I have several google devices throughout my home, including the home hub. I have yet to own a max, so my G home sounds the best. The home hub is 24hrs old, and loving it so far.
Started with a Google Home and then got the lenovo smart display instead of the Google Home Hub because I wanted better speakers and a camera! No regrets! The lenovo is awesome to have in the home.
Just wanted to say I love this channel! It's helped out a lot especially when so many new features keep coming to these devices that I don't always catch.
The only thing the Google Home does better than the Google Home Hub is the audio. Otherwise, what you said about the things the Google Home Hub does better is true. I spend a lot of time in my recliner in my apartment, so I decided that the best place for my new Google Home Hub is on the table next to my recliner. My moved my Google Home to another room as a consequence. I am enjoying learning about and using my Google Home Hub a lot. Thanks for your video.
I will get the home hub over lenovo and the jbl link view. 1. The google home hub has Bluetooth so you can connect it to your speaker without a chrome cast audio. 2. I dont mind having a camera bc most ppl i know dont use google duo so pointless for me and pretty sure when google duo gets popular with my friends in the future, there will already be home hub 2.0 with camera. Most ppl already have Bluetooth speaker so no reason to not by the home hub for the speaker, using this for my office desk so the size is ideal
Searched a comparison video and this came up and answered every question I had. My Google home is truthfuly a dedicated light controlling, music playing, weather telling, alarm clock 😂 I think I'll pass on the hub.
Got my google home and lenovo smart display going in my home setup. Tried the google home hub but didn't like it enough to keep it. The audio just doesn't cut it for me!
Thank you. Quick question..... Say I have a Google home hub as a bedside "techcessory" and a soundbar in my room as well, can I instruct the home hub to play a song on my soundbar instead of its speaker, or to play on both speakers?
Is the speaker at least better than that of the Google Mini? Can I set the Hub so that photos run constantly as a slide show? Would it then consume a lot more electricity?
Just bought a Google Home Hub for $79 at Office Depot after my cat ate the power cord to my Google Home. At essentially the same price, the Home Hub seemed like a nice upgrade
Good question! In short I’d say No, because the Google Assistant isn’t always listening with an iPad. You’ll have to say “Hey Siri, open Google Assistant, wait for the app to open (presuming the iPad isn’t locked, if it is you’ll need to unlock it) and then say what you want to the assistant. Also, with the assistant app, there isn’t any ambient mode or visual browse features for recipes, Google News, or UA-cam.
Hi dude, great video. Can it display a monthly calendar with agenda? Rather than using it as a photo frame, I would like to use it as a central family calendar.
Not sure if it’ll show you a month view, I’ve just seen the view of the calendar for a single day. I don’t think you can have it display just a calendar instead of photos in ambient mode just yet.
@@6MonthsLater Thanks for the prompt response. That's such a shame, hopefully they add that feature in the future and then I may buy it, until then the standard Google home should serve me just fine.
I am waiting (anxiously) for my Hub to arrive. I can't wait for this baby. I use Google Keep, I saved tons of recipes there. Do you know if the Hub will work with Keep?
Ok so like you I have multiple Google home devices, but the one problem I have is if I am listening to music and my son asks google to play music in his room once my song has finished it won't continue to play anymore as its playing on my sons speaker, I use Google music and not Spotify, so my question is if I upgraded to the plan to have more than 1 account will this still happen?
@@6MonthsLater he has the app on his fone and he has done voice match does he need his own Google music account? Cuz I don't fancy paying another £10 a month haha
Looks like you’ll need to setup a family account so your son will have his own streaming music account and be able to play music on his device without interrupting your music. support.google.com/googleplaymusic/answer/3139562?hl=en
Thanks just Came home after 5 weeks and saw your updates:) and i brought a Google hub with me from out the USA. sadly I can not get keep the conversation on .. frustrated:( do you also have it? I still need to re active for all. That's a bumper
I can tell you don't like the google home hub, Laughing. I think that santa might have a hand with the google home hub in my feature. (yay) but I currently do have both the full size and the mini google home products. I love them both. I am sending this video to my wife and kids just in case. Great comparison video, thanks. I always look forward to your videos that are in my interest. until next time.
We have 6 minis, and got a hub last week. My wife wants the hubs round the house now. I like it too. We have a good BT speaker paired to a mini to make the better bt speaker a 'home' speaker/budget max. On the whole the minis are great. But the hb just look brilliant. I'm amazed how much extra the screen give you. Also as I've got over 10 years of Google photos, it makes good use of them.
$ 50 is a lot of money for many people. So, to say it's only $50 dollars more is might be missing a point for many. That could be the deal decider full stop. Thanks for the video.
$50 is cheap compared to many other smart devices that are compatible with the Google home devices. If you don't have any of those smart home devices, you don't have a need for a Google smart home system.
Zeus HD 2018 the google home hub it’s 150$ www.google.com and google home mini is 40$ one has a display google home hub and google home mini doesn’t have a display
I personally use them for whole home audio. I have 4 Google homes and 2 Chromecast audio. So I can listen to music or podcasts seemlessly while moving around the house.
Good Thanksgiving Morning to You, again Josh 😀. Wow, two videos in just a few hours❗ I hope you're not working Now 😏. I appreciate this video, as you made some good points. Such as being able to cast things to my TV that I can do already without the HUB. As I have a G HOME now, which I have been enjoying for just about exactly a year, and have approximately, 700 + Songs on my, (Non - Subscription) YT Playlists, and adding more every day, that I cast, via Bluetooth from my phone, AND have been Satisfactorily Pleased with the quality of the sound eminating from it 😁..... I'm listening to music, almost constantly ❗ 🎵 🎼 🎶 (Can also cast what I use, to my TV. I don't actually think I would use the HUB Myself, but my Daughter loves to cook, and I feel for that reason alone, She would be thrilled with it. She also has a number of Smart Home lights, and a G Mini, all of which I do not have. Anyway, again, Appreciated the video 🙂. Please Enjoy the Day Josh 😉.

If you’re trying to play the video on UA-cam, you’ll need to add that you want it to play from UA-cam at the end, for example “Hey Google, play the X music video on UA-cam.”

And it turns out.... Google Nest Hub (2nd gen.) doesn't have a camera!
Searched a comparison video and this came up and answered every question I had. My Google home is truthfuly a dedicated light controlling, music playing, weather telling, alarm clock 😂 I think I'll pass on the hub.
The differential is only £20 in the UK at present, GHH £99 whilst GH is £79

only 50 dollar price difference! 50 dollars is a lot!
It’s actually less now they’re almost the same price I think it’s a $5 -10 different
@@progaminghours3854 yeah i agree. On offer time, I can get the Google Home Hub for around £40 while Google Nest Home is £69 I think.
I wish there was a mention of number of microphones and their quality

Does Google Assistant on an iPad plus home mini not do the same job as Google Home Hub?
Good question! In short I’d say No, because the Google Assistant isn’t always listening with an iPad.

John Hutton no

I don’t think it integrates with Keep yet, though that would be a logical extension for this device.
Google needs to make it easier so we can upload our own recipes and then it’ll guide us through them. A recipe box feature would be legit.
@@6MonthsLater thank you for the reply back.
What about speakers? Which one has a better sound?
Google Home has better sound overall.
Hub is not working after changing the network provider
Screen becomes 85% black. What is the cause , and how to make it....
Can you play UA-cam videos at faster speeds on the home hub like you can on a phone or some tablets? (.5, 1.25, 1.5, and 2x speed)
I haven’t figured out how to do this yet. If you can, you’d have to do it with a voice command.
Ok so like you I have multiple Google home devices, but the one problem I have is if I am listening to music and my son asks google to play music in his room once my song has finished it won't continue to play anymore as its playing on my sons speaker, I use Google music and not Spotify, so my question is if I upgraded to the plan to have more than 1 account will this still happen?
