Google's sleek new smart speaker is already a contender

Nest Audio costs $99.99 and comes in five colors. There hasn't been a new Google Home speaker since way back in 2016 and now Google is giving its OG smart speaker a major upgrade with the Nest Audio. We're still getting to know the Nest Audio, but here are some important specs to note: The speaker keeps the same fabric-wrapped look of previous Google speakers like the Nest Mini, but it takes on a more unique oval-shape and it's taller than many other smart speakers on the market. It doesn't come with any USB-C or auxiliary input ports, but unlike the Sonos One, it supports both WiFi and Bluetooth connection. As you'd expect in a modern smart speaker, the Nest can be paired with other Nest speakers for multi-room audio.
