Our full review of the Google Nest Hub 2nd generation smart display is ready for you! We're able to tell you all the great things about this new display and the not so great things that we've found during our time with the Nest Hub 2.
We will compare the Google Nest Hub 1st generation vs the Google Nest Hub 2nd generation and talk about the new features like Sleep Sensing, gestures, the new speaker on the Nest Hub, and the 3rd microphone Google added to their Google Assistant-enabled smart display.
All this and more, including a full comparison of audio for the Google Nest Hub 1 vs Google Nest Hub 2 vs Google Nest Hub Max vs Nest Mini vs Nest Audio. We'll also show you how the smart display stacks up against competitors and really delve into how Google Fit stores your data.
All of this and more on today's #GoogleNest #NestHub #review!

I am glad I watched this video a 3rd time. Last evening I was debating on whether I should get Nest Hub 2nd Gen or Nest Audio to replace my old Google Home. The sound was my 2end consideration after these features of screen size and new chip. After watching this video, I must say I did not find much distinction between the sound from Nest Hub 2nd Gen and Nest Audio at that volume level - they were more like the same to me (blame my ears!). Guess what? This video has helped me make that critical decision. I will go for the Nest Hub. I can get my sounds from Amazon speakers :-) Thank you very very much. Your analyses are always detailed and leave no questions unanswered.

Is it worth updating from the first gen to second gen? I don't need an additional display at this time. I am not sure Soli and the 1 second increase in speed would do it. :) I am not sure how they have done it, but it seems to detect when I am close like the Max does. Touch sensitivity is much improved in the latest updates too. Any news on a second gen Max hub? If I was in the market for more displays, I would definitely be look at these over Echo's .

I don't think I'd say someone like yourself needs to go update right now. I really like the new features, but they're not game changing. And that 1 second increase in speed is eaten up by the slight decrease in speed on the Nest Hub's touch interface...sooooo.... As for a 2nd Generation Nest Hub Max...no news there and I wouldn't expect it. I'm surprised at the questions coming about that device...might need to address it on its own.

I’d really like them to do something with the Thread. An example would be the smoke alarm communicating locally to a display. The smoke alarm already can communicate with the thermostat directly. Or if someone rings the front door why not alert the hub immediately. I find it normally takes a second for my Minis to alert me. I think doorbells have thread. When I set my smoke alarm it communicated directly to my doorbell via something that went down several floors. Ideally they’d open up some of the the API so I could integrate alarms into Home Assistant. For example turning off all the electric heaters off if smoke is detected would be sensible. Been waiting years for them todo something though. Do you think they ever will?

When are they going to fix alarms? When I was in grade school, I could set my alarm to wake up to an exact song on a cd and then listen to the rest of the cd in order or on shuffle. Then I got an iPod. I set it up to my iHome and it started at the exact second that I wanted it to on an exact song that I wanted. It would play whatever songs or albums I wanted to afterwards. Now I have to tell Google out loud and it doesn't get the right song or playlist. So then I have to go into the settings and fully type in a song or album and hope it gets it right. I also need to own the KZfaq Music subscription (which I do). But then I still am limited to not even being able to search my playlists - it suggests some of mine, but I can't see them. I also can't use my uploaded music. And I can't start in the middle of a song. Why is the alarm system worse today than it was 15 years ago? Especially on a device that specifically mentions how it does so well with sleep systems. And why do I feel like I am the only one talking about this?

@@AutomateYourLife thanks Brian I use Phillips hue I fell out with Amazon so moved to Apple but I use Spotify so the HomePod mini is annoying as it works much better with Apple Music which I don’t like and I’m getting rid of my iPhone for the s23 ultra soon so I thought I’d try google home I’m using a nest hub 2 and a Sonos one to control the lights but I’m finding google home is a bit buggy which annoys my wife then she will just start using the switches 😂

Someone talks in their sleep? You should be able to see if someone made a command to Google. I like that with Google. I can see that in 2022 (even Christmas 2021) the price of these will or should drop quite considerably as they're pushing the sleep radar, but won't be free to anyone who buys this in 2022.

Again... You are out of your flipping mind if you put this thing in your bedroom let alone next to your bed. Google should not have a microphone in your bedroom let alone a motion sensor that is able to tell when you are sleeping or doing other things in your bed. I don't even take my phone to bed, I leave it in the kitchen charging. Go buy yourself an old alarm clock and keep tech out of your bedroom.
