Google’s 2024 hardware stream showcases astonishing innovations that are sure to amaze and excite its customers. In its latest app update, Google Home discovered fascinating information about the future reveal of not one, but two new devices – the Nest Hub Max as the next generation of the previous Nest Hub Max and a Nest Audio speaker that will be its follow-up. will be. Current Nest Audio speakers.
The announcement of the Pixel tablet, which was advertised as having an integrated Google Assistant speaker dock, started a controversy over what to do with the Nest Hub. No matter how good the Pixel tablet is at smart home integration and standing on its own, it will have to give it up for the Nest Hub which is said to be significantly better in some areas.
Still, the recently released version (3.16) of the Google Home app adds a surprise. The code clearly indicates another product of the brand name “Nest Hub Max” apart from the older version. Its reveal may serve as a sign that Google hopes to continue with the Nest Hub, but it’s interesting to note that the software for the new one may rely on Google Assistant rather than Android. Conversely, it could be that Google has some ambitious plans for the development of the next-generation Nest Hub Max device, which could include the same sensor system with Soli sleep tracking.
Another nod to Google that appears on the page refers to a speaker called Nest Audio. Technically, the written code simply addresses it as “Nest Audio”, which is coincidentally the same name given to its counterpart in 2020. The announcement provoked polarization, as it served as a follow-up to previous speculation of an entry-level AI device. In the market by the end of 2023.
Which has a special feature – it is an Ultra Wide Band (UWB) connection, just like the upcoming Pixel tablets. But some problems have arisen, such as when the project’s plans for a Fuchsia OS-powered device were canceled by Google last summer. As far as Nest Audio’s connection to the company’s early era goes, it’s a vague possibility, starting with whether or not a revival has occurred and ending with a new venture.
This is of course not analogous to Nest Audio and Hub Max as additional possibilities are possible. Current mentions include the possible timing of the release of a 4K Chromecast that will include Google TV as well as leaks of the next generation of Nest WiFi routers.
The general aspect raises countless questions in mind as to how Google is planning to launch Google Assistant. The increasing prevalence of generative AI and the integration of Gemini into Android devices instead of the Assistant raises questions about the future of Google’s observable interests in smart home hardware.
Well, the company could have identified a simple method that users will always use to operate Gemini as a component of a smart home. Otherwise, Google may be planning to set different roles for the Assistant, and Gemini is aimed at smoothing over these functions rather than replacing one with the other.
