Amazon Echo Show 10 vs Google Nest Hub Max - Which is the Best?

- Amazon's latest flagship Echo Show 10, now swivels and follows you around. Creepy. The Google Nest Hub Max is the best that the search giant has to offer. Which 10-inch smart display reigns supreme?
The new Amazon Echo Show 10 arrived not too long ago. We've done a separate review that you can find at this link - • Echo Show 10 - Alexa I... .
The main feature that makes the latest 3rd generation Echo Show 10 apart from its predecessors is the rotating screen that, creepily, follows you around. It also tilts manually, around 40 degrees up and down. You can use the settings to tweak it to suit your needs. Other upgrades include a faster processor and a new four-microphone array. A Zigbee hub is built-in for great smart home product compatibility and integration.
The Google Nest Hub Max has not received any updates since its launch back in late early 2020. But it remains the top smart display in the search giant's arsenal. The screen is somewhat smaller at 10 inches vs the 10.1 inches of the Echo Show, but that's just splitting hairs. The Nest Hub Max has received many software updates and, for the most part, is extremely stable. It benefits greatly from the power of Google's search engine, making the Nest smart assistants, historically, a little more intelligent when answering questions and queries.
The question is, which is the better overall smart display? Which one does what it asks better? Well, we've put both through a battery of real-world tests that should give you a good understanding of each device and its potential weaknesses and strengths.
While we recommend watching the entire story, you can skip around using the chapter index below. Give it a try!

Great video! But for the love of all that is holy, please mute the hey google commands.
We keep putting it in the script. But somehow... We'll use a bigger stick next time :)
Great video! I really appreciate BUT, also chill with the Alexa commands.
@@suible We'll get a bigger stick for next time :)
This is a great comparison video. Love it. Thank you. 😀
Glad you liked it!
nice review. thank you.
but I didn't understand what the main functions of these devices. Is this photoframe, TV-screen, smart-home hub?
Thank you. Please show the full-screen clocks on these devices. I cannot find demos of most. Also, can users can join a Zoom meeting without the other party adding anything to their device?
can you cast anything that's castable? like not just youtube and netflix but maybe plex or some random video on the internet that has a casting option?
Thanks for this. Ive been wondering if viber could be used on the echo show? Since most of my contacts doesnt use alexa thou viber is highly used.
Great vid. Do you know when google's new one is launched?
I like this hands on video. it's without all the "nerdy" stuff, which there are hundreds of.
Just from listening to the audio test that you did I believe that the Google nest hub Max sounded better . If you watch the video back the echo has muddier more muffled sound coming out of it as the Google has more crisp high's and deeper lows . Otherwise great job with the video
Only thing I disagree with was the audio conclusion. The Google sounded much better in every video I've watched, over different devices I've watched it on. Other than that, great vid!
You said Google is coming out with a new one how do you know and when is it coming out
Can Amazon Echo Show 10 play CZcams (audio as well as video) instantly by giving a voice command at 15 foot distance? Can Google Nest Hub Max do it?
Geez...I wonder what's next next year? I'm still waiting for custom made wake names bc I want to call out to Jarvis instead of alexa lol
I might point out that when it comes to timers Alexa is way easier to handle timers from any device. I use timers all day. The fact Alexa will pop up a notification on my phone when a timer ends or I can turn them off and change them from any other Alexa device or app I have registered. They also won’t turn off a timer without my say so.
Not muting the commands makes this super frustrating
We'll need to have a stick on set for Alexa and Google violations next time.
I wish I can use google duo with Echo, just because I already have youtube premium subs and don't want to pay extra
I'm using google duo has main phone for my Kids at home, they call my husband everyday and it's work fine!
I have a couple of Amazon devices and more Google devices. I use the Google devices as speakers, controlling lighting, for watching CZcams, timers and reference questions (I'm a former librarian). Oh. And controlling Nest thermostat.
I chose Google because I trust Google WAY more than Amazon. Not entirely sure I trust Google, but Amazon ...
Thanks for sharing that experience. Over here, we tend to like Alexa for all our smart home devices. But when it comes to the smartest one for organizing our digital lives, we due tend to lean towards Google for that.
Echo show for the win
The fact that it turns
I do wish the screen could be more crisp though 🗣
Amazon Alexa is the best for home automation, it has the most skills,.
Also, Google can't add a device to more than 1 room or group; example: kitchen and family room are adjacent to each other and I want the lights in both room to turn
off if I say all, as well as independently turning off either room.
Alexa is inexpensive so I bought 8 to equip every room with Amazon Alexa for voice control so that I can just ask 'turn off the lights' and the echo in that room
knows to turn off those lights and not other lights in the house.
When it comes to price Google is the winner.... But Amazon Echo is a better but for the swirl motion feature... Nice work 👍
"Some people will not like the swivel feature"? He didn't figure out that you can turn it off?
Alexa Almost called my husbands colleague that’s also called John
can you turn the swivel off on the echo show 10?
Yes
Yes.
Yes
I got the Google because it was 70 bucks off.
Can i use google maps on amazon echo?
amazon echo auto is onsale in bestbuy now for cars
google: often dark screen when calling Duo or meet call
Alexa : ok
Alexa look and acts like a robot 😂
I would agree the google home app is clunky and frustrating. The interface lacks basic universal UX concepts
Duo is much better for video calling and also has the different note sending abilities. the max has that in it
Interesting. I do like Duo's quality, but getting it setup and working properly has been a bit of a challenge, even for me.
@@magerbo I don't have any problems with it. All you have to do is download it on your phone, verify your phone number, let it see your contacts and those who have Duo. You can send invites to those who don't have it with a link for them to download it if they want to.
Can you turn off the screen?
The show 10
In my opinion I will take the Lenovo smart display 10 any day over these two for the higher resolution screen!
Lenovo has done a really great job. We're hoping that more makers jump onboard and innovate. But we do like the swivel on the Echo Show 10 this year.
I have had a Lenovo Smart Display for several years, and worked great for awhile, now not so good-get echos, doesn't call, and messing up with commands. I recently purchased an Amazon Echo Show 10 to replace, but am having trouble setting up video calling. I like that it does Skype and Zoom! Not sure why I can't connect, but am considering if returning, for Google Next 10, but not sure. I don't like the Google Meet change, Duo worked great but not now as meet. Any suggestions?
I could not continue to watch this video because you had my Alexa and my Google chiming in every time you did a comparison but thanks for the video anyway maybe next time leave out their names
Great comparison! I have a hearing aids and Amazon sound better in music.
We were worried that audio comparison wouldn't come through clearly enough. Thanks for letting us know it worked!
@@getconnectednow No problem! 😃
Can’t finish watching cause you didn’t edit the wake words. Triggering all my devices 😂
He shouts Alexa and it looks at a wall 😂
💯 agree with you, I recently purchased both of them , not exact model I have show 8 and Google nest hub 2nd gen. Show 8 is better in every way and in Amazon device like show 8 I can type as well not in Google
Come on! It’s super annoying to have my devices waking up every single time you call the command
We'll carry a bigger stick next time for 'Alexa' violations.
I believe the echo 10 is much better. i have both of them
you can do much more online with echo show 10 and you can reply or comment on the echo and can't on the max
Most of our team would agree that the Echo Show 10 has a slight edge. The swivel makes it a cut above. The conversational ability of Alexa definitely makes it easy to interact with.
What do you mean by comment on the Echo?
Google does MUCH more
google is better at doing what you tell it,tell it to play music is easy,getting alexa to play music can be like watching paint dry.
Please don’t say Alexa or hey google.
Why
AMAZON ECHO HANDS DOWN
Until they started shoving sponsored adds down our throats. I got two back to back adds a few days ago.
Stop saying Hey Google and Alexa dude mute it
Ok final comment, I use google nest hub max for video calling without any problems. You really just need so more experience with google as obviously you’ve not learned enough and don’t really know how to operate it, so begs the question, why are you making videos on things you know nothing about?
We're always interested in feedback and we did ask specifically if anyone has run into a similar issue in Canada. It's great that you're not running into any issues with your Canadian account as not all Google services operate identically even across the US border. Some servcies like Google Voice and Google Fi aren't even available here for example. You seem knowledgable so what did we miss?
Lmao your a bozo
Mute your voice commands. Thumbs down
How about next time you make a video, you mute yourself saying “hey google”, or “Alexa” so you don’t trigger google or Amazon devices.
One of my echo shows almost made a call to my husbands work colleague called John. Now my husband thinks Alexa is spying on us 😂😂
😂😂😂😂😂😂 mine opened up stranger things
Had to give a thumbs down and stop watching for not editing out the wake words.
