Google Home
Google Home is a Wi-Fi speaker that doubles up as a smart home control hub and a personal assistant for the entire family. You can use it to play entertainment throughout your home, effortlessly manage everyday tasks, create reminders and ask Google things you want to know.
Google Home is a speaker that can playback songs and allow Google Assistant to talk to you. At the top of google home, there is a capacitive touch display with four LEDs. This display allows users to interact with Home, trigger Assistant, adjust volume etc. It has dual microphones to listen for your voice, and there is a single mute button on the shell to turn the microphones off. Not to worry about noise pollution, Google Home can filter and separate speech from noise and the speaker inside features dual side-facing passive radiators, which deliver full range, clear highs, and rich bass.

Google Home Hub
The Google Home Hub offers the same features and functionality as the other Google Home and Home Mini. But it features a 7-inch display to the mix, making it ideal for smart home control and video playback. Its 7-inch touch screen display lets you view today's reminders, stream videos and watch your smart security camera's footage through Google Assistant. For example, the Hub has a pull-down screen that gives you access to and control over your smart home devices. On the Hub, you can watch video tutorials, while a regular Home or Home Mini will read you the instructions.
The built-in speakers and microphones of this Google Home Hub device have far-field voice recognition for convenient hands-free control. Google Home Hub also offers Google Assistant so you can use your voice to control everything too, as you can with the rest of the Home devices, but the display brings everything to life.
However, it's speaker isn't as powerful as the Google Home. It is however a decent step up from the Home Mini. There’s still a distinct lack of bass, but mid-range frequencies and treble are clear and only start to distort when you push the Home Hub to its volume limits.
