hi everyone Aaron here for ZolloTech and this is the Google home hub this is
sort of a visual representation of the Google home speakers we've had for the
past couple of years it comes in at 149 but you'll probably be able to find it
on sale at many places this holiday and also comes with six months of YouTube
premium on the side of the box you can see it goes over a little bit of what it
can do and then on the back of the box again you've got more information now on
the other side we have some more information regarding the specs or the
size of the display and what's included so let's take a look ourselvs inside the
box so let's open this up take the wrapper off here open the box and it is
pretty small it looks like a little Nexus tablet on the front let's take a
little closer look at what's in the box
so we have our wall plug this looks really familiar kind of like a nest or
other google accessories you might have we have let's get started little safety
and warranty information along with a little let's get started guide saying
plug it in get the app and let's set it up and nothing else is in the box now on
the back you can see there's a volume rocker on the Left there's a mute switch
on the top and your plug on the bottom this also comes in four different colors
this is chalk but it comes in charcoal aqua and sand as well on the bottom
there's an orange rubberized foot to keep it in place on the front we have
our seven inch touchscreen display along with a light sensor in the middle and
two far-field microphones on either side to pick up our voice now before I plug
it in you may have noticed that this is a proprietary connector unfortunately so
it's no USBC or anything but most of the time this is going to be stationary so
you shouldn't have to unplug it and plug it in regularly so plug it in
welcome to Google home to get started download the Google home app on a phone
or tablet so here's the home app on my iPhone let's go ahead and hit add then
we'll set up a device set up a new device and hit next and it will look for
devices that are trying to be added around my house so we'll wait for this
to finish here it sees the Google home hub and we'll hit next so this should
connect to my Google home hub and then set it up on my account well tap finish
setup this is the default display of the Google home hub it's a digital photo
frame when you're not using it you can change this to art based off what Google
finds or use your own photos within Google photos if you want to see the
next one just swipe if we swipe from this outside
edge in we've got a clock if we tap on the display it brings us back tap again
and it brings us to our home screen showing us the weather and what we've
done more recently now you see you can not only play google play music you can
use it for YouTube we'll check that out in a moment and you can also find
recipes or anything that Google home or Google assistant will allow you to find
so let's try and find a recipe for pizza hey Google find good recipes for pizza
so you'll see it gives us a bunch of different ones let's tap on this one and
it says quick and easy gives information about it the ingredients we need we can
tap on to start cooking and it gives us more information and step-by-step as
we're going along so it's pretty nice that way we can go back by swiping and
it's pretty simple now one of the reasons I bought this is if we pull down
from the top we can control our lights so if we tap on the lights here we've
got our office lights and you can see the brightness but I can also turn them
off just like that we'll turn them back on and everything
comes back up we can change the color or change the light panels everything like
that it's really nice in a simple way to control your home now if we want to find
YouTube videos we can do that as well hey Google find the video by Zolo tech
called iPhone 10s and iPhone 10s max the good and the bad so this is my video you
see it brought that up if we tap on it we can play the video and we can go back
to the beginning gives all that information and why don't you take a
listen to the speakers and see what you think and I've been using the iPhone 10s
and 10's max since they came out and I've been using them all day long every
single day and I've come up with some good things and some bad things so of
course you can use YouTube on here you have YouTube premium for six months like
I mentioned before and it's just a simple way to visualize what you could
do with Google assistant on your phone but on the larger display or on your
Google home so that's really it it's basically just that and a nice photo
frame when it's not doing anything and a good way to control everything and
that's it let me know what you think about it though in the comments below if
you're planning to pick one up or if it's something you already have I'd love
to hear what you have to say about it if you haven't subscribed already please
subscribe and like as always thanks for watching this is Aaron I'll see you next
time
