Thebest smart hometech is getting more and more user-friendly, and the next generation of theGoogle Nest Hubis no exception. According to a well placed source, the smart home hub will be two devices in one. Leave it on its speaker dock and it’s a home hub, with a simple interface giving you fast access to your key smart home controls as well as useful information such as the weather and app shortcuts. Detach it and you’ve got yourself a tablet.
The news comes via9to5google.com, which points out that the currentGoogleNest Hub is already rather tablet-y. But it doesn’t currently transform into a tablet, a feature that’ll make the 2022 Google Nest Smart Display considerably more useful.
Smarter than a smart home hub
I don’t think Google needs to make the Nest Hub into a fully-featured tablet unless it’s going to do it with the Nest Hub Max, which is bigger, more powerful and a lot more expensive as a result; low-powered 7-inch tablets deliver a pretty horrible user experience. But a little Nest Hub you can quickly detach to look up something online or order something makes sense.
Google has been heading down that road for a while already: there’s a web browser in the Nest Hub, albeit one that isn’t advertised as such, and a Gboard-style on-screen keyboard was added last year. Adding detachability as a useful feature rather than trying to turn the whole thing into a fully-featured tablet would make the Hub that little more useful, and that’s never a bad thing for smart home tech.
