Its motorized base turns the screen to follow you, which is what makes it good for video calls and recipes, and the camera has its own off switch. The Google Nest Hub (2nd Gen) is a compact 7-inch display in four colors with Google Assistant and no camera, a better fit for a nightstand or a privacy-minded bedroom and the right choice for a Google Home household. Both launched in 2021, have a motion sensor and a mic-off switch, act as Thread border routers and Matter bridges with partial Home Assistant support, and gate glass break and smoke alarm alerts behind a subscription. Choose the Amazon Echo Show 10 (3rd Gen) for an Alexa kitchen, and the Google Nest Hub (2nd Gen) for a Google bedroom or small counter.

What the differences mean

Assistant

The Amazon Echo Show 10 (3rd Gen) runs Alexa and the Google Nest Hub (2nd Gen) runs Google Assistant. Each works with its own ecosystem only, so the one that matches your other devices is usually the right one.

Camera

The Amazon Echo Show 10 (3rd Gen) has a camera on a base that turns to keep you in frame, plus an off switch. The Google Nest Hub (2nd Gen) has no camera, which is why many put it in a bedroom.

Screen and size

The Amazon Echo Show 10 (3rd Gen) has a 10.1-inch 1280 x 800 screen in a 2.56 kg body that needs room to swivel. The Google Nest Hub (2nd Gen) has a 7-inch 1024 x 600 screen and weighs 558g.

Zigbee

The Amazon Echo Show 10 (3rd Gen) is a Zigbee coordinator; the Google Nest Hub (2nd Gen) is not. Both are Thread border routers and Matter bridges.

Which one to buy if

What owners say

Owners of both displays praise an easy setup and use them to check security cameras, follow recipes and play music, with sound that pleases both groups. Amazon Echo Show 10 (3rd Gen) owners call the rotating screen close to magical for video calls and moving around the kitchen, and see a big jump over the previous generation in camera, screen and speed, while they complain about the price, on-screen ads and the space it needs to swivel. Google Nest Hub (2nd Gen) owners use it as a Google Photos frame and a bedside alarm clock as much as a controller, and report units still running after three years, but they find it offers less control than the Google Home app, cannot be customized much and handles only major languages well.
