Google Has Discontinued its Nest Audio and Nest Mini Speakers

Google has now stopped manufacturing its two Nest-branded smart speakers, the 2nd-gen Nest Mini and the Nest Audio. The two devices are no longer available to purchase from the Google Store, though you may still find them at other retailers.

The two speakers were released more than five years ago, and they’re finally being replaced by the new Gemini-powered Google Home Speaker, which will start shipping on June 25. Google’s new smart speaker is priced at $99.99, just like the Nest Audio it’s replacing, but it’s noticeably smaller and also offers 360° sound.

“As we continue to build the future of the smart home, we are refining our portfolio of Google Home and Nest devices. As part of this evolution, we have ended production of the Google Nest Mini and Google Nest Audio,” a Google spokesperson told Tech Advisor.

Even though the Google Nest Audio and Nest Mini are no longer manufactured, the two smart speakers will continue to receive software updates. They’re also being upgraded to the new Gemini for Home experience, which will replace the existing Google Assistant.

“We remain deeply committed to our smart home ecosystem and to the millions of people who use our products every day,” the Google spokesperson said. “Existing Nest Mini and Nest Audio devices will continue to be fully supported with regular software updates, security patches, and customer care.”
