I lived for four months with this snappy Google Assistant-powered smart display and found it useful for everything from cooking instructions to home security.

The 10-inch screen is a significant step up from the 7-inch Nest Hub. Good speakers for a smart display. Google Assistant remains the best voice assistant. No mandatory, annoying banner ads to try things (cough, Echo Show).
-
-
No night vision for the security camera and no physical privacy shutter. Unlike the Echo Show, it doesn't sync with Apple apps, such as Calendar and Apple Music. Google collects a lot of data about you.

The Nest Hub Max isn’t just a larger smart display, it’s Google’s first where the Assistant can see you, too. If the original Nest Hub was a connected digital photo frame that just so happened to have Assistant smarts baked in, the Nest Hub Max builds on that with a bigger screen, better audio,...
-
+
Bigger screen looks fantastic, Audio much louder and clearer than Nest Hub, Face Match works quickly and accurately, Assistant keeps getting new features
-
-
No physical camera cover, Limited to Duo for video calls, Assistant UI doesn't make the most of the display
![]() |
A sleek design, smart motion tracking and handy privacy switch make the Nest Hub Max a great smart display. At $229, the Nest Hub Max is about $100 more than the Nest Hub, but with that you get a larger display, more powerful speakers, and a camera which enables a host of other features.

Attractive design, Great speakers, Clever motion-tracking, Privacy switch blocks camera and microphones

Can only make video calls using Google Duo, Nest Cam integration issue for iOS users

The Google Nest Hub Max is a big, bright smart display with Google Assistant, and you can even use it as a home security camera.
-
+
Integrates with Nest and functions as a security camera., Supports Google Cast., Fairly loud.
-
-
Sound quality isn't particularly impressive.
![]() |
The Nest Hub Max maintains many of the best parts of the regular Nest Hub, like the design and the software experience, but outclassed its smaller sibling in almost every way
-
+
Larger screen, Better sound, interesting face recognition tech
-
-
Not the cheapest smart display, No physical camera shutter, The volume button placement is annoying
![]() |
The Google Hub Max feels a little unnecessary unless you really want a larger screen and a camera.
-
+
Excellent digital photo frame , Responsive hand gesture for play/pause , Useful auto framing during video calls , Loud sound
-
-
Video calling only supports Google Duo , Text looks fuzzy on low-res display , No physical camera cover

“The Google Nest Hub Max sets a new benchmark for smart displays.”

Because the Nest Hub Max can only connect via Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, and Thread, it’s best suited to smart home systems made up of other Google Nest devices. The good news is that Nest makes pretty much any smart home device you could want, including the Nest Thermostat, Nest x Yale lock, and home...

The Max pulls double duty as a Nest camera

Big, rich display, Works as a Nest camera, Good smart home controls

Nest cam mostly siloed off, Sound quality not super, Gestures feel gimmicky

The Google Nest Hub Max blends a smart display with a smart cam to great results....

Nest Cam features help set it apart Auto-framing in video calls is a nice touch Great display, despite the fairly low resolution Excellent price for what you get Above-average sound quality

Still no Netflix Only works with Duo for video calling
Nothing short of a great purchase! I placed the Hub in the kitchen and boy is it useful! I spend alot of time cooking and just in the kitchen so I'm constantly using the Hub. From Broadcasting to the entire house, making calls via Duo as well as utilizing this hub as my central location for...
I wasn't sure if I would like this compared to the regular Nest Hub, but the size of the screen on the Max is great and the sound quality is better. Also, it has facial recognition and will customize the screen with my personal calendar and other features which is nice. #sweepstakes
I was on the fence as to which Smart Display device to purchase and did my research with recommendations from friends. This is by far the easiest device to set up and appears to work better for me. I do not have all the other smart home devices- yet!

Having enjoyed the Nest Hubs at home, I bought this one for my kitchen, and another for my office. It’s really handy, does way more than what I am using it for. The quality of the Max Hub itself is really nice; it doesn’t feel like a cheap electronic, rather the frame and base have a rich look.
Love that you can get information and play music or video with little need to touch anything. Great for kitchen where hands are sometimes wet, sticky, or otherwise occupied. Videos from sources like YouTube can help figure out how to use kitchen appliances and create great meals. Very useful.
Very disappointed that it lacks some very basic features. No access to google drive, white noise only plays for an hour unless you do some additional programming of the routines. Sound is pretty good and works great as a picture frame, but if you have a good smart phone already, save your money and...
Everything that it should be .. and great sounding. Enjoy working with Google and the ease of set up. Nice quality screen that is VERY clear.

Clear / concise screen. Easy to use. Nice sound with pretty good bass.

It works great for most of the part, but the foreign language support is pain! it does not even support some of the language at all even though the Google assistance does support all spoken languages on the cell phones, it is not the case for the Nest Hub Max.
Overall great product, only downside was the fact that the camera does not have night vision. Speakers are good for its size and pictures/photo's look good.
