  • App references indicate 360 audio support, aligning with earlier leaks of a compact round design intended for all‑around sound.
  • Strings also show Nest Aware shifting to Google Home Premium with a higher Google Home Premium Advanced tier, though feature differences remain unclear.
  • Reporting continues to suggest the speaker will integrate Gemini, but Google has not confirmed hardware details or capabilities.
  • Coverage frames the launch as likely soon, with some outlets speculating timing near upcoming Pixel device sales, but no date or pricing is official.
