  • The new updated Nest Mini, previously known as Home Mini, just made a stop by the FCC.
  • It is expected to launch at Google's hardware event that will most likely take place on October 15.

Beyond the slight hardware changes, the earlier report also made mention of improved sound quality for the new Nest Mini, some sort of proximity awareness, and retaining a low-entry price point. Now, all we have to do is wait for the official unveiling of the new speaker which is expected to be on October 15 if this
