A Best Buy Canada listing suggests Google’s Home Speaker may launch in summer 2026, later than its previously announced spring target.
The speaker was announced in October and is priced at $99.99 in the U.S., with different color options depending on the market.
The delay may be linked to Google’s Gemini-based smart home integration.
