Footnotes

  1. Stereo pairing is only possible with two speakers of the exact same model. Meaning you can’t stereo pair a Google Nest Audio with a Nest Mini (either generation), and you can’t pair a Nest Mini (gen 2) with a Home Mini / Nest Mini (gen 1).
  2. Some products have been renamed from ‘Home’ to ‘Nest’. The Google Home Hub has been later renamed to ‘Google Nest Hub (Gen 1)’, and the Google Home Mini has been renamed to ‘Google Nest Mini (Gen 1)’.
  3. Google Nest speakers & hubs also come with paperwork such as manuals, quick start guides, privacy and safety information, but this is omitted in the column ‘Included in the box’ in the table.
