Google Store lists unannounced ‘Nest Hub Max’ 10-inch smart display
[ad_1] It seems weird that Google would reuse the Max branding from its premium speaker for a Nest device, but now that we’ve heard “Stadia” it’s hard to put anything past them. 9to5Google previously found clues of a “Sherlock” device that matches up well with its capabilities, so it could be close to release, even […]
