As part of its Memorial Day sale, Best Buy is now offering some notable deals on Google Nest smart home gear including the 7-inch Nest Hub Smart Display 2nd Gen. The latest Google smart home hub is now marked down from the regular $100 to $59.99 shipped in both colorways. It still starts at $100 on Amazon if you can even find it there, and it is still selling directly from Google at the full MSRP. While for some the the Nest Hub has been pushed aside by the Google Pixel Tablet that can, for the most part, deliver a similar feature set and then some, westill feel the Nest Hub Smart Display has in place in a Google-centric smart home setup (as detailed right here), not to mention it landing at a far more affordable price tag. Head below for more details.
The Nest Hub Smart Display connects with a giant collection of Google Assistant-compatible gear, providing a central hub to control lighting, TVs, smart home sensors of all sorts, your thermostat, smart locks, and much more – be it with your voice or the 7-inch touchscreen.
From there, this little smart home hub also doubles as a home speaker for watching YouTube videos, playing calming meditation audio, or just bumping some tunes. It also supports Sleep Sensing for sleep monitoring – “Sleep Sensing uses Motion Sense to detect movement and breathing – without a camera.” Here’s our original hands-on review for a closer look at the experience and the latest update for where it is now.
Do yourself a favor and check out our feature piece on we think the Nest Hub can still deliver a solid central hub for Google smart home setups right here. It will give you a better idea of whether or not these Google smart displays will work for your needs, or if you’re better off just going with something like the Pixel Tablet instead.
