Google Home Speaker Launches with Gemini AI

Google’s launching the Google Home Speaker on June 25th — a $100 AI powerhouse built for seamless, natural conversations with Gemini. Preorders start this Wednesday. This isn’t just another smart speaker; it’s Google’s latest move to embed Gemini into everyday home life, competing with Amazon’s Echo and Apple’s rumored HomePod updates. With real-time feedback from millions of users, Gemini for Home learns to handle interruptions, multi-step requests, and even self-corrections. The speaker features a glowing ring to show when it’s listening or responding, and pairs with Google TV for immersive surround sound — though existing Google TV users face a small glitch. Advanced features like Gemini Live require a $10/month Premium subscription (new buyers get six months free), while basic smart home control remains free.
