You might check the weather every morning, but if you end up watching YouTube videos on this display, it will most likely be while you do something else. Here’s the thing: most owners aren’t going to look at the Google Nest Hub Max screen too intently that often. Resolution is 1280 x 800 pixels, which leaves fairly clear pixellation when you look up close. We wouldn’t be too pleased with this screen if it were packed into a tablet, though. This is a huge upgrade if you want to watch video on this smart speaker, which is a natural fit if you put the Google Nest Hub Max in a bedroom or kitchen rather than your living room. The Google Nest Hub Max has a 10-inch LCD screen, much larger than the 7-inch display of the original Home Hub. There’s a touchscreen and you can partially control the unit with it, but to remotely unlock its potential you’ll need to talk to it, or at least “cast” content from your phone. The design may encourage you to think of the Nest Hub Max as a Google tablet with a speaker attached, but it’s really nothing of the sort. But this unit costs far less than those high-end tablets, and has much better-sounding speakers.ĭo note that you can’t remove the tablet part. This is the look of a tablet from years ago. Of course, compare the Google Nest Hub Max’s speaker part to the iPad Pro or Samsung Galaxy Tab S6 and it doesn’t seem as glossy.
