Google Home Speaker with Gemini AI and Matter Hub Launches in Germany
Google Brings Gemini-Powered Smart Speaker to Germany
Google has launched its new Google Home Speaker in Germany, bringing advanced artificial intelligence capabilities powered by Gemini and an integrated Matter hub to the consumer hardware market at a retail price of 120 euros, according to reports from Heise Online and ifun.de.
Pre-Order Details and Retail Pricing
The newly introduced Gemini-powered smart speaker is available for pre-order starting today, priced at 120 euros, as detailed by GameStar and Google’s official company blog.
The hardware rollout brings Google’s latest conversational AI assistant directly into local living rooms. However, regional software limitations mean certain features may not function identically for every user from day one, according to GameStar’s initial product breakdown.
Native Matter Hub and Smart Home Control
The device functions as a central command unit for connected households. By combining on-device Gemini intelligence with a native Matter hub, Google’s official product announcements show the hardware is built for modern ecosystems.
This dual configuration allows the speaker to interface directly with a broad spectrum of certified smart home accessories, bridging multiple communication protocols without requiring separate proprietary bridges, as noted by Heise Online.
Phased Software Rollout and Localization
While the physical hardware is now obtainable across German retail channels, early buyers should anticipate phased software deployments.
GameStar reports that advanced conversational features and specialized Gemini integrations will roll out progressively.
