Nest Home or Amazon Echo device, your decision
will probably come down to the smart assistant to
which you’re most loyal.

Verdict
With on-board Google Assistant, easy-on-the-eyes
Ambient EQ display technology, a built-in Nest
camera, and impressive sound, the £219 Google
Nest Hub Max makes for one of the most compelling
smart displays we’ve tested. If you’re looking for a
helpful, hands-free digital assistant in your kitchen that
doubles as a TV and even keeps an eye on your home
while you’re away, the Nest Hub Max is tough to beat.
That said, the equally compelling 10in Amazon Echo
Show will surely tempt Alexa aficionados, particularly
those committed to third-party smart home gadgets
outside of Google’s Nest ecosystem. Ben Patterson
