Google unveils new devices including Google Nest Hub and a cheaper version of their Pixel smartphone.

Google has unveiled some new devices.

The first are two new smart-screen home devices called the Google Nest Hub and the Nest Hub Max.

The larger Nest Hub Max has a camera that can double as a Nest security system and features video chatting capabilities. It also uses facial detection to determine when a specific person is walking by so it can show them customized content.

Google also released a new, less expensive version of the Pixel smartphone.

The new phone costs just half of its original price at $399.

Several carriers are expected to sell the new phone including Sprint, T-Mobile and U.S. Cellular.
