This item seems to have the same model number as the Google NEST Hub that's sold on Google's website. So what's the difference between this item (Google HOME Hub) and the Google NEST Hub? (I'm not referring to the Nest Hub MAX. I know what the difference with that is).

Question

Accepted Answer

The "Google Nest Hub" is the same piece of hardware as the "Google Home Hub". The new name is simply a result of their brand consolidation of folding everything related to smart home under the "Nest" brand (see Google I/O announcement from May 2019). The actual packaging you receive may or may reflect that change, but rest assured it is the same piece of hardware.
