A:Answer I have Echo speakers and a Google Nest Hub display. For streaming music and audiobooks, I prefer the Echo devices because they support streaming over WiFi for more services. With the Google Nest Hub, you can stream using Bluetooth if the service is not supported, but I find that is less convenient. Also, the sound quality of my Echo speakers is better than the Nest Hub, but that's to be expected, since the speakers are larger.
But for controlling my smart home devices, the Google Nest Hub wins hands down. I think it's much better than Alexa for that. The Nest Hub also offers a lots of video features that an Echo speaker obviously does not. I have not compared the Google Nest Hub to an Echo Show device, such as the new Echo Show 5, but if you search YouTube, there are videos where reviewers compare the two devices.
