The Google Home Speaker is here, and it’s now Google’s only smart speaker. With the Nest Mini and Nest Audio discontinued, everyone interested in a smart speaker for Google Home will be considering the new $99 orb.While this is Google’s first smart speaker purpose-built for Gemini, the Home Speaker might not satisfy those craving a Nest Audio successor. The new speaker is half the size of the Nest Audio, and that affects the Home Speaker’s sound quality.
