According to a rumour, Google is working
on launching a new smart speaker sometime later this year that is codenamed
“Prince”. The speaker will likely replace the original Google Home smart
speaker, and have a familiar design that is similar to the Nest Mini, Nest Hub,
Google Home Max.
The smart speaker would be display-less
and will have its size and sound capabilities lie in between the original
Google Home and the Google Home Max. For software, the smart speaker would have
the usual integration with the Google Assistant along with the ability to pair
two of them for stereo speakers.
At the moment, there is no information on
whether the “Prince” smart speaker will have any exclusive features nor do we
know when the smart speaker will release. Google will likely name this smart
speaker under its Nest branded products. Over the past few weeks, there have
been many rumours of multiple Google hardware products that are yet to release,
including Pixel 4A, Chromecast/Android TV Stick, and Pixel 5.
