Google really needs to launch a new Nest Hub Max, and it might just happen

We all thought the Nest Hub Max was dead after the Pixel Tablet released, but I'm glad it isn't.

The release of the Pixel Tablet, which includes a speaker dock and has smart display functionality, was expected to doom the Nest Hub lineup's future. The report says that the unknown device is clearly listed as a Nest Hub Max in code for the Google Home app, leaving little room for different interpretations. Additionally, the Pixel Tablet doesn't include a Thread radio, so you can forget setting up your Nest Audio hardware as the device's default speaker outputs.
