What Do They Look Like?
The Nest Hub sits on a broad, cylinder base with the smart screen attached to the top at an angle. The screen is larger than the base, so it’s not the sturdiest design and potentially could get knocked over. The Echo Show has a triangle, wedge shape with a wide base with an integrated angled screen and therefore sturdier.
The Nest Hub has more color options; it comes in aqua, sand, charcoal and chalk. The Echo Show 5 is only available in black and sandstone.

How Are the Voice Assistants Different?
What is the Biggest Difference Between the Two?
The most significant difference is that Google Nest Hub DOES NOT have a camera for video calling but it does have voice calling. You CAN watch your video doorbell camera and also the Google-owned YouTubeTV on screen, as well as display web pages. And, you can rotate your photos on the video display by linking it to your Google Photos account, so serves as a marvelous smart picture frame.
How Much Do They Cost?
The Google Nest Hub Max took the features of the Nest Hub, enlarged the screen and added a camera for two-way video calls. Not only that, the 127-degree wide-angle-lens smart camera is complete with face recognition and also recognize gestures like pausing and playing with the raise of your hand!
