I personally didn’t religiously use it (for fear of looking at my current deplorable sleep habits), but I understand why the giants have made this step. Set-up for Sleep Sensing was pretty clear cut, too, which involved laying down for about a minute or so with the device pointed at you whilst in bed. As a personal user of the Google Home Mini for years I was a skeptic in switching to a smart display the Nest Hub makes sense as an upgraded option to replace the Mini, or even to sync-up with its other devices for louder audio (I maxed the volumes on both via my Google Assistant app, and with a subwoofer you could definitely power a small intimate house party). The first thing that stuck out was definitely its sleek design, but above that, Google’s no-nonsense UI makes for an experience that is pretty seamless from the word go.
With my usage out the box, the second gen Nest Hub was effortless to set up fresh.
Google have also managed to squeeze in an ‘off-mic’ button for no audio tracking on the back, and the device also comes with a dedicated volume rocker for when users can’t rely on their voice to turn it down for whatever reason. The build also champions sustainability, with 54% post-consumer recycled plastic making up its plastic pats, and with the aforementioned display choices, the edgeless floating glass bezel proves to be quite a sight. And although I haven’t yet stored any of my personal snaps, it’s choices of a curated art gallery and fullscreen clock in place of that are pretty nifty too. Its bezel looks sleeker than most devices would on most furniture, and also features Live Albums, which connects your Google photos on storage or those that’ve been shared, to then be displayed. With physical improvements too, the second gen Nest Hub comes with an upgraded speaker, which promises about 50% improved audio. This was often useful for when my personal laptop was tucked in another part of the house and needed, say, some Marvel or Mondo Grosso playing in the background for ambient accompaniment.

As well, Netflix, Disney+, Youtube TV and more are a part of its eco-system, with subscripted accounts neatly syncing up with built-in Google Cast functionality. The Nest Hub impressively comes out of the box with YouTube Music, Spotify, Apple Music, Pandora, and other streaming services built-in. Additionally, alarms can literally be waived off if a snooze is in the cards that morning, as if we didn’t already feel bad for ordering tech to search up our whimsy, useless trivia.Īs with its other devices, entertainment, wellness, and productivity features are aplenty, with news apps, mini-games, scheduled reminders, and meditation suggestions at the flick of its home screen. I won't lay bare my coughing habits for public scrutiny, but let's just say it was plenty.Īnother feature that comes courtesy of its Soli chip is Quick Gestures, which allows users to change a song currently playing or a video to be swapped just by a wave of a hand. What this means is that sleep patterns throughout the night are analysed via behaviours, like snoring, or in my case, restless and coughing. Interestingly, Google has come forward to reiterate that Sleep Sensing tracks just movements, not facial or specific body recognition, amidst security concerns. How it does this is via Motion Sense enabled by Google’s Soli chip, a low-energy radar inside the Hub that only detects motions. Starkly, the Nest Hub introduces Sleep Sensing, one of the features that sets it apart from its predecessor. Launched in Singapore late last year, the 2nd generation Google Nest Hub imbues more of what the tech behemoth sees as not just home devices for access to lights and switches, but also as personal accompaniments to everyone’s bedside and nightstand.

With everyone and their aunts turning smart homes into a 21st century staple, it seems fitting that the Google Nest Hub saw an upgrade from its first generation.
