The Google Home Speaker moniker marks a shift away from the Nest branding seen with Google devices like the Nest Mini, Nest Audio, and Nest Hub. It indicates a return to Google's original naming convention, similar to the Google Home, Home Mini, and Home Max lineup.

Further, the report claims that Nest Aware is rebranded as Google Home Premium. The code reportedly includes descriptions outlining new features under the revamped branding. It includes Gemini and the Gemini Live redesigned Google Home app. It has AI-powered event summaries, 360 audio on the new Google Home Speaker and 2K video on Nest Cams and Doorbells.

During the Made by Google 2025 event in August, Google quietly teased a new Nest smart speaker in a promo video featuring F1's Lando Norris and NBA star Giannis Antetokounmpo. The speaker was shown with Gemini integration. It had a sphere-shaped grey design with a light ring at the base, resembling past Google Nest products. It is rumoured to be available in bright red, light green, black, and porcelain shades.
