Google's new smart home hardware looks mostly familiar in leaked images

Google wants to get Gemini in your smart home, and it looks like it's planning to release a lineup of new Nest Products to make it happen. Android Headlines has new images and details that confirm the look of the speaker and a collection of other Nest products that are on the way.

Android Headlines writes that the speaker also supports Gemini Live, Sound Sensing for detecting smoke alarms or glass breaking and pairing with a Google TV Streamer. The decision to largely use the same design on its Nest devices and focus on changing internal components and software features is a similar strategy to what Google used with the Pixel 10 lineup. As far as which subscription offers what, and if certain Gemini features will be locked behind a higher price, we'll have to wait until Google details its smart home plans.
