Google’s Nest lineup also got an overhaul with the
new Nest Mini smart assistant and Nest Wifi router. The Nest mini is the
spiritual successor to the popular Google Home Mini and brings a larger speaker
in the same body as the previous Nest Mini. There are new capacitive buttons
for interacting with the smart speaker with several small LED indicators for
ease of use. The Google Nest Mini will go on sale for US$ 49 and will be available
in chalk, charcoal, coral, and sky blue colors. Sales start on October 22.
Nest Wifi is a smart speaker and mesh router
combined into a single device. It connects directly to your modem and extends
your Wi-Fi range. According to Google, you’ll be able to experience 25% better
coverage with a single Nest Wifi unit. Google is also introducing additional
Nest Wifi points that work together with the Nest Wifi to further extend
network range.
Alongside all the benefits the Nest Wifi can be used
as a smart speaker and features Google Assistant integration. Pricing starts at US$ 169 for a single Nest Wifi unit, US$ 269 will get you an additional Nest Wifi
point and US$ 349 will get you a Nest Wifi alongside a three-pack of Nest Wifi
point extenders. The Nest Wifi goes on sale starting November 4.
