Good news, Gemini fans: Google's chatbot is fully integrated into its newest smart speaker, known as the Google Home Speaker, and it's almost here: You can preorder it today for $99.99, and it will officially launch on Thursday, June 25 If you were thinking of picking up an Amazon speaker with Alexa+ this Prime Day, Google may have just given you something to think about.
As such, much of Google's advertising for its new speaker focuses on its Gemini-centered capabilities, which are quite advanced compared to the company's past digital assistant. The core benefit is the generative AI's contextual awareness: You can ask Gemini questions with logic (e.g. "Turn off all the lights except for the lamp on my nightstand"), string together multiple requests at once ("Dim the living room lights, play a jazz station, and set a timer for 15 minutes"), and make corrections to things you just said ("Turn off the lights in the kitchen; oops, I mean turn them on.")
Google Home Speaker audio and design
According to Google's tech specs, this new speaker comes with a 58mm full-range driver with "omni-directional sound." In other words, it has "balanced, 360º audio" that plays in every direction. Like other small smart speakers, the idea is to deliver a good sound experience wherever you place the speaker in your room. And, like Amazon's Echoes and Apple's HomePod minis, you can now pair two Google Home Speakers together—the speakers can route through Google TV Streamer for surround-sound audio, but can also connect to Home and Nest speakers so you can play music in multiple rooms.
Google Home Speaker has some stiff competition
Google's newest smart speaker returns to a tech landscape that is very different than the one the Google Nest mini entered back in 2019. Google's main competition is still Amazon, though now, Echo devices are powered by Alexa+ rather than Alexa. Amazon has also heavily invested in its generative AI assistant, and, in many ways, the efforts appear to have paid off—especially for Prime users who don't have to pay Amazon's subscription costs.
And don't discount the other potential player in this space: Apple. While the HomePod mini is priced right, it's a very different product, since Siri's abilities pale in comparison to Gemini's or Alexa+'s. But that could change once Siri AI drops, or if the rumors are correct and Apple soon releases a smart home display. In short, at this point, the AI-powered smart speaker market is still up for grabs.
