It’s not just the Pixel 5 which will appear next Wednesday (September 30) during a Google event. The company’s invitation mentions other products, including “our new Chromecast [and] latest smart speaker. “A retailer may have already let the cat out of the bag on this latest product.
Twitter user Marcos Frausto saw some prematurely released packaging for a product called Nest Audio on the shelves at Walmart. The retailer was apparently stocking the product ahead of the Pixel 5 event, according to a 9to5Google report.
This new leak is due to Walmart stocking the product before the Pixel 5 on September 30. We’ve also seen versions of the speaker in white and charcoal, but with this sighting in the wild, it seems like the only further confirmation we need on the Nest Audio is Google’s formal announcement.

The Nest Audio photo doesn’t reveal much more than Google’s familiar bundle – you certainly won’t see a price tag. However, there are some informed guesses floating around online, thanks to a recent Lowe’s report. product listing which costs the speaker at only $ 100.
WinFuture’s Roland quandt originally discovered the list, which also comes with an official description from Google touting the device’s ability to “hear music the way it should sound, with crisp vocals and powerful room-filling bass.”
While the page is still online to be verified, there is no pricing information available there anymore. Still, it seems we’ve all been briefed on what Google has planned for Nest Audio on September 30. However, that doesn’t mean there won’t be room for some additional surprises during the upcoming Google event.
We will probably see the introduction of the new Chromecast, which has also appeared online courtesy of leaks. Formerly codenamed Google Chromecast 4, the device will be called Chromecast with Google TV, and it seems to be a pretty major revision of the classic Chromecast dongle with a sleek new oval design. The new streaming device also appears to come with a remote control and should feature a variety of colors.
As for what the rest of the Pixel 5 event will show (beyond the phone, of course), there could still be room for hardware that hasn’t been previously shown in a store or leaked directly. We’ll just have to keep our eyes and ears open for what’s to come from Google.
Google’s September 30 event comes a week after Amazon rolled out a series of updates to its Alexa-powered speakers and devices, including a new version of the Amazon Echo smart speaker.
