But somewhat inexplicably, the search giant initially neglected to mention yesterday that new Nest-branded smart home devices are also set for a formal October 6 announcement.
An even cheaper Chromecast is coming soon
The 2018 Chromecast (pictured here) will apparently finally get a sequel soon.
That almost definitely means we’re looking at a 2022 replacement for the entry-level Chromecast here, likely to start at the same $29.99 price as its archaic predecessor in the US with 1080p video playing capabilities at 60 frames per second and, for the time being, a completely unknown set of upgrades.
What else could Google hide up its sleeve for October 6?
To be perfectly honest, we have no idea how to answer that question as far as new smart home products are concerned. But since the company is teasing the impending arrival of “additions” (in the plural) to said Nest smart home portfolio, we can certainly speculate that Big G’s smallest smart speaker might get a new edition next month.
Could a Nest Mini sequel also be in the works? We’ll just have to wait and see.
