The Nest Mini they announced on Tuesday is a product of that collaboration. It&#8217;s a rebranded version of the Home Mini that retails at the same price \u2014 $49. (While the Home Mini is still available at the Google store, the device is being replaced with the Nest Mini going forward.)<\/p>\n<p>As for the changes, Google says the Nest Mini&#8217;s bass is twice as strong as the Home Mini&#8217;s, and its sounds are refined by an audio tuning software developed by in-house sound engineers. It\u2019s an upgrade that\u2019s supposed to make the Nest Mini sound rich, detailed, and clear at every volume level.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"image\">\n<p><img alt=\"Google unveils Sky, a new color for the Nest Mini.\" class=\"\" data-fragment=\"m!33a9\" data-image=\"https:\/\/mondrian.mashable.com\/uploads%252Fcard%252Fimage%252F1062938%252F9aeb3c22-3aea-47e1-875e-a75a9fb80792.png%252Ffull-fit-in__1200x2000.png?signature=uIB9jUzpVpq4TwWh8BdxdxXL6k8=&amp;source=https%3A%2F%2Fblueprint-api-production.s3.amazonaws.com\" data-micro=\"1\"  ><\/p><figcaption class=\"image-caption\">\n<p>Google unveils Sky, a new color for the Nest Mini.<\/p>\n<\/figcaption><div class=\"image-credit\">\n<p>Image:  Google<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/figure>\n<div class=\"see-also\">\n<p class=\"see-also-link\">SEE ALSO: <a href=\"https:\/\/me.mashable.com\/tech\/7478\/google-unveils-pixel-4-and-pixel-4-xl-after-so-so-many-leaks\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Google unveils Pixel 4 and Pixel 4 XL after so, so many leaks<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>The sound doesn&#8217;t just get better. It also gets more adaptive, according to Google.<\/p>\n<p>Google says the Nest Mini automatically adjusts the volume of Google Assistant, news, and podcasts depending on the amount of background noise it detects. That way, you can hear Issa Rae and John Legend \u2014 who narrates two of the 12 total Assistant voices in English featured in the U.S. \u2014\u00a0 over the repetitive rumble of your laundry machine if you fancy.<\/p>\n<!-- Quick Adsense WordPress Plugin: http:\/\/quickadsense.com\/ -->\n<div class=\"c5b541d88d911dcbb84397def1a3492d\" data-index=\"2\" style=\"float: none; margin:0px 0 0px 0; text-align:center;\">\n<script async src=\"https:\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js\"><\/script>\r\n<!-- 2 -->\r\n<ins class=\"adsbygoogle\"\r\n     style=\"display:block\"\r\n     data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-3943282228430444\"\r\n     data-ad-slot=\"5511153269\"\r\n     data-ad-format=\"auto\"\r\n     data-full-width-responsive=\"true\"><\/ins>\r\n<script>\r\n     (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});\r\n<\/script>\n<\/div>\n\n<p>Thanks to a machine-learning chip with up to one TeraOPS processing power, the Nest Mini can also process some commands much faster than the Home Mini, Google says. Rather than processing selected Assistant functions from Google\u2019s data center, they\u2019re being processed within the device itself.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>The Nest Mini can be paired to other Nest speakers for a whole-home sound system, according to Google.
