Google Home Max vs Home Speaker

The Google Home Max is a few generations behind the Google Home Speaker. As a result, it lacks some of the Home Speaker's features, like Wi-Fi 6 and advanced Gemini integration for pairing with devices like Nest Cams. The Home Max is also a lot larger and substantially heavier, meaning it can be trickier to fit into a cluttered living room. Still, the trade-off here is that it can get a bit louder and comes with a room correction feature to adapt the sound to your space. That said, the Home Speaker offers better directivity, thanks to its 360-degree design, and its built-in mic does a better job of picking up your voice commands.
