New Google Home Mini and Daydream View leaks leave little to the imagination
August 23, 2025
A few weeksafter rumors hit the internetthat Google was planning to launch a smaller version of itsGoogle Homesmart speaker, a new report claims to have images and pricing details of the device. Not surprisingly, the report says the speaker will be called the Google Home Mini, and that it will be priced at just $49. A separate report from the same outlet claims we will soon see newDaydream Viewmobile VR units as well.
According toDroid Life, who got the images and info from an unnamed source, the Google Home Mini will only have a powered connection and will come in Chalk, Charcoal, and Coral colors. The design itself makes the speaker look a bit like a hockey puck, and there also appears to be LED lights on top. The report claims that it will support theGoogle Assistantdigital companion like the regular Google Home. It also looks like the Google Home Mini won’t have interchangeable bases like its bigger version. Its dirt cheap price of $49 is the same price as theAmazon Echo Dot, and could lead to some new competition for Amazon’s Alexa-powered smart speakers.
In a separate post,Droid Lifeposted up leaked images of the new versions of Google’s Daydream View VR headsets. On the surface, the new headsets don’t appear to look much different than the first generation of Daydream View products that launched in 2016. The new units do come in Charcoal, Fog, and Coral colors, and the outside material also appear to be more rugged than the current version. The report claims that the price of these new headsets will be $99, which is $20 higher than the current $79 version.
Google is going to be announcinga number of new products on October 4, and it’s likely that the Google Home Mini and the new Daydream View headsets will be included in that reveal. Google is also expected to officially announce its newPixel 2 and Pixel 2 XL phones at that event.
