The colors on the screen are also adjusted automatically according to the light in the room.

It can also play your favorite movies, videos and TV shows from providers like Netflix, and YouTube Premium.

The new Nest Hub adds a third microphone for a more responsive Google Assistant. It also supports Multi-room audio.

Privacy
The new Nest Hub is designed with privacy in mind so it does not include a camera like the original Nest Hub. You can unhesitatingly put it in any room of your home. The microphone can also be turned off with the switch on the back of the device (an orange light blinks to indicate the mic is disabled).
The voice command history can also be deleted easily with a simple voice command like “Ok Google, delete everything I said last week.” There is also a Guest Mode in the device that doesn’t show personal results when you have guests at home and also pauses the Assistant activity sync to your Google account.
Google has revealed in a press release that “By default, the user’s audio recordings are not retained, and they can delete all their recent activity by simply saying things like, “Ok Google, delete everything I said last week.”
Price and Availability
The Google Nest Hub 2nd Gen costs Rs 7,999 and there are only two colors (charcoal and chalk) available for the Indian market right now. You can purchase it from Flipkart, Tata Cliq, and Reliance Digital.
