Rumours of Google’s take on the Echo Show surfaced when a recent FCC filing suggested the existence of an “Interactive Video Streaming Device.” It’s being called the Home Hub and a leak from YouTuber Jon Prosser suggests the Home Hub will be launching alongside the Pixel 3 and the other hardware coming out on October 9th. The photo he showed gave some more details about what the Home Hub can do. These include the basic functions of the Google Home speaker, plus it will support Voice Match, which lets it recognize different people’s voices and pull up specific information for said person. The Home Hub has a display to display information the user needs and can bring up relevant YouTube videos on it, too. If there’s any truth to the leak, it looks like the Home Hub will come out as early as October 22nd.
