Amazon Echo Show 15 vs Google Nest Hub Max: Which Smart Display Wins?

You're choosing between two very different approaches to the smart display. Amazon's Echo Show 15 goes big with a 15.6-inch wall-mounted screen designed to be your family's command center. Google's Nest Hub Max takes a more traditional countertop approach with a 10-inch display and a motion-tracking camera. Both cost around $230, but they solve different problems.

The Echo Show 15 wins this comparison with an 8.9/10 rating versus the Nest Hub Max's 8.5/10. According to multiple reviewers, Amazon's larger display and Fire TV integration make it the more versatile choice for families who want a central hub for schedules, streaming, and smart home control. The Nest Hub Max offers better audio and a smarter camera, but it can't match the Echo Show 15's screen real estate and flexibility.

Here's how they stack up across design, performance, smart home capabilities, and value.
