; Touchscreen displays extra information; Dedicated smart home controls; Integrated YouTube;
Doesn't like G Suite accounts; Can't play Netflix; No webcam;

If you are purchasing this as you can not grab a connection in one part of your house then you need to buy at least 2 pods (3 if you...
The Google Home wasn't the first smart speaker on the scene, but don't let that put you off. While the family of devices is now into its second generation, Google hasn't bothered to update the Home's design; the recently added doesn't really count. The reason is that software is the priority here.
Great design; Decent sound; Reasonable price point; Conversational assistant; Easy setup
Limited smart home compatibility; Speaker isn't very loud; Needs to be plugged in at all times
awsome great in the kitchen daughter loves it also
The Google Home is fun, functional, and should only get better with time.
It can be personalized to you; giving you info on your commute; weather; and calendar; Works with Chromecast; Answers questions and follow-ups fairly well; Lots of choices for music
Works with fewer devices than Amazon Alexa
