For those that are deeply invested in the Google ecosystem -- and that is a lot of people given that Android is the most popular operating system on the planet -- there's an excellent new deal to be had on the Google Nest Hub.

However, Best Buy is currently offering the Nest Hub for $79.99, which represents a $50 savings off the regular price. The retailer is also going one step further with a promotion that allows you to get two Nest Hubs for just $99.99.

The Google Home Hub has been on the market for quite some time, and it serves as a central rallying point of sorts for all of your home's smart devices. Last December, some good deals were going around on the Google Home Hub for the holidays that would save $80 on a Home Hub and Nest bundle deal. The Google Home Hub is being renamed to the Google Nest Hub, and it appears that Google is trying to shed all inventory with the old name, which means that are deals to be had on eBay. eBay seller thevaluestoretvs has the Google Home Hub on Buy-it-Now for $84.99 with the listing showing availability left with over 1,100 of them being sold since the deal started. The seller has 3136 ratings and...

Rumor has it that the new Google Home Hub may have a few security vulnerabilities. A hacker recently demonstrated that a Google Home Hub could potentially be forced to reveal information about its owner, but Google has now refuted this claim and contends that user information is not at risk. Security researcher Jerry Gamblin noticed that his own Google Home Hub appeared to be using several open ports. He used the command prompt on his computer to reboot his device, disable notifications, erase various settings, and delete the Google Home Hub WiFi network. Gamblin was not able to access user information, but he is concerned that those are the implications of his recent discovery. Google quickly...

Target Black Friday Deals Include Red Hot $200 55-inch 4K Smart TV, $40 Black Ops 4, $200 PS4 Bundle
Earlier today, we brought you info on Kohl's upcoming Black Friday deals, and now it's Target's turn. The retail giant has posted its Black Friday ad and there are plenty of deals to be had on tech that is sure to be in high demand this holiday shopping season. One of the biggest deals -- and unfortunately will be an in-store only deal -- is on an Element 55-inch Smart 4K TV. The big-screen television normally retails for $379, but will be on sale for a low $199. Element is typically known for lingering in the lower-tier of budget televisions, but at $200 it'd be hard to pass up on this TV if you don't mind fighting crowds outside (and inside) your local Target store. If you're looking for...

The Lenovo Smart Display (read the HotHardware review here) may have been one of the first true Google Assistant-based devices with a large touch display attached, but the new kid on the block is the Google Home Hub. Google's 7-inch device has garnered quite a bit of attention over the past few weeks for its sleek Home View, full integration with the Nest Hello Doorbell (among other perks) and its relatively low price. Today, we're learning that Lenovo is bringing some of that same Google Home Hub functionality to its own Smart Displays. New features that are being added to the 8- and 10-inch Lenovo Smart Displays include multi-room audio, which allows you to blast music...

The Google Home Hub was just announced last week as Google's answer to the rise in display-equipped digital assistants like the Lenovo Smart Hub. The device has a 7-inch screen, runs on the Google Cast platform, and does everything you would expect from a device that supports the Google Assistant. And priced at $149, the Google Home Hub greatly undercuts the cost of the Amazon Echo Show. Well, Home Depot is selling for the Google Home Hub right now for an amazingly low price of $99. We don't know if this is a price mistake, or just some early bird special that the retailer is running at the moment, but 33 percent off an unreleased product sounds like a smokin' hot deal to us.

Google today announced the latest addition to its Google Assistant family, and it's a device that you might have seen before. The Google Home Hub takes the best of the devices like the Google Home and Google Home Max and adds a 10-inch touch display that you can interact with. Given that this is a Google-branded device, it is deeply intertwined with services like YouTube, Google Maps, Photos and Google Search. All of these apps have been optimized for navigation by voice and support glanceable information. Through the use of Google Voice Match, the Google Home Hub will be able to identify who is speaking to it and display content (i.e. calendar, reminders) based on the current user. ...
