The Hub is a smart speaker that can be controlled by your voice with a 7 inch long touch-screen display. We have seen the voice-controlled speaker previously in other devices including that from Amazon, Facebook and Lenovo.

In fact, the Google Home Hub can also control other devices as well that care connected with internet, offering you better experience with answering the questions and displaying the Google Photos and YouTube on screen.

The device has got a sleek designed covered with fabric and hidden enclosures if seen from the front. Google Assistant steals the attention yet again and offers great experience after combining with Google Maps and YouTube.

Even though it does not have camera, but you can go with Nest Cams that allow you to take an entire access of Nest Cam feeds at the home with the help of Home View feature.

It also allows you to take control over other Nest devices like Nest Learning Thermostat, and Google’s updated Google Home app. The Google Home Hub can certainly play the role of a digital photo frame when not in use. It filters and removes the blurred images, putting the best ones.

The cost of Google Home Hub stands at $149 and the booking in advance would commence from the 22nd of October.

3. Pixel Slate Tablet

The Pixel Slate Tablet can be an advanced version of the Pixelbook chromebook, which Google had launched previously. Today, at the event Google announced about the new smart tablet that runs on the Chrome OS. It can play dual role; both as a tablet or a laptop.

If you attach the keyword, the Pixel Slate turns into a laptop with the availability of backlit keyboard and trackpad. You don’t need to change any battery for attaching the keyword and there’s no problem of pairing as well. You can even tilt the display to the angle of your convenience.

Like the other two devices, Google has given the best deal that includes 3 months of free YouTube TV subscription. Regarding the price, it’s about $599. If you want to also own the Pixel Slate Keyboard, pay $199 for it. There’s also a Google Pixel Pen, which cost around $99.

The new Chromecast is better with quicker 5 GHz WI-Fi networks. It also has been provided with a new matte finish.

Google had launched the Google Duplex, the human sounding robot at its I/O conference this year. Now Google has given it the band of colors. As such, the company informed that the AI tool can be now accessed with the help of Pixel 3 phone phones in four cities towards the end of the year.

Google Duplex will be assisting as a bot, supporting you in making automated reservations at restaurants. In fact, it can be seen as a future of the Google Assistant.
