Black Friday deals are here, and right now you can pick up the second-generation Google Nest Hub 7" for half the usual price. It's currently $49.99 (down from $99.99) at Best Buy, Walmart, and Target. This is the lowest price it's hit in the last four months, according to Honey's price history.

The Google Nest Hub is the perfect bedside companion

The second generation of the Google Nest Hub 7" was released in 2021 and is the latest version of the device. One of its biggest changes from the previous version is its ability to track your sleep. A built-in Google Soli motion-sensing chip is able to track your sleeping and breathing when it's placed on a nightstand next to you (although if you sleep with someone else, there is no way for the Nest Hub to distinguish who is moving, coughing, or having bad sleep). It also has 50% more bass for better audio, a feature that lets you pause or play your content by waving your hand, and a machine-learning chip that learns your common commands so it can handle them more efficiently. One of the biggest omissions is a camera; other smart screen companions like Amazon’s Echo Show do have them, so you can video chat with your contacts.

If you do want a Google Assistant companion with a screen that has a camera, Google launched the Nest Hub Max in 2019, and it’s currently $129.99 (originally $229.99) at Best Buy. It doesn’t have as good of a display, and the sound quality won’t be as good, but it does have a bigger screen with a camera, so you’ll be able to take video calls while your hands are busy.
