Google’s upcoming Home Display could bring back one major Nest Hub Max feature

TL;DR
  • Google’s rumored to be working on a new Home Display, its first dedicated smart display in years.
  • New code in the Google Home app reveals the Home Display preparing to support a Hub Max-style camera.
  • Functionality would largely mirror Nest Cam offerings, with limited free event recording, and the option for more with Home Premium.

Google’s a major player in the smart home space, and still refreshes its lineup with new hardware like the just-released Google Home Speaker, or last year’s new Nest Cam and Doorbell options. But when it comes to smart displays, it has been a minute since we got a proper new launch. The Pixel Tablet is three years old by now, and the second-gen Nest Hub’s a couple years older still. Back in May, however, we saw a ray of hope with a leak teasing the Google Home Display, possibly the first dedicated smart home screen from the company this decade. And as we look forward to learning more about this hardware, we start turning to software to discover a bit more about what to expect from it.
