Google Nest Hub Max 3 smart display with 10-inch screen and Matter support priced $249.99, US ship May 28, 2026
Google announced the Nest Hub Max 3 smart display with a 10-inch screen and Matter support, priced at $249.99, with U.S. shipping starting May 28, 2026. The device features a high-definition touchscreen, built-in Nest Cam, and Google Assistant integration to enhance home monitoring and smart home control, according to company officials.
The display incorporates Ambient EQ technology, which automatically adjusts the color temperature and brightness to match the lighting conditions of the room, officials said. The device includes stereo speakers composed of two 0.7-inch tweeters and a 3-inch woofer, designed to deliver premium sound for music, videos, and video calls.
The Nest Hub Max 3 features a 10-inch high-definition touchscreen with a resolution of 1280 by 800 pixels and a 16:10 aspect ratio, according to Google product specifications.
Equipped with a built-in Nest Cam, the Nest Hub Max 3 supports video calls through Google Duo and offers home monitoring capabilities. The camera includes face match and autoframing features to optimize multi-user experiences, sources confirmed. The device functions as a smart home hub, integrating with various smart devices to reduce clutter, and supports Google Assistant for tasks such as managing calendars, checking commutes, viewing Google Photos, streaming YouTube content, and playing music from services like YouTube Music and Spotify.
The new model is priced at $249.99, as announced by Google, with U.S. shipping scheduled to begin May 28, 2026. This pricing represents an increase over the current Nest Hub Max, which retails for $229 on the Google Store and is frequently available at discounted prices below that amount, according to market data and reviews from 2024 and 2025. Retailers including Best Buy, Walmart, and Home Depot currently stock the Nest Hub Max in Charcoal and Chalk colors, though none have publicly listed the $249.99 price or confirmed the May 2026 shipping date. Google’s official listings do not yet mention Matter support or confirm the new model’s release, according to searches of company announcements and retail records.
First introduced in September 2019, the original Nest Hub Max has remained Google’s premium smart display option through 2025, according to product reviews and industry analyses. The device is positioned for use in kitchens, living rooms, or home offices as a central display and smart home controller. It competes with similar devices such as Amazon’s Echo Show 15, which features a larger 15.6-inch screen, though the Nest Hub Max is noted for its integration within the Google ecosystem.
The Nest Hub Max’s 10-inch screen is designed to provide sharp visuals for photos and user interface navigation, visible from several feet away, sources said. It supports streaming of video content from platforms including YouTube, Netflix, and Disney+, as well as displaying Google Photos with automatic matching of over 16 million light and color combinations. The device’s battery-free design incorporates Nest Cam technology for security and monitoring.
While the smaller Nest Hub model features a 7-inch screen and is priced between $99.99 and $100 as of 2024, the Nest Hub Max offers enhanced functionality through its larger screen and integrated camera. Google Assistant integration enables voice commands for managing daily schedules, commutes, and multimedia. The device also supports customizable widgets similar to those found on competing smart displays.
Despite the announcement of the Nest Hub Max 3, official Google sources have not yet updated product listings to reflect Matter support, a smart home standard designed to improve device interoperability. Market availability for the new model remains limited to the announced May 2026 shipping date in the U.S., with no confirmed international release plans at this time.
