Google Nest Hub (2nd Gen) Review

The second-gen Nest Hub delivers meaningful innovation with its Soli radar-based sleep tracking. Place it on your nightstand, and it monitors your sleep stages, breathing, and snoring without a wearable or camera – remarkable privacy-first tech. The display shows your sleep summary each morning alongside your calendar and weather.

The 7-inch touchscreen is crisp and responsive, perfect for controlling smart home devices, viewing photos, or following recipes. The speaker is surprisingly decent for a screen this size, though audiophiles will want a dedicated speaker. Google Assistant responds quickly and handles complex queries well.

At $99, it’s an affordable addition to a Google-centric smart home, and the sleep tracking alone justifies the cost for anyone curious about their sleep quality.
