Google\u2019s long-awaited Home Speaker<\/a> may finally have a release date over six months after it was actually revealed.
Don\u2019t want to miss the best from Android Authority<\/em>?<\/strong>
Best Buy Canada\u2019s product listing<\/a> for the Google Home Speaker currently shows a June 25, 2026, release date. While retailers occasionally publish placeholder dates, this is the first time we\u2019ve seen a specific launch date attached to Google\u2019s upcoming Gemini-powered smart speaker. That said, Best Buy\u2019s US website<\/a> doesn\u2019t yet show a release date, with the speaker\u2019s listing labeled \u201cComing Soon.\u201d
Since Google itself hasn\u2019t revealed a specific release date for the Home Speaker, it\u2019s worth treating Best Buy\u2019s listed date with some caution for now.
Google first unveiled<\/a> the Home Speaker in October 2025, describing it as its first new smart speaker in years and announcing a Spring 2026 launch window. At the time, the company said the delayed release was intentional, as it wanted to focus on rolling out Gemini for Home<\/a> to existing Google Home and Nest devices before launching new hardware.
However, spring is nearly over, and the speaker is still unavailable. Google\u2019s own store listing continues to say the $99.99 device is \u201cComing Spring 2026.\u201d
Android Authority<\/em> recently reached out to Google for an updated timeline. The company responded by saying it would share more details soon.
The Home Speaker marks a significant shift in Google\u2019s smart home strategy. Rather than carrying the Nest branding, the speaker is simply called \u201cGoogle Home Speaker\u201d and has been designed from the ground up around Gemini.
It features custom processing for Gemini, 360-degree audio, stereo pairing, multi-room support, and the ability to pair with the Google TV Streamer<\/a> for a home theater-style setup. It will be available in Porcelain, Hazel, Berry, and Jade color options.
The device is priced at $99.99 and was announced for launch across multiple markets, including the US, Canada, the UK, Australia, Japan, and several European countries.
For now, the June 25 release date remains unofficial. But if Best Buy Canada\u2019s listing is accurate, Google may finally be just a few weeks away from shipping its first Gemini-native smart speaker.
