Just got an email for a coupon for this, original price $229 but down to $99.

Seems to be a pretty well reviewed smart display.

Email said coupon codes are "unique" but hardly ever the case.

Mine ends in 0491, anyone else let me know if yours does too and I'll update. Coupon is not unique, thanks r0xz!

Barcode image for in-store. Thanks Clear!

As noted by Tuttle below, looks like web pages won't display on this device anymore. Something to take note of if you're thinking of purchasing

Please note
Limit 1 per customer

      Yeah, I have this one and Nest Hub v2. This one has a better sound.

        how good is the voice detetection? I had sony google smart speaker, really good sound but can't even understand who is speaking. Sometimes when my wife ask where is her phone my phone will ring because it can't even understand that part

          Voice detection is quite good, I have a couple of Google devices. This one detects it fast and give informations right away compared to the LG Google speaker that I have

    • taki on 05/09/2022 - 13:32

      & much more intelligent than Apple HomePods :)

    Going by the fact this is 4 years old and JBL no longer sell it I'm going to guess this is EOL.

    Not sure how much there is to worry about with software updates, this is going to be music + recipes and not something you do your banking on, but I wouldn't expect any support from here on out.

    But considering it compares to the much more expensive Nest Hub Max and not the standard Hub, I'm going to take a gamble on it.

    • mathew42 on 05/09/2022 - 11:45

      The concern with end of life (EOL) would be that Google changes the back-end protocol or authentication for a service and it simply stops working.

    • Bruceflix on 05/09/2022 - 11:58

      was about to order until your comment. thanks for the heads up

      Correct, this is EOL and has not received any updates in more than a year.

      I have one and its a decent device but Android Things has been discontinued, and Google has moved its own displays to Fuchsia, while leaving Lenovo, JBL etc behind.

      • Franc-T on 07/09/2022 - 14:34

        Thats -mostly- but not completely correct, 2/3 of the devices have been updated - the second gen nest havent been as yet.

        https://arstechnica.com/gadgets/2022/08/googles-fuchsia-os-l…

        Theres no real difference in operability, but I fully expect non-google devices to loose some functionality eventually, or at least not get new features.

        Would be nice if the sound is better than my nest max tho.

        • adrianhughes1998 on 07/09/2022 - 15:56

          App drawer and a few other things don't make it over for sure. The firmware version stays the same. Things like the date showing on the display or whatever the change was a few months ago, was server side so that made it over at least.

    • DonWilson on 05/09/2022 - 12:43

      Yeah, it's OS is "Android Things" which began shutting down early 2021 and was totally shuttered by Jan 2022.

      Even more intelligent than Apple, you can now have more functions.

    $99 is about the ceiling of what this thing is worth if you are going to be mass selling them. You shouldn't buy simply because of the savings off the rrp.

    • gakko on 05/09/2022 - 11:52

      who actually uses this stuff anyway. Phone + a portable speaker is so much more versatile and easy to use.

      • Irrelevancy on 05/09/2022 - 12:10
        +14

        I have one in the kitchen. Useful for quick recipe checks and playing some background music without needing to carry my phone around.

      • Nos 4r2 on 05/09/2022 - 12:12
        +3

        Its a smart clock/picture frame, that can also play music/music videos. If you buy if for those reasons in that order its great, if the other way around there are better options. The nest hub is one of the most used devices in my home tbh, mostly to settle arguments.

        • marcozmitch on 05/09/2022 - 12:36

          The Lenovo version has a 10 " screen vs this 8 " so as they say, it depends if you want sound or inches? (of display).
          This has better sound and is not as pretty.

        I use mine for things my Bluetooth speakers can't generally do: Home automation control, set cooking timers while your hands are filthy, broadcast messages to other rooms or video call to other house members, help kids with homework, do quizzes, show me the weather and my upcoming tasks, add things to my shopping list. And more I've probably forgotten

      • rodericb on 05/09/2022 - 15:06

        I have one in my garage. It has pretty good sound. It's good for playing music on YouTube.

        This EOL stuff does suck. Google, Sonos, Logitech yeah just brick the stuff so it can no longer be used….

      • Franc-T on 07/09/2022 - 15:14

        I have like 8 hubs in the house (only one max though). It shows the doorbell cameras, you can broadcast from one side of the house to another (or in the shed), turn off the smart lights as well as put videos or music among other things.

  • Phoebus on 05/09/2022 - 12:06

    If you just want a speaker for your phone then the new Echo when on sale is about $70 and sounds pretty good. I only use it to connect my phone.

  • atlas on 05/09/2022 - 12:07

    Can it be used as part of multiroom audio?

    • markdownhunter on 05/09/2022 - 12:10

      with other Google smart speakers yes

  • tanksinatra on 05/09/2022 - 12:09

    I've been using one for a few years and $100 is probably about what it's worth

    • haz on 05/09/2022 - 13:52

      • tanksinatra on 05/09/2022 - 14:03

        No real functionality outside of playing Spotify and being an alarm clock. And it doesn't have full Spotify either, it all has to be controlled verbally or casted from your phone. Kinda frustrating given it totally has the screen size to run the app.

        It's basically a bluetooth speaker than can display what music it's playing.

  • harshlaughter on 05/09/2022 - 12:10

    For anyone who has this, can you link it to Google photos and use it as a digital photo frame like the nest hub does?

    can this be used as a general Bluetooth speaker just to play music? how is the sound?

    • bargainshooter on 05/09/2022 - 12:21

      yes and sound is subjectively very good

    • freefall101 on 05/09/2022 - 12:28

      If you're never going to use the screen you can do much better from wired bluetooth speakers (or even wireless and get the benefit of that). Like this deal going on at the moment - https://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/722944 or the ikea eneby speakers.

    Bit late to comment but this is a great speaker/timer/recipe book, it can play YouTube and the sound quality that it produces for its size would have been considered unbelievable 6/7 years ago. They were in the Telstra shop for $349. A few months ago,,But that’s obviously a silly price
