Six-Year Wait, Modest Upgrade: Google's Home Speaker Falls Short

After waiting six years for a Google-made smart speaker, the Home Speaker is compact, loud, and sports Gemini with Thread/Matter support, but it isn’t a meaningful upgrade over the Nest Audio. It also suffers from an integrated power cable, audio downgrades versus the Nest Audio, and Gemini features that can be gated behind a Premium subscription, leaving it as a solid option mainly for existing Google Home users rather than a must-have upgrade amid strong competition from Amazon and Apple.

Google’s Gemini-powered Home Speaker returns, shipping next week

Google is shipping its first new smart speaker in six years, the Google Home Speaker built for Gemini for Home, with preorders starting June 17 and shipping June 25. Hardware is unchanged from the $99 model, available in porcelain, hazel, jade, and berry (the last two US-exclusive). It offers 360-degree sound, stereo pairing, and spatial audio when used with a Google TV Streamer, and acts as a Matter controller and Thread border router (Thread 1.3 at launch). Gemini for Home aims for a more natural conversation, with six months of Google Home Premium included.

Google Home Speaker leak hints June 2026 debut, but date may be a retailer slip

Best Buy Canada briefly listed a June 25, 2026 release date for Google's anticipated Home Speaker (CAD $139) with Hazel and Porcelain colors, a page that has since been removed. The leak comes after Google’s Gemini for Home was introduced as the AI backbone, but there was no official confirmation or US listing of a date. I/O 2026 passed without a Google Home reveal, so the date may simply be a retailer slip rather than an official launch window, leaving the Summer as a possible timeline but not guaranteed.
