The Google Home name was then retired in 2019, when the company moved its smart-home devices to the Nest brand, adding the incredible functionality of Google Assistant.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">These days the Google Home system, with Nest hardware and Google Assistant software, is broad and impressive. You can add compatible devices like speakers and more that let you check the weather, listen to your favorite playlist, create a shopping list, make phone calls, and manage your life. All you have to do is say one of the two wake words\u2014\u201cOK Google\u201d or \u201cHey Google\u201d\u2014 and enjoy the perks of voice command.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If that sounds exciting, your first port of call should be the quartet of Nest speakers. Those are the gateway to the world of Google\u2019s smart technology.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The Google Home (now Google Nest) speaker range<\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">All four of Google\u2019s Nest devices offer the same core functionality. They\u2019re smart, voice-controlled speakers that can play music and podcasts, respond to commands, and help manage your home via your WiFi network.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The most affordable device is the <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.adorama.com\/ga00638us.html\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Nest Mini<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. It\u2019s tiny, discreet, and available in four soft, subtle shades. The next model is the <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.adorama.com\/ga01420us.html\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Nest Audio<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, a larger device with crisper audio and more bass to provide a premium experience.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/www.adorama.com\/alc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/dan-farrell-h6VVqZmA3wQ-unsplash-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"Google Home\" class=\"wp-image-69071\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.adorama.com\/alc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/dan-farrell-h6VVqZmA3wQ-unsplash-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.adorama.com\/alc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/dan-farrell-h6VVqZmA3wQ-unsplash-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.adorama.com\/alc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/dan-farrell-h6VVqZmA3wQ-unsplash-50x33.jpg 50w, https:\/\/www.adorama.com\/alc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/dan-farrell-h6VVqZmA3wQ-unsplash.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Image by\u00a0Dan Farrell on Unsplash<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Google speakers with touchscreens<\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you\u2019re happy spending a little more, you can opt for the Google <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.adorama.com\/ga00515us.html\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Nest Hub<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. This device combines speaker and microphone technology with a seven-inch touchscreen<\/span>. It <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">lets you view photos, videos, headlines, and other key information on the smart display.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Google\u2019s smart product range is capped by the <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.adorama.com\/ga00426us.html\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Nest Hub Max<\/span><\/a>. It <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">boasts a 10-inch touchscreen, stereo speakers, and a built-in camera. These features make it ideal for video calls and as a home security device.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">How can Google Nest change your life?<\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Once you have a Nest speaker connected to your wireless network, you\u2019re ready to start exploring all the features of the Google Nest system.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Remember those wake words? Just say \u201cHey Google\u201d or \u201cOK Google\u201d to wake your speaker and enjoy the functionality of Google Assistant. Even the basic features of this virtual personal assistant are impressive. You can set alarms, ask for traffic and weather updates, and get a summary of the news headlines<\/span>. You can even <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">get reminders of tasks you need to handle later in the day.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you have one of the Nest Hub Max devices with a camera, you can unlock features like Face Match<\/span>. It <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">can detect who\u2019s looking at the device and then personalize the on-screen information.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Google\u2019s smart features<\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Beyond those basic options, you\u2019ll find plenty of ways for Google\u2019s Nest devices to tie in with the rest of your smart home hardware. If you own a connected TV or Chromecast, try asking your speaker to play your favorite shows or films. You can also voice-control your home\u2019s smart lights, like those available in <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.adorama.com\/l\/Home-Electronics\/Smart-Home\/Philips~Smart-Lighting\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">the Philips Hue line<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Similarly, a quick voice request can change your home\u2019s temperature with a <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.adorama.com\/ga01334us.html\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">connected Nest thermostat<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.
