WIRED and Mashable have already received review machines, and the first batch of experiences shows that this may be the most significant upgrade in the smart speaker category since the birth of Amazon Echo.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Say goodbye to Google Assistant and welcome Gemini<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The previous generation of Google smart speakers, Nest Audio, was released in 2020. At that time, the AI \u200b\u200bassistant was still Google Assistant based on rules and simple NLU (natural language understanding). The new version of Google Home Speaker has been completely redesigned<strong>Gemini 3.1<\/strong>, supports natural conversations, multi-step commands, and contextual memory\u2014you can speak to it like you\u2019re chatting with a human, rather than reciting specific wake words and command formats.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">According to Mashable reviews, Home Speaker powered by Gemini is far better than any previous smart speaker in terms of understanding fuzzy instructions, handling continuous questions, and giving personalized answers. support<strong>Gemini Live<\/strong>function to achieve true voice dialogue interaction.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Hardware upgrade: 360\u00b0 surround sound + spatial audio<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The hardware aspect is also full of sincerity:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>360 degree surround sound<\/strong>: A single speaker can provide an omnidirectional sound field, suitable for placement in the center of the room<\/li>\n<li><strong>Stereo pairing<\/strong>: Purchase two to form a stereo system<\/li>\n<li><strong>spatial audio<\/strong>:Supports spatial audio output after connecting to Google TV Streamer<\/li>\n<li><strong>Four colors<\/strong>: Hazel, Berry, Charcoal and Porcelain, continuing the design language of the Google Nest series<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Price and Subscription: Hardware is not expensive, AI costs money<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Google Home Speaker is priced around<strong>$100<\/strong>, which is mid-priced among smart speakers. But please note:<strong>All premium features of Gemini require a Google Home Premium subscription<\/strong>\u2014\u2014Free trial for the first 6 months, then you need to pay. This continues Google\u2019s strategy of \u201cmaking small profits on hardware and making money on services\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Smart speaker war 2.0: three companies competing<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The release of Google Home Speaker coincides with a critical moment in the smart speaker industry: Amazon is reconstructing Alexa with its self-developed Nova model, and Apple will also bring a new Gemini-powered Siri to HomePod in iOS 27. The AI \u200b\u200bassistants of the three giants were upgraded at the same time, which means<strong>The smart speaker landscape since 2017 is about to be completely rewritten<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For domestic users, there is a high probability that Google Home Speaker will not be officially sold in mainland China - but Gemini's implementation path in the smart home field has important reference significance for domestic players such as Xiaomi and Tmall Elf. When AI assistants truly become \u201csmart,\u201d smart speakers may transform from \u201cdispensable accessories\u201d into true home AI hubs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Summarize<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Google Home Speaker isn\u2019t just a new speaker;<strong>Gemini moves from the mobile phone screen into the physical space<\/strong>milestone. Six years of waiting has brought about not just a hardware update, but a qualitative change in the smart speaker category from \"voice remote control\" to \"AI companion\".
