owadays, everything has become smart. Your phone, your watch, your keys… then why not your home?! There are multiple smart devices out there now which you can place in your home which can make it a smarter space to live in. One of these, is a Google Nest Hub. It’s a large touchscreen device, almost as big as tablet but does more for your home and has more intuitive features which can uplift your lifestyle.

Simple Design

The device itself is a 7inch screen mounted on a stand covered in fabric (with 4 colours to choose from), keeping it from the common fingerprints assault. It has two forward facing microphones, a light sensor and two buttons at the back to mute/control volume.

Entertainment Hub

You can quickly and easily stream Youtube videos on the Google Nest Hub via voice command. For example, if you were making breakfast and want to watch live news via Youtube TV, or if you want to follow a video recipe whilst cooking in the kitchen, or keep the grandkids busy whilst you have your hands full, a simple voice command does it!

Music Streaming

With inbuilt speakers on the device you have the option to link up your Spotify, Youtube Music, Pandora or Deezer which are all music streaming services. These can be controlled via voice command if you are standing across the room and are in the mood for a melody!

A Personal Assistant:

Google Assistant is a service built into the device, which lets you check the weather, and you’ll see illustrations of the forecast for the week. Search for local restaurants and you’ll see pictures of nearby places. It will even show you how to get there on a map and then send those directions straight to your phone.
