Google Nest Hub and Lenovo Smart Display share many similarities, but also certain differences

Well, as you may have already imagined, we will talk about the devices that are best positioned in the market for home virtual assistants and we will make a comparison between the two: Lenovo Smart Display Y Google Nest Hub. Beyond their most obvious differences, both devices share many characteristics that make them great options when purchasing a virtual assistant.

Surely you already know that the Lenovo Smart Display and the Google Nest Hub They are the best in their class, but if you have not decided between one or the other yet, we will help you find the best assistant for you. The first thing to do is try to answer three basic questions:

  • Where do you intend to locate the device within your homes?
  • Why are you going to use the virtual assistant, what type of content are you going to enjoy mainly?
  • How much are you willing to invest in this device?

Where to locate the assistant within the home?

Many people buy a virtual assistant like Lenovo Smart Display or Google Nest Hub to control the lights and devices in your home, others to see a delicious recipe while cooking and there are even those who only invest in this kind of devices to listen, comfortably, to an audiobook before sleeping. The truth is that both the Lenovo Smart Display As the Google Nest Hub offer these functionalities. However, when taking into account the physical space in which we are going to place it, it is when the first major difference between the two units appears: their size.

As we already mentioned, the most obvious difference between the Lenovo Smart Display and the Google Nest Hub are its physical dimensions. While Lenovo Smart Display comes in two presentations, eight (8 “) and ten (10”) inches, the option of its competitor Google, the Google Nest Hub, it is only seven (7 ”) inches long.

That is why if the space where you want to place your assistant is, for example, the nightstand or on a shelf near the kitchen, perhaps the Google Nest Hub be the most convenient and practical option.

If, on the other hand, you have a large table or you plan to include your assistant within your entertainment systems, the Lenovo Smart Display It is certainly a more suitable size to enjoy audiovisual content. So, take out the measuring tape and calculate the most suitable space for your virtual assistant.

Having defined this, we proceed to answer the second question: What are you going to use it for?

Due to its larger dimensions, the Lenovo Smart Display is more appropriate for larger surfaces

What type of content will you mainly enjoy?

If your goal is to play movies, videos, games, take photos or make video conferences and audiovisual content, the battle between Lenovo Smart Display Y Google Nest Hub the first one wins. The main advantage of the Lenovo Smart Display is that it has a 5 megapixel camera and a resolution of 1280 × 800 pixels, in the case of the 8-inch version and 1920 × 1200 pixels, in the case of the 10-inch version), while that of the Google Nest Hub It has a sharpness of 1024 × 600 pixels.

Surprisingly, the latter does not have a camera. We repeat, it does not have a camera. Unfortunately this is not a joke. So if you plan to communicate with someone through video or you are a fan of selfies, then you will already know which of the two to choose.

Now, if you decide that you are going to place your virtual assistant on the night table, we recommend the Google Nest HubAs well as having a suitable size, it has a convenient night mode with the indicated opacity that will not keep you awake with the brightness of the screen. It also has a color sensor for ambient temperature (function of color matching). And what does that mean, what is it for?

This sensor, located in the center, on the screen of the device, allows the screen to adapt to the temperature of the light in the room, so if we have a strong yellow light, the images will adopt a similar tint and brightness . Similarly, if the light is dim and bluish, the image tone will shift towards a cooler spectrum.

Regarding the image quality on both devices, without a doubt, Google Nest Hub reproduces videos and images that are sharper and faithful to true colors, even though the Lenovo Smart Display it has an advantage because of the size and resolution of its screen.

Although both devices are supported by Google assistant technology, the software of the Google Nest Hub is much faster and has a better response than that of Lenovo Smart Display, so that some touch functionalities can be processed with greater agility in the first one. The difference is not enormous, but there is a slight delay in the Lenovo Smart Display upon receiving a touch command from the user.

As for the sound system, that of the Lenovo Smart Display is slightly better than Google Nest Hubas it has a larger and more powerful speaker that also allows you to better appreciate the bass range. But in terms of quality, they are quite similar, so if you intend to use this device to play music or a podcast, both will work perfectly.

The Google Nest Hub, like the Lenovo Smart Display, has a fairly acceptable audio system

As he Lenovo Smart Display As the Google Nest Hub have Bluetooth connection. The first has version 4.2 while the second has the most recent version, 5.0. Although we have come this far, comparing functions and advantages of each one, many of you will ask: But how much does such a virtual assistant cost? And that’s when we come to the question that will possibly define the purchase you are going to make: How much money do you want (or can you) invest in smart speakers?

How much do you want to invest in this device?

At this point, you should have a pretty good idea of ​​which of these Google assistants are more suited to your needs. As he Lenovo Smart Display As the Google Nest Hub They are among the most popular and top rated virtual assistants on the market. But we know that price plays an important role when investing in technology.

The Google Nest Hub has the advantage of having a lower price than the Lenovo Smart Display

The price of Lenovo Smart Display 8-inch is located at € 179, while the 10-inch version comes to cost € 239. The price of Google Nest Hub In its only presentation it is € 129. There is nothing to analyze: Google’s device wins, without discussion, the price battle. But is it enough to turn the market war in your favor?

Well, we do not consider that there are winners or losers. On the contrary, both Lenovo Smart Display as Google Nest Hub They are options that are adjusted to the specific needs of each client. If you are looking for something to help you manage the devices in your home, Lenovo Smart Display Y Google Nest Hub they give you the possibility to do it.

Now, if the main use that you will give the virtual assistant will be video and audio consumption, it is likely that you should lean towards the Lenovo Smart Display. Its larger size and resolution make it easy to view and enjoy, even from a distance.

However, if you are one of those who appreciate fidelity and sharpness, you may prefer to sacrifice size and gain quality with Google. If it is true that size does not matter, the good news is that both are products of the highest quality and that it is only a matter of doing the accounts according to your budget.
