A:AnswerMoatly 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:AnswerI 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.
A:AnswerNo. Nest Hub (2nd gen) doesn't have a camera. But, it has a Soli sensor for Motion Sense. Motion Sense uses low-energy radar to detect movement like breathing and gestures even without a camera.
A:AnswerYou can upload your photos using a phone/tablet or computer to Google Photos. Take note that Nest Hub displays photos in albums you create in Google Photos. You can log into Google Photos with the same Google account, create albums, and then choose the album in the Google Home app. You can find the details here: https://support.google.com/googlenest/answer/9136992
Also, other family members can upload from their respective locations as long as they have an account. You can also invite them to become home members. Check this link for more info: https://support.google.com/googlenest/answer/9155535
A:AnswerAbsolutely! If you have a Netflix subscription, simply link your account in the Google Home app and you can play Netflix movies, TV shows and documentaries by using your voice on Nest Hub.

A:AnswerThe Google Home speakers and hubs have a feature where if you say "hey Google broadcast" it will then broadcast whatever you say after that to all speakers or if you say hey Google broadcast followed by a specific speaker or hub on your network it will broadcast what you say but to only that device specified. This does work very intercom like just without the ptt buttons
A:AnswerEufy Security is now supporting Google Assistant. With the Google Assistant integration, you can activate your Eufy Security cameras and watch live by saying Google Assistant voice commands. We suggest contacting Eufy Security for more details.
A:AnswerNo. Google will continue to support all Google/Nest products with ongoing feature support, software fixes, and critical security updates. You can check this link for current news, updates, and announcements: blog.google/products/google-nest
A:AnswerIn a way, yes, the Nest Hub can work like this. If you have the Nest Doorbell, you can set it up so that an announcement is made on all your Google Home speakers including the Nest Hub. It will announce that someone (or their name if you have Nest Aware w/ facial recognition) rang your doorbell.
A:AnswerDefinitely! With Google Home app content filters, you can block explicit music and video content from YouTube and other music or radio services from playing on Google Nest and other Assistant-enabled speakers and displays. Parents can use these controls to limit which content their children can access.
A:AnswerOn Nest Hub, calling feature will default to audio only and there's no video for the recipient of your call since it doesn't have a camera. You can enjoy the two-way video calling feature on Nest Hub Max that has a camera. Take a look at the following link for more details: https://support.google.com/googlenest/answer/9849261
