The Google Nest Hub is like a 7-inch tablet with stand and speaker built-in that offers a visual display to control your smart home and display content. The Nest Hub is always wired into a plug socket so it isn't a portable device and not to be thought of as a tablet: rather it's a control point for all your smart home goodies. The Google Nest Hub's 7-inch LCD touchscreen sits neatly on top of the full-range speaker and stand, pretty much hiding them from view when looking at the device front-on.
