Both devices are expected to use Gemini Live for AI assistance, enabling more natural conversations and comprehensive help compared to the traditional Google Assistant. The Home Display might also be wall-mountable, according to speculation on Reddit, though Google has not confirmed this.
The Home Speaker will be available in the US starting in Spring 2026. Google has not provided pricing details for either device.
Google I/O 2026, scheduled for May 19-20, may provide updates on these products. The new smart home devices are part of Google's broader push to integrate AI across its product lines.
Google has not confirmed the launch window for the Home Display or the wall-mountable feature. The company has remained quiet about the devices since the initial announcement.
