Nest Hub Max is a larger, more powerful smart screen similar to Home Hub. It has a 10-inch hd screen that you can use in Spaces like the kitchen or living room. Like Home Hub, Nest Hub Max can play videos and display your photo collection. It also has light sensors, so the screen's brightness and temperature are adjusted to suit the surrounding environment.
But size isn't the only difference between Nest Hub Max and its predecessor. It also has a camera (6.5 megapixels), which the Home Hub doesn't. Like Nest's camera, you can use it as a security camera and turn it on or off when you're not around.
Like many other Google smart monitors, you can make video calls using the Google Duo camera. Nest Hub Max is unique in that it has a unique feature called Auto frame, which basically follows your face as you walk around the room, automatically centering it. This seems very similar to the panning technique used on the Facebook portal. Another unique feature of Nest Hub Max is quick gestures. Instead of just using your voice to control video or music, you can stare at it and raise your hand.
Nest Hub Max also offers a face-matching option that automatically identifies you and displays specific information about you, such as your appointment for the day. This can be very useful if you live in a multi-family home.
One of the advantages of the Home Hub is that it does not have a camera, as it helps ease privacy concerns. Nest Hub Max does have a camera, though, so Google has some privacy measures built into the hardware. First, a green LED light lights up every time the camera is turned on. You can also disable the camera feature, and there is a hardware switch that turns off both the microphone and the camera.
