TL;DR Code inside the Google Home app for iOS references a possible new device called “Google Home Display.”
The branding is notable because Google has already shown it’s moving away from the Nest name for upcoming smart home hardware.
While nothing is confirmed yet, this could be our first hint about Google’s plans for a Nest Hub successor.
Google may finally be preparing a new smart display, and this time it could arrive with a very different name.
Frequent app sleuth @aaronp613 from MacRumors spotted references to something called the “Google Home Display” hidden inside the code of the Google Home app for iOS. While that’s all that Aaron found, the name itself is very interesting.

Instead of using the long-running Nest name, Google appears to be leaning into “Google Home” branding once again. The company’s upcoming smart speaker also moved away from the Nest name, adopting the “Google Home Speaker” moniker instead. So a “Google Home Display” branding strongly suggests this is a new Nest Hub successor.
