All of these devices are battling to be the one you choose for your home where it can listen, learn, become essential and make them money monetizing the data. That's why they're all being almost given away. The only reason they aren't free is because we'd all get suspicious - a bit like with Facebook where it's free because you're the product and making them money.Don DiGuapo wrote: ↑ Surprising to see such a deep price cut on this, was just recently released iirc.

Do you have any details around the fact that they're running different software? thought google had it so that these assistant devices could be updated by google instead of the manufacturer ? I was hoping they fixed the same issue with android phones.BinaryJay wrote: ↑ Yeah you can reasonably expect that support for the Home Hub to be better for a longer period of time. Lenovo will probably just drop updating this thing in any meaningful way as soon as it's no longer profitable (they've probably already reached this point it seems). It's too bad that they all don't just run the exact same software, that would just make too much sense.

Otherwise, it's an awesome unit. Have it displaying pictures from my phone when it's not in use.
Did you have it replaced or tried different plugin? I have the same noise issue with mine.

I quite like my Echo Show. I wish it were bilingual, but that’s pretty well the only complaint. People in reviews claimed so my limitations with the Canadian version but most have turned out to not be the case.
Still, the Google powered smart screen is appealing if Google’s privacy methods don’t bother you.

My only complaint, and my biggest one are the video features. I use a lot of Prime Video and trying to navigate Prime Video within the Echo Show is almost impossible.pmcd wrote: ↑ I quite like my Echo Show.

Can anyone confirm if you can view all of your nest cameras at the same time on the screen or is it restricted to only viewing one feed at a time?
