Google has launched a new smart speaker built around Gemini rather than the older Assistant, available for pre-order at $99.99 with a June 25 release date. The device supports natural, multi-step conversations without requiring specific wake commands and features 360-degree sound in four color options. Premium features such as Gemini Live, camera history search and Home Briefs require a $10-per-month subscription after an included six-month free trial.
