Google Home Hub hands-on: Big AI in a small smart display I honestly thought the Google Home Hub was going to be bigger. Like, much bigger. Significantly bigger. With Amazon’s second-generation Echo Show cranking the touchscreen up to 10-inches, and Facebook’s Portal+ even bigger at 15-inches, Google’s smart display is oddly compact. Then again, maybe small also means perfectly formed. The 7-inch screen may only offer half the real-estate that, say, … Continue reading Read the full article on SlashGear »
