On Wednesday Google announced that its Nest Hub (2nd Gen) is now available in the country at Rs 7,999.

The Google Nest Hub (2nd Gen) is available in chalk and charcoal colours across Flipkart, Tata Cliq and Reliance Digital. In a statement the company said:

“The new Nest Hub’s speaker is based on the same audio technology as Nest Audio and has 50 per cent more bass than the original Nest Hub.”

The Nest Hub (2nd Gen) features an edgeless glass display. It is designed with recycled materials with its plastic mechanical parts containing 54 per cent recycled post-consumer plastic. The company added:

“And with an additional mic, it hears you better than ever, resulting in a more responsive Google Assistant.”

By default, the user’s audio recordings are not retained. All of the recent activity can be deleted. The only necessity here is to say something like “Ok Google, delete everything I said last week”.

Google said that the new Nest Hub can fill any room with music from services like YouTube Music, Spotify, Apple Music, Gaana and JioSaavn. It can also play movies, videos and TV shows with a subscription from providers like Netflix, and YouTube Premium.
