Google finally set a release date for its long‑teased Home Speaker, confirming a June 25 launch at $99.99. The device arrives in Jade, Berry, Porcelain and Hazel, with the two bright shades limited to the U.S. market. Pre‑orders are already live on the Google Store, ending a ten‑month gap since the initial teaser during the Pixel 10 rollout, and will ship directly from Google’s fulfillment centers.

Powered by an unnamed quad‑core Cortex‑A55 processor, the speaker packs 1 GB RAM and 4 GB storage. Audio comes from a 58 mm full‑range driver that Google markets as omni‑directional, complemented by three far‑field microphones and a physical mute switch. Connectivity includes Wi‑Fi 6, Bluetooth 5.4 and Thread 1.3, allowing it to act as a border router. The hardware design emphasizes low power draw for 24‑hour standby.

Gemini runs natively on the speaker, offering ten new natural‑sounding voices and a Gemini Live mode for free‑flowing conversation. Users can ask the assistant to summarize activity from Nest cameras or request a recap of events while away. Pairing up to two speakers with a Google TV Streamer creates a spatial surround sound setup, turning the living room into a compact home theater, and syncs.
