Google Nest Hub Review | 2nd Gen (2021) | It watches you sleep...

Reviewing the Google Nest Hub 2nd Gen smart speaker/display, fresh for 2021, with a new Sleep Sensing feature. This 7-inch smart home hub boasts Google Assistant voice controls and can stream media from the likes of Netflix and Disney Plus. Here's an unboxing and setup of the Nest Hub 2021 as well as my verdict on how it stacks up.
You've got a basic compact screen for watching video, or interacting with this smart speaker. I like those UI tweaks, including the Evening Mode which suits the bedroom environment. And then there's Sleep Sensing, which uses SOLI radar tech like the Pixel 4 to detect motion during the night. The Google Nest Hub 2nd Generation will then rate your sleep and even tell you if you snored. Charming.
Check out my review with the Hub Max, Echo Show 10 and other rivals to see how they stack up!

These devices are nice but only problem with this is the resolution of the display. I have the older model but it's not worh it to actively watch a video but watching a stream in a background this is awesome. Would like to buy the max version if the resolution would be at least 1080p. Would make my current tablet setup useless and just work.

Hi, I'm very tempted to get one of these as a bedside clock but was wondering can you have it so the screen is off when not needed and maybe activate it preferable with your voice when you say need the time etc? I think it sounds very wasteful having it sat there on all day when I'm at work or out the house in general. Otherwise it's perfect for what I want.

After using sleep sensing for a while, now I actually know how many times I fart during the night, when my AC cuts on and off, and how many times my dog barks in his sleep as Google records that as snoring. I also know how many times I hit the snooze button as Google translates that into coughing.

Might be a long stretch but I’ll try anyway: I got the nest hub 3 days ago and I have noticed that my settings only show the options to change my display or the screen saver. No motion sense on/off or anything? I can’t find anyone else with this problem in the web so my last chance is asking here before I send it back. Am quite happy with it otherwise and hope someone has a good idea here Cheers and thanks 🙏

We use version 1 of the hub a lot every day. If this would have been a massive improvement I would have purchased it, but it seems the UI is still a bit choppy, it’s still not nearly as “fluent” as it should be, imo. So not much of an upgrade it seems...
