Google Nest Mini (2nd Gen)

The Google Nest Mini (2nd Gen) is Google's most compact and affordable smart speaker with Google Assistant built in. The fabric-covered design mounts to walls or sits on surfaces while delivering surprisingly capable audio for its size with improved bass over the original Google Home Mini.

The small 98mm diameter with 42mm height fits anywhere while the wall-mount slot enables vertical installation to save surface space. Touch controls on top manage volume and playback, with capacitive sensors that anticipate your touch with subtle LED illumination.

WiFi connectivity enables Google Assistant functionality, music streaming, and smart home control. Note that the Nest Mini does not include Thread or Matter hub capabilities—for those features, choose Nest Hub, Nest Hub Max, or Nest Audio. Basic smart home control works through Google Home cloud connections.

Google Assistant responds to voice commands for music, information, smart home control, and daily routines. Multi-room audio groups multiple speakers for synchronized playback. Ambient IQ adjusts volume based on background noise. Available in Chalk, Charcoal, Coral, and Sky colors to match various décor.
