When Google introduced the Nest Hub Max at the I/O
back in May, many people got enthusiastic about the 10” smart display. However,
we haven’t heard a thing since and it's only now that we get an actual date for
its market arrival.
The device appeared on Google Store with the date
September 9 for Australia, the United Kingdom, and the United States, although
it has later changed back to “Coming soon”. This means we still have to wait
a month and a half until the device starts shipping.
If you don’t remember what the Nest Hub Max was, it
is a device with a 10” touch screen and a resolution of 1280 x 800 pixels.
There is one front-facing camera with a 6.5 MP sensor and a massive speaker. It
also has far-field microphones, Bluetooth 5.0, Chromecast and 802.11ac Wi-Fi
connectivity options.
The price of the gadget is US$ 229 in the United
States, £ 219 in the United Kingdom, AUD349 in Australia. Some US retailers like
Best Buy, Target, and Home Depot will also offer the device. Meanwhile, you can enjoy the Nest
Hub that is now showing availability in four European countries (Denmark,
Norway, Sweden, Netherlands), making the tally of markets up to twelve.
