If you're looking to smarten up your home, or add a couple more Google Assistant devices to your existing setup, now's a great time to do so with the Google Nest Hub down to just $79 with a bundled Google Nest Mini thrown in for free too. When not on sale, the Nest Hub goes for $129 so you're saving $50 straight away and the Nest Mini retails for $49. The deal is available at a bunch of retailers including Walmart, Best Buy, and B&H, as well as directly from Google too.
Google Nest Hub is a first-party Google smart home device with a screen, allowing you to see as well as hear information you request. It has a 7-inch touchscreen display, two far-field mics, and an ambient light sensor to ensure the display color and brightness fit in with its surroundings. The screen makes it more useful for visual tasks like checking your calendar, following along with recipes in the kitchen, watching YouTube, seeing the weather forecast, and more, as well as all of the regular voice commands like setting timers, listening to music, finding out the latest news and sports results, and getting answers from Google.
We reviewed the Hub on release, praising its display, build-quality and smart home management tools. The real kicker here is that the Google Nest Hub can control tons of smart home products.
The new Nest Mini has all of the same voice-based Google Assistant smarts. An update to the original Google Home Mini, the Nest Mini features several enhancements in audio playback, a new machine learning chip for better voice recognition, and proximity sensors to help show you where the volume keys are. We gave it 4.5 out of 5 stars in our review as well as our Recommended badge. You can choose from any of its four color options for your freebie in this deal.
