As streaming video services have become more than common and are used by practically everyone, the smart devices with a screen available in the market have the possibility of expand its functionalities in order to reach a greater number of potential clients.
The last to take advantage of it has been Google, who has just announced through its blog the integration of the streaming video service Disney + in the Google Nest Hub, the device with a Google screen that is priced 89,99 euros in the official Google store and that follows in the footsteps of Netflix.
For several weeks Netflix allows us to enjoy its entire catalog directly from the Nest Hub from Google and in the coming weeks it will be Disney + who will launch its corresponding application so that users of this device can also consume content from the entertainment giant's platform.
In addition to launching an app for the Google Nest Hub, Disney + will integrate with the Google Assistant to be able to play any content available on the platform on our television with Chromecast. This will allow us to say “Ok. Google, play The Mandalorian on Disney + »to automatically turn on the television (if not already on) and start playing the most popular Disney + series today.
What is the Google Nest Hub
The Google Nest Hub has a 7 inch, incorporates two long-range microphones on the top and an ambient light sensor to adapt the brightness of the screen. At the rear is the device's speaker, it is 118mm high, 178,5mm wide and 67,3mm thick.
It is available in Chalk and Charcoal color, the screen is touch, incorporates bluetooth 5.0 and is compatible with 2,4 and 5 GHz networks. This device connects to the electrical network through a 15W adapter.
A quite interesting alternative to the one offered by Google, especially if most of our ecosystem is managed by Amazon is the Amazon Echo Show 8, whose price is 89,99 euros and offers us practically the same benefits that we can find in Google's Nest Hub.
If the eight inches of the Echo Show they are too small for us, we also have the 2nd Gen Echo Show, a device with a 10-inch screen, although its price exceeds 200 euros.
