    I haven't had any issues. Sound quality isn't great for music but that's to be expected.

    This is so disappointing, the screen failed after 1 year and 5 months. We place this hub in the living room and set up our Google photos as a photo frame, and use it occasionally for voice assistant. Even with this light use, the screen still fail after such a short time. The issue is, the screen shifted all the way to the right and i can only see less than one inch of the frame, the rest of the screen is now black and distorted. Look up the warranty, sure enough manucacturer warranty is only one year, so no repair or replacement. Basically a junk now, i DO NOT RECOMMEND THIS PRODUCT

    Mostly great! Some of the games totally glitch out and reboot the device. This has happened on multiple devices of mine, so I know it’s the device and not my environment

      Hi loudmog, it's amazing to hear that Nest Hub (2nd Gen) works great for you. We do apologize for the glitchy issue you are experiencing with it.

      Rebooting was a great idea to try and fix the issue. However, if the issue is persistent, we recommend performing a factory data reset on Nest Hub. A factory reset will reset your Google Nest or Home speaker or display to its default factory settings. To reset, check on the back of Nest Hub, press and hold both volume buttons together for about 10 seconds. Your Nest Hub will let you know that it's resetting.

      If you still encounter the same issue even after resetting Nest Hub, we recommend reaching out to our support team for further troubleshooting and isolation. You may contact us here: https://support.google.com/googlenest/gethelp Nest

    Too many issues with voice control

    I bought this specifically to control my home lighting and audio. I am an Android user since Doughnut and have used almost 2 dozen different Android devices including phones, tablets, STBs and speakers. This is the first device i have used in over a decade that has had issues recognizing and responding to voice commands. I have it fully updated and it sits within 10 feet of my router, but constantly gives an error "something went wrong, please try again in a few seconds" when asking it to do basic tasks like turn on lights. I even disabled voice recognition on my other devices to ensure it wasn't getting confused by multiple devices trying to respond, but the issues persist. Definitely returning it.

      Hi there, BigPoppa. Thank you for sharing your review on Nest Hub (2nd gen). We're sorry to hear that you're experiencing some challenges with using voice commands on the device. We suggest that you retrain your device to better recognize your voice as this may help with voice control. We also suggest adjusting the Hotword sensitivity as it may also be helpful with the issue. You may follow the steps below to help improve your experience:

      Retrain Voice Match:
      - On your phone or tablet, open the Google Home app.
      - At the top right, tap your Profile picture or initial and then Assistant settings and then Voice Match.
      - Tap Teach your Assistant your voice again and then Retrain.

      Change Nest Hub's Hotword sensitivity:
      - Open your Google Home app.
      - Select your Nest Hub.
      - At the top right, tap the Settings (Gear) icon. - Then tap Audio.
      - Then tap "Hey Google" sensitivity and adjust the slider to make your Nest Hub more responsive to the Hotword.

      If the issue still persists or if you've tried these steps before, we recommend that you reach out to our support specialists and let us help find a better resolution for you. Please contact us on our Google Help page here: https://support.google.com/googlenest/gethelp Nest
