The Home Mini’s status on Google’s online Store is listed as “No longer available”. Since the initial launch of the small home speaker, it has often been discounted and gifted with some YouTube or Spotify promotions for subscribers.

The smart speaker sold for more than four years. But with the Nest Home mini, there’s no longer a need for the original ‘mini’ speaker. Because, the Nest Home Mini has stronger sound, better microphones, and proximity sensors.

So it might possible that the company is working on a successor to the Nest Home mini. On the other hand, Amazon has released so many Echo smart speakers in various forms factors over the years. The next logical step is for Google to reimagine its Nest Home mini. The entry-level smart speaker is important for Apple, Samsung, Google, and Amazon to introduce new customers to their ecosystems at more accessible price points.
