The 'Hub' in the name refers to the fact that this is a smart display. All Hub products (like the Google Nest Hub and Google Nest Hub Max) have screens, while all Home devices (like the Google Home and Google Home Max) are speakers. And the 'Max' refers to the fact that this is the largest of the Hub products.

The smaller Nest Hub has a 7-inch touchscreen, while the Hub Max has a 10-inch screen. Google This doesn't preclude Google from introducing a Hub with a still-larger display, but that has not yet happened. In addition, Google appears to be in the process of switching over to Nest branding.

It's a stationary device (there's no battery, and so it needs to remain plugged in for power) that runs Google Assistant, which you generally interact with by voice. This means you can address the Hub Max using the standard Google Assistant wake word ("Hey Google") and either ask it questions which it responds to based on data it finds on the internet, or give it commands (such as to start a timer, play music, tell you the news, or any of hundreds of other tasks). 98 Funny Questions to Ask Google Home The touchscreen allows you to do a number of things using touch as well.

By swiping, you can flip through personal activities like calendar events as well as news stories, local events, music playlists, and photo slideshows. The touchscreen also lets you configure the Hub Max's settings and preferences.

While not mandatory, the Hub Max is really intended for users who use smart home devices, because the device makes it especially easy to control gadgets via voice or touch. It is compatible with Google Nest products like door locks, doorbells, the Nest thermostat, and Nest security system. You can also see the status of your devices.
