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.

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.
