Google is following up its 2019 release of the Google Nest Hub in India with the second generation iteration of the product with an Rs. 7,999 (~$108) price tag. The Google Nest Hub (2nd gen) is arriving in the subcontinent for the first time after its global release last year.
The Google Nest Hub (2nd gen) comes with some innovative technology that has incorporated machine learning capabilities on the device making it capable of taking some voice assistant tasks. Indeed, the machine learning chip in the new Nest Hub has enabled Google to transfer some duties carried out remotely by Google’s data centers to the device itself. This means a more seamless and faster experience with the reincarnated Nest Hub.
The Nest Hub (2nd gen) is designed with recycled materials, easy to clean and it has a 7-inch edgeless glass beautiful display. Its 43.5mm driver provides excellent sound through its speaker and it also has significant improvements over its predecessor in overall sound output. Three far-field microphones also are part of the sound system for an improved voice pickup performance than its first iteration. It has an ambient EQ light sensor at the top of the device which allows the screen to automatically adjust to match the ambient light.
It should be noted that the Indian version of the Google Nest Hub (2nd gen) does not have a camera and the gesture-sensing Soli tech for sleep tracking is also absent. The Google Nest Hub (2nd gen) is available in India via Flipkart, Tata Cliq, and a few other platforms, which will expand subsequently.
