The Google Home Speaker is coming in 2026 

Gemini is first coming to every smart device that Google launched in the past decade. Next year, the Google Home Speaker is launching for $99.99.

The Google Home Speaker has been “engineered and designed for Gemini.” It features custom processing “to handle Gemini’s advanced AI for faster, more fluid interactions,” while Gemini Live has a lot of requirements.

Google first’s speaker since 2020 will offer balanced 360-degree audio with yarn covering everything but the base, which houses a light ring that indicates when Gemini is listening, thinking, reasoning, responding, or in Gemini Live mode. As always, there is a physical mute switch for the microphone.

With a domed top and curved sides, Google is using a “3D knitting process that significantly reduces fabric waste.”

You will be able to pair two Speakers with the Google TV Streamer for an immersive home theater system. There’s also stereo pairing and grouping with existing Nest speakers for multi-room audio. 

The Google Home Speaker is available in Berry (pink/red), Hazel (black/gray), Jade (light green), and Porcelain (beige/white)

It will launch Spring 2026 in 19 countries: United States, Canada, United Kingdom, Ireland, France, Germany, Spain, Italy, Netherlands, Denmark, Norway, Sweden, Finland, Belgium, Switzerland, Austria, Japan, Australia, and New Zealand.
