The company also announced new features for Google Home, and expansion of features like Google Voice Match and handsfree calling to more regions.The Google Home Mini has been priced at $49 (roughly Rs. 3,200), and will go up for pre-orders on Wednesday itself in the seven nations the Google Home smart speaker is currently available in - Australia, Canada, France, Germany, Japan, UK, and US. The smart speaker will go on sale from October 19. The Google Home Mini is mostly fabric covered, and features four LED lights. It will be available in Coral, Chalk, and Charcoal colour variants.

It will be launched in Chalk and Charcoal colours, and will come with a 12-month subscription to the ad-free YouTube Red, which includes YouTube Music.

It is also covered with acoustically transparent fabric.

Google PixelBuds

Google PixelBuds

Google debuted new wireless earbuds, dubbed Pixel Buds. The one thing that will perhaps irk most people is that Google has eliminated the 3.5mm jack just like Apple. It has gone all wireless. Pixel Buds will pair via Bluetooth to the new Pixel smartphones-and presumably any other devices that accept Bluetooth wireless earbuds.

Google PixelBuds offer upto 5 hours of listening time supporting 40 languages for translation, and they will be available in November for $160 (Rs 10,413).
