Google has discontinued its popular and budget-friendly Nest Mini smart speaker alongside the launch of the new Google Home Speaker. This transition leaves a gap in the market as the $99 new device does not serve as a direct or affordable replacement for the previous entry-level model. The move suggests that Google is pivoting toward a hardware lineup designed to support its Gemini AI era rather than simply updating existing product tiers.
Google Photos is about to undergo a radical change with the integration of Gemini AI models. A new 'Ask Photos' feature will turn the platform into a visual database, enabling users to search for photos and videos using everyday language.
