Does a cheaper price tag, better audio, and sleep tracking make this a better buy than the original? You bet.

| | Bottom Line |  | The Google Nest Hub (second generation) is cheaper and sounds better than the original. Those two points alone make it worthy of your hard-earned cash. While bedside sleep tracking is a novel feature, we're not sure how much it will cost come 2022. If you're going to buy the new Nest Hub — which you should definitely consider doing — you might want to do so without taking Sleep Sensing into account. |
