If we talk about smart speakers, we have to talk about Amazon, the undisputed king of the market today thanks to the Alexa range, a range composed of a large number of devices and that each year is renewed with new models. Google's first bet hit the market in 2016.
A bet formed by the Google Home and the Google Home Mini. The Mini version, it was renewed a few months ago and I change the name to introduce it within the Next brand, in order to group all the connected devices under the same umbrella. But if we talk about the Google Home, it has not been renewed at any time.

It has not been renewed but it will do so on July 13, as announced by the company itself through the Twitter account from Google Nest. The Google Nest Twitter account published this morning a tweet in which we see a person meditating under the text “Take a deep breath and get ready. Something special is coming this Monday. "
If we take into account that most countries, the Google Home is no longer available for sale, for several weeks, we only have to add 2 plus 2 to know that this will be the smart speaker that is renewed and enters the Nest range.
New Google Home design
A couple of days ago, Google published a teaser of the new Google Home, with a very different design from the one we currently know as we can see in the image above.
Google was late once again
We do not know why Google It took four years to renew its Google Home speaker, the largest, allowing Amazon to take even more advantage of it than it already did when Google presented its bet on this market.
It would not be the first time, nor will it be the last, that Google is late to a market, so it is likely that you have lost interest in this market when you see how competing against Amazon is practically impossible. It is also likely that tomorrow he will surprise us all during the presentation and announce the new smart speaker with fantastic sound quality at an irresistible price, the same technique is used by Amazon.
