Google snuck a new smart speaker into its big Pixel event
Google has hinted at new smart devices for later this year, and during their recent Pixel event, a new smart speaker may have been revealed. The speaker, which appeared briefly in the background of a video, is a small, slightly squished sphere with a gray exterior and a light ring at the base, likely housing Google's new Gemini voice assistant. The speaker was not directly mentioned during the presentation, but it seems to be the first new Google smart speaker since the Nest Audio in 2020. The use of a light ring instead of the traditional four pulsing LEDs may indicate a change in the visual representation of the voice assistant, as Google has stated that Gemini will soon replace Google Assistant on its existing and upcoming smart devices. The details of this new speaker are still unclear, and it may be officially unveiled at a future Made by Google event.
