\n

Good things take time, but not all things that take time are good. The jury is still out on the Google Home Speaker, but it certainly took a while to arrive. After announcing its new speaker last August, Google finally has a release date. The company’s first new smart home speaker in years will launch on June 25, and you can preorder it today for $100<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The generically named Google Home Speaker is Google’s first home audio device in almost six years. The last one was the Nest Audio<\/a>, which debuted back in September 2020. The new device is small and round\u2014an oblate spheroid, technically. It’s covered in a partially recycled fabric available in four colors: hazel, porcelain, jade, and berry (jade and berry are limited to the US). Google says<\/a> the device produces “360-degree sound” for a uniform listening experience anywhere in a room.<\/p>\n

Previous Google speakers included Assistant-style illuminated lights, but the Google Home Speaker features a light ring around the bottom that glows when the device is listening, “thinking,” or responding. This is becoming a trend with Google. The company will require a similar glowing lightbar embellishment on the upcoming Googlebook laptops<\/a>. There are three far-field microphones distributed around the speaker that will pick up your speech, and there’s a mute switch when you don’t want it listening for the “OK Google” trigger.<\/p>\n
