Smart displays are the tech world’s latest offering in the smart home department. This emerging technology combines the function of a smart speaker and a tablet-sized touchscreen, making it a useful helper and entertainment buddy in your home. Walmart currently has a solid deal on the Google Nest Hub that you may want to check out. Normally $149, the online giant has slashed its price down to $79.

The Google Nest Hub (formerly Google Home Hub) is a solid option for those who prefer a Google Home control speaker with a small touchscreen. It also doesn’t have a camera which is a plus point if you are protective of your privacy.

BUY NOW

This smart display is relatively small and can fit in any part of your home without taking up much space. It’s perfect to perch on a nightstand or side table and has a fascinating shelf-friendly tech which includes the ability to show your latest photos via direct connection to Google Photos or a simple settings shift. Other clever features are the Ambient EQ that automatically adjusts the brightness of the screen so it blends into the room, and the Interpreter Mode that lets you communicate with others in different languages.

Perhaps what makes the Nest Hub most exciting is its smart home control functionalities. It has a pull-down screen that provides an organized list of the connected smart home devices and their status. You can either use the screen or your voice to control lights, locks, plugs, cameras, and other compatible devices.

The addition of the screen makes interacting with Google Assistant more fun and convenient. If you want a tutorial on how to cook lasagna, you can use the touchscreen to select from the results. If you want to know how your commute will be, you can ask Google to show you a live traffic update. Other things you can do include watching the news, making shopping lists, and viewing footage from your compatible security camera.

The only underwhelming thing about the Nest Hub is its sound quality. It lacks the bass and treble and is not that loud to create an enjoyable listening experience. But overall, it’s an excellent smart display with a focus on smart home controls and Google Assistant. Order yours today for only $79 and enjoy three months of ad-free YouTube Music Premium at no additional cost.

Apple’s next home robot could turn its screen to follow you, but it might cost you $1,000 to do so

Apple HomeView feature

Remember the hopping Pixar lamp that famously squashes the letter “I” in the studio logo at the beginning of almost every Pixar movie? Apple may be building something similar, except this Pixar-inspired device won't actually hop or roll around your room. 

Instead, its motorized robotic arm could swivel the screen around (basically moving it left to right, or vice versa, on an axis). According to a new report from The Information, the Cupertino giant is working on a larger, robotic version of its recently-announced HomeView smart display, and it might arrive as soon as next year.

Apple HomeView feature

Apple’s recently unveiled HomeView smart display could also function as a home security camera, according to a new finding in its software. The device, which already has a built-in camera for FaceTime calls and facial recognition, could supposedly use the same hardware for motion detection, live streaming, and video recording through HomeKit Secure Video.

The feature was spotted by a Reddit user in the settings files of HomeView Software 27.2 (via TheVerge). Apple hasn’t officially announced anything about it yet, but the references suggest there are going to be a few more uses for the built-in camera.
