Back in August of last year, during the introduction of the Pixel 10 family<\/a>, Google also teased an upcoming smart speaker<\/a>. Then, it announced it as the Google Home Speaker<\/a> in October. Now it’s finally becoming available, ten months after the first teaser and eight months after the unveiling.<\/p>\n

The Google Home Speaker will be out on June 25 for $99.99, in four colors: Jade, Berry, Porcelain, and Hazel. Jade and Berry are “US-exclusive colors” for some reason. You can already pre-order one<\/a> from the Google Store.<\/p>\n

The Google Home Speaker is powered by an unspecified quad-core CPU using Cortex-A55 cores, paired with 1GB of RAM and 4GB of storage. It has a 58mm full-range driver which delivers “omni-directional sound”, three far-field mics, and a hardware mic mute switch. It connects via Wi-Fi 6 and Bluetooth 5.4 and can also act as a Thread 1.3 border router. You can pair up to two speakers with a Google TV Streamer<\/a> “to turn your living room into a mini home theater with spatial surround sound”, Google says.<\/p>\n

Of course, the Home Speaker comes with Gemini built-in, featuring ten new natural sounding voices. There’s Gemini Live on offer too, which lets you have “natural, free-flowing chats”. You can also have Gemini describe current or recent activity captured on your Nest cameras, and ask it for a summary of what happened around the house while you were out.<\/p>\n
