Leaked: Google’s Gemini-Powered Home Speaker — What We Know
During Google’s Made by Google showcase a brief on-stage cameo revealed what appears to be a new Gemini-powered smart speaker — informally tipped as the “Google Home Speaker.” While Google hasn’t announced the product, leaked images and multiple reports outline what we might expect.
What it looks like
The device is a compact, fabric-wrapped speaker with a light ring at its base, resembling a slightly plumper Apple HomePod mini. Leaks show it in several colors: white (porcelain), black (obsidian), light green (jade) and red.
Key features reported
- Gemini Live: A Gemini-powered voice assistant experience expected to replace Google Assistant on newer devices.
- Matter support: Functions as a smart home hub for Matter-compatible devices.
- Sound detection: Can reportedly detect unusual sounds like breaking glass or smoke alarms and send alerts to your phone/tablet.
- Google TV pairing: Can pair with a Google TV streamer to act as an additional surround speaker.
- Standard smart speaker features: Media control, smart home automations, and new natural-sounding voice options.
Availability
No official launch date, pricing, or pre-order links have been announced. Reports stem from leaked images and insider information shared by sites covering the Made by Google event; Google has not provided further comment.
