Product details

The Google Home Hub is designed by Google to serve as a "control center" for home automation within a household. In addition to Google's own information services like the search engine and Google Maps, it also integrates YouTube and services from the Smart Home brand Nest. The Voice Match feature is likely to be of interest to households with multiple users. According to Google, the assistant in the Hub can recognize which person is speaking to it and provide personalized responses accordingly. The screen brightness automatically adjusts to the environment thanks to Ambient EQ, and it completely turns off at night. In standby mode, the Google Home Hub can be used as a picture frame by displaying selected images from Google Photos. Google claims that their algorithms can distinguish between good and bad images and automatically filter them out, so images of shopping lists, for example, are not displayed. This device is a US model and comes with a US power adapter. The Google Home Hub does not have a camera.

Amazon entscheidet den Smart-Display-Wettkampf eindeutig für sich: Auf dem Siegertreppchen landen die drei Geräte der Echo-Show-Reihe. Das beste Paket aus Sprachassistenz, Funktionen und Klang bietet die 8-Zoll-Variante. Der Nest Hub von Google platziert sich im Mittelfeld. Die Lenovo-Displays müssen sich trotz Kamera mit den hinteren Rängen begnügen.
