For the first time in almost six years, we finally have a new Google-made smart speaker. As someone who uses Google Home and has long preferred Google Assistant (and now Gemini) over Alexa, I’m thrilled. I’ve been impatiently waiting for Google to refresh its smart speaker portfolio, and the Home Speaker does precisely that.
And Google is going all-in on this refresh. The company officially discontinued the Nest Mini and Nest Audio, making the Google Home Speaker the only Google speaker option going forward. As such, it had better be great.
