These days, smart displays are becoming more popular than actual smart speakers. This is because you can do a lot more with a smart display than a smart speaker. Primarily because it has a display, giving Amazon Alexa or Google Assistant a nice visual aspect. For example, you can ask for the weather and actually see the weather, instead of just hearing about it.
\nCurrently, smart displays are mostly a first-party thing. While Lenovo and JBL have both made smart displays in the past for Google Assistant, the majority are made by Google (and Amazon for Alexa). There are plenty of great smart displays out there though, and we\u2019re going to round up the very best smart displays in this post.
\nTop 10 Best Smart Displays
\nSmart Displays are pretty awesome to use, as they can double as a secondary screen for watching content, as well as functioning as a photo frame. Not to mention the fact that they can also be used for Google Assistant or Amazon Alexa to do different things. But perhaps the best part is, using it as a hub for your smart home products.
\nHere, we have rounded up the very best smart displays on the market today. So without further ado, here are the top 10 best smart displays. You\u2019ll notice that Facebook Portal is not on this list, and that is because we don\u2019t feel we can ethically add it to this list. You\u2019ll also notice that we have never covered anything about the Facebook Portal for this reason.

\nGoogle Nest Hub (2nd Gen)<\/p>\n

Price: $99
\nWhere to buy: Best Buy
\nGoogle just debuted the new Nest Hub in March 2021, it comes in at the same price, and offers some pretty cool new features. Like the ability to actually sense when you\u2019re sleeping. It can actually track your sleep, which might sound a bit surprising, but definitely cool.
\nGoogle also added Motion Sense to the Nest Hub, which appears to work a lot better than it did on the Pixel 4 series when that launched in 2019.
\nOtherwise, it still has a seven inch display, and a physical switch to turn off the microphone. Still no camera in this one, which is why it is so cheap. Google does offer the Nest Hub in a variety of colors too. Including Chalk, Charcoal, Mist and Sand. It\u2019s currently available for pre-order.

\nGoogle Nest Hub Max<\/p>\n

Price: $229
\nWhere to buy: Best Buy
\nThe Nest Hub Max is larger than the Nest Hub, hence the name. This one sports a 10.1-inch display, and also has a Nest Cam in the bezel. This camera can be used to keep an eye on your home when you\u2019re not at home. It\u2019s also used for video calling.
\nWith the Nest Hub Max, you can use your smart home products on this display, including seeing who\u2019s at the door, with your Nest Hello video doorbell. Or controlling your smart lights with your voice, or just using the display. Since there is a central hub available for controlling your home. It also can play all of your favorite music from YouTube Music among other services.

\nAmazon Echo Show 10<\/p>\n

Price: $249
\nWhere to buy: Amazon
\nThe Amazon Echo Show 10 is a redesigned Echo Show, with a display that will now follow you around the room. This is useful for a few reasons. It\u2019s great for video calls, as you\u2019re able to stay in the frame all the time. But it\u2019s also good for seeing what\u2019s happening when you\u2019re not home. Much like the Nest Hub Max, this camera can be used for security too.
\nThe Echo Show 10 does have a really good speaker in it, and allows you to watch content from Amazon Prime Video, Netflix and other providers. As well as allowing you to watch what\u2019s happening on your Ring Video Doorbell.

\nAmazon Echo Show 8<\/p>\n

Price: $99
\nWhere to buy: Amazon
\nWith the Echo Show 8, you have the ability to use Alexa just like you would on a smart speaker. But since it has a display, you get some added visuals with it. This includes being able to actually see the weather when you ask about the weather. You can also do video calls, in addition to voice calls. Since, well it has a screen.
\nThe Echo Show 8 can also bring up the security camera feeds from outside your home, or the video doorbell. Which is a really cool feature to have available.
\nAmazon Echo Show 8 – Amazon
\nAmazon Echo Show 5<\/p>\n

Price: $89
\nWhere to buy: Amazon
\nThe Amazon Echo Show 5 can do pretty much everything that the Echo Show 8 can do, but in a smaller size. The Echo Show 5 is great to put in the kitchen or even in a bedroom on a nightstand in your room.
\nThe display on the Echo Show 5 is a bit wider than the other Echo Show devices, which means it can show more content in-line versus the 8 or 10-inch models.

\nLenovo Smart Clock Essential<\/p>\n

Price: $49
\nWhere to buy: Best Buy
\nThe Lenovo Smart Clock Essential is actually smaller then the Echo Show 5, with a 4-inch display. But it also doesn\u2019t have a full color display. It\u2019s basically an LED clock with Google Assistant built-in. Which is really neat actually.
\nYou can still listen to music on the Lenovo Smart Clock Essential and do all sorts of things with Google Assistant, but this is almost a non-display version of a smart display. Since you can\u2019t watch your cameras on here, nor can you watch YouTube on it.

\nLenovo Smart Display 7<\/p>\n

Price: $99
\nWhere to buy: Best Buy
\nThis is another smart display from Lenovo which does look a lot like the first Echo Show ever made. It has the display at the top and a pretty beefy speaker at the bottom. This allows for some good sounding audio out of this speaker, and it actually fires at you, unlike the previous Lenovo smart displays.
\nIt\u2019s a 7-inch display, so this is mostly just a tall smart display, and not very large. But you can still do everything you\u2019d expect on a Google Assistant smart display. That includes watching Netflix, seeing your Nest Cam security cameras, and so much more. You can check out all the commands you can use for Google Assistant here.
