Nest Mini and Nest Audio Speakers Disappearing: Is a New Google Home Speaker on the Horizon?

Key Takeaways

Google’s Nest Mini and Nest Audio speakers are currently unavailable on the Google Store.
Third-party retailers have limited stock; Amazon and Best Buy are key outlets.
The discontinuation may signal the upcoming launch of the new Google Home Speaker.

Sales Halt for Popular Smart Speakers

Google’s Nest Mini and Nest Audio smart speakers have suddenly become hard to find, with listings marked as “out of stock” and “unavailable” on the Google Store in the US and Canada. Customers in the UK and Australia can sign up for notifications if the products return to stock.

Searching for these devices outside Google’s platform also poses challenges, but options remain. In the US, Amazon is currently offering the Nest Mini, while Best Buy is running a clearance event for the Nest Audio priced at $74.99. In the UK, Amazon lists the Nest Mini for £69.99, though other retailers like Argos and Currys are no longer displaying either model.

This unavailability is not particularly surprising, as it appears Google is preparing to launch a new generation smart speaker. However, it remains unclear if the Nest Mini and Nest Audio will return to the market after the release of the new model. Google has invested substantial resources in enhancing these older models with new features through Gemini tools, suggesting that production may not be halted indefinitely.

UK customers have an added incentive to remain hopeful, as Google is providing email notifications regarding stock availability, which hints at a potential return of these products.

Having served as Google’s flagship smart hubs for nearly seven years, the Nest Mini and Nest Audio seem to be on the verge of being replaced by the upcoming Google Home Speaker. The latter was teased during the 2025 Made by Google event and was officially announced for a Spring 2026 launch. Although Spring has ended without a product release, Best Buy Canada has cited a potential availability date of June 25. While Google has yet to confirm this, anticipation continues to build around the new smart hub, promising exciting developments for consumers.
