In line with leaks from earlier today, Google also unveiled the Nest Mini smart speaker during today’s hardware event with better sound quality and wall mount support. The second-gen Home Mini speaker is still the “most affordable Google Assistant-powered speaker” at $49 (Rs 3,500). It’s available for pre-order today and will go on sale from October 22.
The hardware changes include a wall mount groove (obviously to hang the speaker like Nest’s thermostats, so it’s easily visible) and a new proprietary circular pin charger that resembles the charger we get with Nest Hub or Hub Max speakers. It replaces the older microUSB charging port on the Home Mini.
Google Nest Mini is expected to become available in 23 countries within a week’s time from today, including India. We will have to wait for an official announcement to learn the India pricing of this tiny speaker.
