Google is preparing to introduce a range of new technologies in the near future. Central to this are events such as the developer conference Google I/O and “The Android Show,” which will focus on new devices and software solutions. One of the anticipated highlights is the Google Home speaker, expected to be equipped with the Gemini voice assistant.
New Speakers for Google Home
Not only is Google working on new smart speakers with Google software. According to reports from the online magazine “9to5Google,” Walmart is also planning to launch its own smart product. The speaker listed by the Connectivity Standards Alliance (CSA) will be offered under the Onn brand.
The device is to be produced by the Chinese company Shenzhen SEI Robotics Co. for Walmart. The speaker, which comes in a cylindrical design, is equipped with three tactile buttons and a textile surface. According to the description, it supports both Wi-Fi and Bluetooth and is compatible with voice assistants, audio functions, and smart home control via Matter.
Availability and Possible Developments
It is currently unclear when the speaker will officially be released and whether it will be available outside Walmart’s sphere of influence. Walmart has not yet made an official announcement. Nevertheless, interest in such products is high, especially as a major retailer like Walmart enters the market as a third-party provider.

This development could prompt other manufacturers like JBL or Sonos to also bring new models to market. However, whether there are already concrete plans for this remains to be seen.
