Google's smart speaker will be cheaper than the Amazon Echo, report says
Amazon might be getting a little worried.
Pricing details for Google's upcoming smart speaker, the Amazon Echo-like Google Home, may have just been leaked and they suggest that Google's speaker will be a lotcheaper than Amazon's.
SEE ALSO:Google sends invite for likely Pixel smartphone launch on Oct. 4The speaker will sell for $129 when it goes on sale later this year, according to a report in Android Police. Google Home, which the company first introduced at its I/O developer conference in May, is a speaker that also has Google Assistant built in. (You can preview the assistant in the company's new messaging app, Allo.) It can also control smart home devices, complete searches and help you manage tasks like managing your grocery list.
If true, the $129 price tag would make Google's offering extremely competitive with Amazon's Echo line. Amazon's flagship Echo sells for $179.99 while the portable Amazon Tap costs $129.99
The report didn't provide specifics around availability, just that the Google was set to unveil the price at its upcoming Pixel event in October. But, given that Google previously promised the device would be available in the fall, it seems safe to assume it will go on sale soon after October's unveiling.
Android Police also reports that Google will show off a new 4k-ready Chromecast at that event, called Chromecast Ultra. That device will sell for $69, according to the site's sources.
A Google spokesperson declined to comment on the report.
Mashablewill be covering the event live from San Francisco so stay tuned for our full coverage.
