 everyone, this is Amit Dan of AmitDan.com. Today I'll have another episode of unboxing and review video and I'll be opening the Google Nest Hub. So you're looking at the Google Nest Hub which is right here and this is a smart home speaker powered by Google Assistant with a display on it and it has 7-inch touchscreen display which is 1024 by 600 resolution so you can actually visualize what you're asking Google Assistant to do or you can watch videos and you can do various other things. Google Assistant can do a lot of things for you so basically if you have a Google Assistant powered home speaker so this is the same thing but it has a display so you can actually do more and it's much easier when you're looking at everything you know you're giving instructions or you're asking to show for example whether directions or anything else. Before I open the box let's take a look at what we have on the box so the box come this way so there's just a picture here and on here we have some information what Google Assistant can do so for example you can just ask to add a doctor's appointment to your calendar what batteries what bakeries are nearby and show me the front door if you have a smart camera which is linked to the Google Assistant system and then show me to cut a pineapple on YouTube so if you're looking for instructional videos or any videos you can just watch it on YouTube by just by asking and then play some music for cooking and show me my photos from Hawaii so if you link your in album or your Google photos to this device then you can actually ask it to show it here and on the back of the device we have just a picture and then here on this side we have some more information for example get personalized events commute info reminders and more with Google Voice Match control connected home devices from a single dashboard which you can do it from here and get answers from Google and watch helpful videos from YouTube and play or you can even play your songs on a full range speaker with support for multi-room audio and see your best and latest shots from Google photos and you can also watch news TV so it has lots of things so let's just open up the box now and we'll take a look at it what comes inside with it so I just removed everything from the box and the box is empty I'll just set this aside here this is what it comes with box so the first thing we have is just small let's get a started guide and there's a warranty information and other regulatory information you have a power cable with an adapter and actually this looks like the same power cable and adapter like Google Home Mini and here we have the device so on front of the device it looks this way and if we look on the back this is charcoal color and there's much not much on the back here's just a power plug-in but unlike Amazon Echo 5 it doesn't have any you know output to connect it to a speaker or anything so basically you don't have to listen to everything through this speaker right here I just you know plugged it and looks like this is starting now and we'll go through the first initial setup process and see whether it is easier difficult to set up okay so it's asking to download and open the Google Home app on your phone to start setup which I will start doing it now once I open the app I'm going to just go to the add a device and see you know what happens here so here is giving me the option to set up a device and I'll click on it so it's just looking for devices and okay so it was able to recognize Nest Hub right away and it it's asking would you like to set up the Nest Hub so let's click yes and now it's asking to follow the setup instructions on the Google Home app and here you can see that you know it's trying to connect okay so I can see they're matching M2J8 so I'm going to say yes and improve next up also no and it's just asking to you know give it a name which can be living room device choose a location for your Nest Hub so living room Google M and then next okay create a unique name so I'll change this name to Google Nest Hub okay so it's just asking to connect it to the internet and it will you know possibly ask to enter the login ID or let's say it might just pick up the login ID and password from the phone okay so looks like you know it didn't have to I didn't have to enter the password or anything so just picked up the password and information from the phone and basically looks like that's going to be it and it's just going through the updating so right here on the phone it's asking to do a voice match which I did for another device it looks like for each device you have to do it individually so I'm going to just like in a quick to quickly finish this here so it asks me a series of questions to do the voice matching and once it's done so looks like you know it's completed and it's just setting up the voice match voice match has been set up so I have to just agree to it which I did and it's like you know it's asking to link music services the main options are YouTube Google plus Spotify and other so I'll just you know stay to Spotify because my old Google mini speaker was connected to Spotify so hit next okay so here we have link radio services Sirius XM but it requires subscription which I do not have so I'll hit no and control your Chromecast devices because I have Chromecast 4k Ultra so I'll just you know hit next and choose a location for your Chromecast Ultra this will help which I did and that should be it get started with calls so you can actually make calls with Google Nest Hub and I don't need to make any calls right now but let's see what it says here start and receive high quality voice calls with anyone who has Google Duo so you can actually do voice calls with the Google Duo but for Canada you can actually you know call any Canadian US or Mexican numbers using this device without any long-distance charges but for this Google Duo I don't need it so just you know hit not now and personalize your photo frame so it's just asking you know what type of stuff I would like to see on the Homes page so a slideshow of recent memories will be created from Google photos art gallery full screen clock and let's see so I for now I'll just choose art gallery and let's see what happens okay and here also you can choose clock faces but for now let's stick to art gallery and here you have the option to choose what type of image you want featured photos fine art art and space street art so I'm going to just you know choose the first one and then next and then looks like here we have some updates and I don't need to sign up right now I'll do no and here is a review of what you have set up your devices services Wi-Fi ambient mode and continue and it's just installing the updates which should be done anytime soon you can see that you know it says finish setup so I'll just you know click on finish setup welcome to your Google Nest Hub it has the Google Assistant built-in hi how can I help remember if you ever want to learn more just say hey Google what can you do ready to give hub a try swipe from the left edge of the screen to exit and get started it's all done here so I just like to show you there's a mute button on the back of the camera which is right here so when you put it on it just says that you know the mics is off and the mics back on so it says Mike back on and then actually there's a volume rocker which is right here so you can turn the volume you know lower or higher just by controlling that or pressing that so basically that it that looks like it to finish the setup and let's see what else we have here now that you're set up I'd like to show you a few more things that you can do with your nest hub first swipe down from the top of the screen this is where you can find and control devices in your smart home any smart home devices that you add to the Google Home app will appear here you can come back later to explore now swipe up to close your home view to close the home view try swiping up next I'll show you where to find settings swipe up from the bottom of the screen this is where you can find some of the controls for your hub like screen brightness volume and a few other things to hide these controls tap anywhere on the now that we've talked about swiping let's look at some things that you can see on your screen to check out your day tap anywhere on the screen throughout the day I'll have new things here for you anything from what's on your calendar to top hits on YouTube to see more of what I have for you scroll right so here I try dragging your finger to the left across the screen great job that's all I have for now so I'll let you have some fun and explore on your own just as a final tip if you want to find out more you can always ask me what can you do okay so looks like now looks like we're done here so if you was you know swipe to the left it gives you overview of everything on what you can see for example top of stories right here YouTube music and you know for your afternoon set a timer play video and explore more things the system can do and if you scroll down then it can give you the routines media and broadcast so let's say if we click on the media then it just gives you everything is connected to this you know device right then looks like it shows you the clock and if you just tap on it then you know it just back to the normal home screen which I choose to display pictures and if I go to the system settings here then here you'll have up the options and let's go and see what we have in here and then if we go to the volume or actually this is the light so you can have you know you can choose to have the light option and then this is the volume button which is set at five right now and this is the alarm so right now it shows no alarm I do have alarm set up on my Google Home Mini so looks like it didn't transfer that to this device so I'm going to just you know have start a new alarm on here and do not disturb so there's this mode but you know I don't need that basically looks like that's all so this is the first initial setup of Google Nest Hub and in the future I'll do more videos of various tips and tricks because I have to learn the device by myself and then there will be like you know more videos on that so I'm going to just ask you a Google Assistant a few questions and see how it performs it should be same as Google Home Mini but you know the difference is going to be that it can see what it's doing on the screen so let's ask what is the weather today in Toronto today it'll be cloudy with a forecasted high of three and a low of minus two currently it's three and cloudy how long it takes to go to work biking to work will take you 13 minutes you can see the full directions on your phone where's the nearest Tim Hortons I found a few Tim Hortons locations near you show home screen okay Google show pictures from Egypt showing your photos taken in Egypt okay so it's just showing the pictures I took from Egypt the trip I had about a month ago and you'll be able to see the full trip on my YouTube channel which you know I will be posting one by one so the screen quality is pretty good you know I cannot complain about the screen resolution although it's not a high resolution but because the screen is small I cannot really feel any difference so you know other pictures and everything is showing up really good so I'm going to just try another comment to tell or to see that you know if it can play my videos from YouTube play my videos from YouTube sure playing recommended YouTube videos I want okay Google play Ahmed Don YouTube videos playing Ahmed on videos on YouTube okay Google play Ahmed Don YouTube videos okay here's Ahmed Don videos on YouTube okay so looks like it's randomly playing one of my videos I'm not exactly sure what it's playing but let's take a look here okay so it's just playing one of my New Zealand videos and you can see the you know video quality is pretty good really it's easy to watch so looks like you know it's picking up all the videos from YouTube so let's take a look at this Egypt videos volume up okay Google volume up so you know the volume is pretty good although this is not going to be very high quality volume like you know soundbar or anything but it's still it's not bad at all and you know you can still watch YouTube videos or listen to music it's still okay and if you are looking at the video quality it's really good there's nothing to complain about you can watch your videos on here as well so that's all for now overall I'm happy with the product and this is not an affiliated or paid review all my reviews are non-affiliated unbiased and honest so you're going to get only you know honest opinions and insights on anything so overall I'm happy with the product just last week I reviewed Amazon Echo 5 and this is another device so this is a slightly it has a slightly bigger inch screen than Amazon Echo Show 5 and I'm going to have you know more videos on that too so thank you for watching forget about subscribing this channel forget about liking this video there'll be more videos coming up so I'll see you shortly
