In theory, Google using Nest for smart home products and Pixel for phones, tablets, etc. makes sense. It&#8217;s simple and easy to remember. However, if that is the end goal, it&#8217;s going to require a bit of work for us to get there.<\/p>\n<p>Even if the Home Hub is rebranded as the Nest Hub, there&#8217;s still the Google Home, Home Mini, and Home Max to deal with &mdash; not to mention the Chromecast. Will we see similar rebrands for those, or maybe their next hardware refresh will also come with a new name?<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s unclear what the long-term plan is here, but at least for the Home Hub, we can probably expect its rebrand to the Nest Hub to be officially announced on May 7 at Google I\/O&#8217;s opening keynote along with the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.androidcentral.com\/google-pixel-3a\">Pixel 3a<\/a> unveiling.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.androidcentral.com\/google-home-hub-review\" title=\"\" class=\"cta large\">Google Home Hub Review: Little, fierce, and nearly perfect<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/feeds.feedburner.com\/~r\/androidcentral\/~4\/talvkECpumE\" height=\"1\" width=\"1\" alt=\"\"\/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>And people wonder why Google&#8217;s brand identity gets made fun of.<\/p>\n<p>Back in October, Google released the Home Hub &mdash; an excellent little smart display with a fantastic design, gorgeous display, and solid price tag.
