The 6 best smart displays for Alexa and Google Home in 2025

Whether you're looking for a central hub for your smart home, an easy way to keep track of your daily tasks, or just want to stream TV shows while in your kitchen, a smart display is a wise choice. Available in a variety of sizes and styles, these gadgets are incredibly useful. They've evolved rapidly over the years, with companies fine-tuning their performance to ensure they're ultra-capable companions. From the Echo Show 8 to the Nest Hub, fans of Amazon Alexa and Google Home have a wealth of options at their disposal.

However, many smart displays are designed for specific tasks. For example, the Echo Show 21 boasts a massive screen that's ideal for cramped countertops, while the tiny Echo Show 5 isn't great as an entertainment hub. Some can also be used to create powerful automations and Routines. All these factors can make it difficult to narrow down your options and find the best smart display for Alexa or Google Home.
