It’s almost if it was released by a completely different company from completely different people.
The nest hub can be used by multiple users at the same time. The pixel tablet can only be used in an household with a single resident, maybe with the occasional visitor, but definitely not a family.
They should have done it properly, for the price they’re selling the dock, it should have been independently working, with a charging cradle
You can have multiple users on the Pixel Tablet. Google made a whole new UI for user profiles specifically for the tablet. Each user gets their own customization and apps. Sure it’s not a nest hub, but it’s not meant to be?
But while on the nest hub it’s completely frictionless, here you need to change user on the touchscreen before speaking, which makes it completely pointless because in that time you could do the action manually.
Example turn off a light. You speak the order and it “doesn’t understand” because it’s on the kid profile. So you go over there, change profile, speak again, wait for the response… In the same time you could have done that action manually much more faster
Yes agreed. The Nest hub, and the rest of the stuff in our network right now, knows who is talking to it. I’d not upgrade or side-grade yet just to get something I can take off the dock.
