weeks.

A product listing for the Google Home Speaker on the Best Buy Canada site points to a June 25 release date, so if youve been patiently waiting for the arrival of Googles first smart speaker in six years, you could get your hands on it sooner than you think. Though this is exciting news for those whove
been waiting to upgrade, its best to take this placeholder date with a pinch of salt before you get your hopes up. At the moment, theres no mention of an official release date on the Best Buy US page , and Google Store also hasnt been updated either.

As far as pricing goes, we have more information on how much the Google Home Speaker will cost depending on region. Its listed for $99.99 / 99.99 on the Google Store, and CA$139.99 on Best Buy Canada. When it comes to color options, the speaker will be available in four different shades in the US (Berry, Jade, Hazel, and Porcelain), while the UK and Canada will only have two (Hazel and Porcelain).

Back when Google first showcased the smart speaker in October 2025 , we were lucky enough to get hands-on with it to see how it differs from the Nest
Audio . Its biggest upgrades are the 360-audio design (which resembles the Apple HomePod Mini ), and its connectivity improvements, allowing you to
group multiple Google Home Speakers which you can pair with the Google TV Streamer to enhance your audio. @techradar

question and make smart home commands for a more casual, conversational-like experience. Additionally, Gemini works to better understand the context of your voice commands and questions to give you more accurate answers.

To say the Google Home Speakers release has been a long slog is an understatement. We first caught a glimpse of Googles next gen smart speaker during its Made by Google event in August 2025, when it teased a mysterious Nest smart speaker .

The company unveiled the smart speaker right after Amazon announced the next generation of its own line of Echo devices , and was projected for a spring 2026 arrival, which we assumed would be between March - May, and its been a waiting game ever since.

Google is really cutting it close with its smart speaker release as were officially past the expected release timeframe. Spring officially ends on
June 21, meaning that if Google goes ahead with its June 25 release, it would have just missed the Spring cut-off. Follow TechRadar on Google News and add us as a preferred source to get our expert news, reviews, and opinion in your feeds.
