The Amazon Echo Show was the first major smart display. Google initially threw its hat into the ring by announcing four third party competitors equipped with Google Assistant at CES. Since then, the Lenovo Smart Display and the JBL Link View have hit the market, and both are good devices and marked improvements over the Echo Show.

Even as those devices rolled out, we heard rumors that Google was working on a smart display under the company's own brand, so this leak makes sense. The timing also works, as Google's upcoming event on October 9th would be the perfect place to announce a Google Home Hub.
