- It might materialize at an occasion in a couple of months
The August 20, 2025, Made by Google occasion gave us loads of new {hardware} to feast on – together with (after all) the brand new Google Pixel 10, 10 Professional, and 10 Professional Fold Android smartphones. However in a fast (not-quite-blink-and-you ’ll-miss-it) section, we caught a glimpse of an unannounced Google sensible speaker.
The showcase was filled with cameos, and in a single such star-studded showcase, we noticed Formulation One driver Lando Norris and NBA participant Giannis Antetokounmpo commerce locations – and use Gemini’s recommendation to higher sort out the opposite’s sport.
Pixel 10 telephones made an look, and Norris additionally used a brand new mini speaker with Gemini.
As you may see within the picture above, the gadget isn’t like something Google presently makes – our Audio Editor Becky Scarrott described its look as “like a HomePod mini in a Google costume however with an Echo Dot ring across the backside,” which completely sums it up.
It additionally appears to own Google Gemini’s reasoning powers based mostly on the way it was used, suggesting it would launch as a part of the Gemini for House improve Google has promised.
Whereas the Gemini improve can be promised for current sensible audio system and shows, it actually is smart that Google would wish to improve its lineup with some new {hardware}.
We haven’t had new {hardware} because the Google Nest Hub (2nd technology) in 2021, and earlier than that, the final Nest speaker we received was the Google Nest Audio, which simply squeezes into our greatest sensible audio system checklist (however largely as a result of it’s the very best for Google).
So we’re lengthy overdue for an improve, and it appears Google is all set to ship one within the not-too-distant future.
Almost definitely we’ll see one thing “within the fall” (so September by to November) as that’s when Google has promised a serious replace, which also needs to clear up the numerous complaints Nest customers have about their units.
