Google Home Speaker release date reportedly leaks
Google's first speaker in nearly six years should finally make its way to stores before the end of the month.
According to a leaked product page on Best Buy's Canadian website, the Google Home Speaker will officially launch on June 25.
The product page, as first noticed by 9to5Google, lists the speaker at a price point of $139.99 Canadian dollars. This appears to back up Google's announced U.S. launch price point for the speaker at $99.99.

In addition, Best Buy only lists the Hazel and Porcelain color options, whereas Google's U.S. product page shows that the smart speaker will also come in Berry and Jade colors as well. In design, the new Google Home Speaker looks like a cross between an Echo Dot and an Apple HomePod.
Google previously announced the Google Home Speaker last summer. It will be powered by Gemini instead of the traditional Google Assistant, which has been the subject of numerous complains in recent months. While the speaker comes with Google Gemini, users will have to sign up for a monthly subscription to access additional AI features such as Gemini Live.
According to Google, the launch date for the Google Home Speaker was originally targeted for Spring 2026. However, the company delayed its release so it could focus on rolling out Gemini for Home. A June 25 rollout would only put the release a few days outside Google's originally targeted launch window.
The Google Home Speaker will be Google's first since 2020. It also marks a shift from the company, as the Google Home Speaker doesn't have the Nest branding that many Google smart home products used to carry. The Google Home Speaker will feature Gemini processing, 360-degree audio, multi-room support, and the ability to pair multiple Speakers with the Google TV Streamer for stereo surround sound.
