A post by 9to5Google highlights this, stating it discovered a product page on Best Buy Canada for the Google Home Speaker. The store lists the device in Hazel and Porcelain, but the kicker is the &#8220;Release Date: June 25, 2026&#8221; marker.<\/p>\n<p>Android Central&#8217;s Take<\/p>\n<p class=\"fancy-box__body-text\">It makes sense that Best Buy likely slipped up with the reveal date and removed it as soon as it realized the mistake. I was expecting to see something about the Home Speaker during I\/O, but Google was surprisingly quiet. It&#8217;ll be interesting to see where Gemini for Home is by then, too.<\/p>\n<p id=\"elk-2fea7319-5b93-49e5-a849-99da695f5e31-0\">The product is listed for $139. You&#8217;ll have to remember that this is in CAD, not USD. The publication did some extra digging, noting that this date doesn&#8217;t appear on the U.S. Best Buy website. However, this date is also no longer appearing on the Canadian version. We checked today (Jun 1), and the retailer has removed the date, likely because it wasn&#8217;t supposed to be shown yet.<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"inline-flex items-center gap-1.5 text-sm font-article-heading capitalize leading-5 text-white whitespace-nowrap\"><span class=\"jwp-carousel-title-mobile\"\/><span class=\"jwp-carousel-title-desktop\">Latest Videos From<\/span><span class=\"jwp-carousel-brand inline-flex items-center\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><\/span><\/span><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" data-new-v2-image=\"true\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/flexiimages\/c8t5znsqpd1648225513.svg\" data-pin-media=\"https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/flexiimages\/c8t5znsqpd1648225513.svg\" class=\"rounded-[var(--image--border-radius,0)] max-h-12 w-auto\"\/><br \/>\n        <span class=\"\n            flex\n            after:content-[''] after:flex-1 after:ml-4 after:my-[0.7rem] after:border-t after:border-solid after:border-t-[#ccc]\n            before:content-[''] before:flex-1 before:mr-4 before:my-[0.7rem] before:border-t before:border-solid before:border-t-[#ccc]\n            font-article-heading pb-0 text-[length:var(--article-river-title--font-size,1em)] uppercase sm:text-[length:var(--article-river-title--font-size,0.875em)] font-bold\n        \"><br \/>\n            You may like<br \/>\n        <\/span><\/p>\n<p>The rest of the product listing is pretty standard, offering a small blurb: &#8220;Brilliant 360-degree sound meets Gemini magic in this Google Home smart speaker.
