The Google Nest Hub Max is a great all-around smart display. Otherwise, consider one of our favorite tablets instead. The future of these smart home devices isn't clear right now, but if you're going to get one, we suggest sticking with devices directly from the brand whose voice assistant you prefer.
The company also laid off 18,000 people in 2022 and another 9,000 this year, and the Alexa team was purportedly hit hard. Google recently stopped issuing software updates for some third-party displays (more on that below), and it seems to have shifted focus to its new Pixel Tablet, which is a tablet that moonlights as a smart display (you can also read about it below).Īmazon seems to be continuing with new smart displays, but a recent report claimed the company lost $10 billion last year thanks to failures around the Alexa voice assistant. Meta's Portals that we liked are also no longer available. But we're not sure how long they'll be worth it, or even exist, in their current form.
Smart displays are helpful, acting as hubs for your smart home devices, walking you through recipes while you chop away in the kitchen, and in some cases allowing you to video chat hands-free too.
