Key Points:
- Google has not released new central smart home devices like smart speakers and displays since 2021, with the latest being the second-gen Nest Hub and Nest Audio in 2020.
- The recent launch of the Google Home Speaker marks a welcome return and signals active improvement in Google's smart home hardware, building on familiar experiences with a fresh design.
- A new "Google Home Display" smart display is anticipated soon, with hints from Google Home’s chief and code appearances suggesting its development is underway.
- Historically, Google's smart displays have ranged from the compact Nest Hub to the larger Nest Hub Max with added features, and the Pixel Tablet which tried to blend tablet and smart display functionalities but was less successful.
- The Nest Hub Max model is considered the best template for the upcoming smart display, potentially including enhancements like a built-in Nest Cam with night vision, complementing the smaller Google Home Speaker in the product lineup.
