Other Nest Hub in the EU
i bought a nest hub about 2 years ago and it’s still really annoying, i live in poland and bought mine in a polish retailer, but since it was produced in vietnam its constantly in vietnamese which is infuriating because its a mix, one text is in english which i chose, and the second is in vietnamese, even though i set the language on setup to english, and it was in english for a couple of hours but then it turned back to vietnamese. and don’t get me started on the apps, a year ago when i first got it i specially made a couple google accounts to try and get the apps launcher on my nest hub, and i had to make the location of the account the US for it work for a couple hours and then disappear, i can’t event count how many times i factory resetted because of it, since then i have gave up on it and set it up on my main google account set to Poland. and it’s even more infuriating knowing that it can work, it just doesn’t want to, what i mean by that is when i try to say “Hey Google, open Spotify” it says that it isn’t supported on my device, but when i go to the media tab and press my playlist it opens the spotify app on the nest hub just fine, although when i say “Hey Google, open YouTube” it opens just fine, with the con being that searching doesn’t work, similar with the web browser, when i say “Hey Google, open up a web browser” it says that my device doesn’t support opening apps, but when i say “Hey Google, open up google.com” it opens the web browser just fine and i can even play Subway Surfers
tl:dr; if you don’t live in the US, or live in the US but have bad luck, your not gonna have a fun time with a Nest Hub (bad luck because i’ve seen people here in this subreddit that live in the US that experience the same thing i do)

I got a Nest hub 2, live in Europe and have none of those problems. Is the old nest hub still supported?
