Google Home devices in general will also be getting some updates, such as a new Broadcast mode. Broadcast is a new feature, in which your device sends messages to all Home devices in the house, much like a home intercom.

The Home Mini will be coming to all 7 of Google’s home countries and will cost $49.

Preorders are available now, and the device will be in stores on October 19. 

Google also revealed the Google Home Max, which features the same Google Home goodness but with a smart speaker. Google Home Max uses Smart Sound to adjust the sound experience tailored to your home.
