Google teases its new Gemini-Interested Google Home speaker, which is coming in spring 2026

On Wednesday, Google made an early preview of its next flagship smart home device, AI-operated Google Home speaker, which is launched in spring 2026. The device priced at $ 99 will be built around the company’s AI assistant Mithun AI and will come in four colors: Porcelain, Hazel, Berry and Z.

Some of the delay time of launch is a deliberate option from Google, Aneesh Kattukaran explained the Chief Product Officer of Google Home and Nest in a press briefing before Wednesday’s program.

The company first wants to ensure that the new Gemini functionality reaches its other Google Home customers on old equipment and gives them time to exclude the kink. They say that they will be able to try the current customer Gemini at an early access, provide reactions, and report bugs, they say.

“It has been found for existing users to work. We don’t want you to buy a new until you don’t want,” Kattukaran said. “And by the way, we think you want, but you don’t need it,” he said.

Being produced for Gemini means that the new speaker will have a processor that will be able to handle Mithun AI, which will also handle things like background noise, revarb (eco effects), and eco cancellation. In this way, the speaker (in principle) will not be confused if you are talking to Mithun Live and someone else starts speaking in the room.

The new device will also have a light ring below it, which Gemini is doing, such as hearing, thinking, logic, or Gemini will provide more expressive, visual reaction to respond in live mode. (Mithun Live will require Google Home Premium Membership.)

In terms of its speaker capabilities, Google Home device will provide the 360-degree audio and device the ability to add to the speaker groups-a collection of many speakers who play audio together-in the Google Home app, in the first, as before. Users will now be able to connect two Google home speakers with Google’s streaming devices for Google TV streammer-TVS-for a surround-shil-style setup, for a long————ea requests that its users have long requested.

The device is covered with a 3D-woled material that is asked to reduce cloth waste and be more environmentally friendly.

Google plans to launch new devices in the United States, Canada, UK, Ireland, France, Germany, Spain, Italy, Netherlands, Denmark, Norway, Sweden, Finland, Belgian, Switzerland, Austria, Japan, Australia and New Zealand.
