There's nothing like leak-based pressure for a manufacturer to go ahead with a device presentation. It sounds like extortion, it's true, but the mistakes in the patent offices and the production chains ultimately lead to these last-minute decisions in which some other user wins in order to finally discover the device they wanted to see . And that's what happened with him. future google speaker.
Google's new smart speaker
it happened with the Pixel 4 and it has happened again with the new smart speaker. At the moment we do not have a name (we do not know if because it will reveal a new family of products), but we do know what it will look like. We are facing a vertical cut speaker that apparently continues to bet on the elegant fabric finish.
The design is similar to the Home mini that we can currently buy, with the fabric protection and the rubber base, however, this new model would grow in height to possibly offer a sound performance superior to the home mini and get closer to the different options that Amazon offers with its Echo.
Unknown features for now
The company itself has shared a video in the form of a small advance that it has sent to the people of The Verge, and although the device can be seen in several shots, the images in question do not reveal particularly interesting data, beyond the two colors in which it will be available at least: gray and blue.
The only thing left to do is wait for the official launch, since that will only be how we know its real name and all the features it will offer, in addition to the price, of course. Who knows if the launch of this new smart device will be accompanied by a new version of the assistant, which will allow us to delve into the questions asked. We'll see.
As of today, the manufacturer's catalog is made up of the Nest Mini, Google Home and Nest Hub, so it would make sense to replace the Google Home model to make way for a speaker with similar characteristics under the Nest label, which Google It has been used for a long time for everything related to home automation.
When will it be officially launched?
Without a name and without confirmed characteristics, the last thing we could know about it is the price it will have in stores. We do not have any of that, nor the presentation date, since Google for now remains completely silent as far as future releases are concerned. We will see if he finally decides to hold a fast and efficient event, or if, on the contrary, he decides to use his new product as a companion in the presentation of the future Pixel 5. Anything could be.
