Great first entry into smart hubs!
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.I wasn't sure about Google Hub when I first got it. Most of our devices are iOS but we have a lot of smart home features that work well with google. After having this for over a month now, I love it and would highly recommend it to other people that are looking for a hub for their smart devices. One of my favorite features of this is the photo feature. I can load up an album through google photos and they will continuously rotate through them. For portrait photos, you can have two show side by side instead of having dead space around the photo. The one feature I haven't found super accurate is sleep tracking. It will give me a summary the next morning and it's almost always lower than how much sleep I actually got. Besides that, I love that I can play music, look at photos, watch shows, and YouTube videos, or even check on my security cameras. Highly would recommend and I'll most likely be getting another one on the other side of my house.

Worth it when it's on sale
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.I like this product. It's built well and it looks great. The only thing i don't like is there's not much explanation on how to use it. There's the setup process but then that's it. I have to go to YouTube to find out how to do something. The only other thing is the screen is a bit slow. People have gotten used to the quickness of cell phones and stuff. This has a small delay after you swipe. But it's still a great product and works exactly how i need it to. I use it to show me who's at the door when someone rings the doorbell and that's nice. Now i don't have to run downstairs with a bat every time.

Great Buy!
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.It's cute and I enjoy the fact that it doesn't have a camera. It synced seamlessly and works well with my other devices. It has a decent sound for a bedroom, I wouldn't want to put this in the living room or family room unless you're not using it to play louder music. Overall I debated weather out not I really needed it over just a speaker with better sound but I'm glad I made this purchase

The best product I didn't know I needed!
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.I love my Nest Hub 7" Smart Display with Google Assistant (2nd Gen) so much that I bought a 2nd one for my home office. I even ordered one for my dad for Father's Day. I use the Sleeping app to keep track of how well I am sleeping at night, then review my stats in the morning. I enjoy viewing the changing pictures on the Nest Hub on my desk while I work and listening to soft music. I use it to control my smart light bulbs in all of the rooms in my house. I ask the Google Assistant about the events on my calendar, set reminders, and various questions all day long. Often she has better answers than Alexa. I am still learning all the wonderful things it can do.

Q: QuestionWhat are the improvements over the first generation hub?
Asked by andya41.
- A:Answer Moatly the soli radar sleep sensor, re-tuned bass for better sound, 3 mics instead of 2, and on board command processing instead of querying the server as much, and internal hub-like network enhancement to allow communication with lights etc if your wifi went out. Sounds like Amazon's sidewalk but google calls it something else. Unclear if processor is new. Beveled edge is cosmetically different. Screen res is the same as gen 1.

- A:Answer I forgot to mention in my previous answer that, no, you don't need any additional equipment. Everything is streamed over the Internet, and played on the built-in speaker. You do have the option of subscribing to TunedIn's premium service, which will have fewer ads and more contents. Before buying this device, try out TunedIn on your phone, tablet or computer. You can either go to TunedIn's website, or download their app. What you hear is exactly what you'd hear on this device.
