It’s not IFA 2025 related, but Google is cooking something up for next month on Oct. 1. In a post on X, the official Made by Google account wrote, “Gemini is coming to Google Home,” suggesting that there’s new AI-powered hardware on the horizon.
The post shows what appears to be a new Nest Cam. Likely, the one that Android Headlines leaked last week. The link has since been removed, but the reblogs exist on sites like 9to5Google.

The leak shared several purported images of unreleased new Google Home products, including a new Google Nest smart speaker (teased at the Pixel 10 event) in four different colors, a wired Nest Doorbell in four colors, and new Nest Cams for indoors and outdoors in three colors. The most unusual color seems to be a red shade for the smart speakers and cameras. Who wants a red security camera indoors?
Google last released the Nest Audio smart speaker in 2020 during the height of covid-19, and we haven’t had a smaller Nest Mini since 2019. The Nest Cams haven’t been refreshed since 2021. And the Nest Doorbell, wired model, in 2022. Needless to say, Google’s Nest smart home products are due for a major refresh.
What better way to reboot its crumbling smart home ecosystem than with Gemini. It’s not like the AI chatbot hasn’t invaded the rest of Google’s products and services, including the new Pixel 10 and 10 Pros. If I were a betting man, I’d say Google is going to boast about all-new image recognition software that uses AI to better detect and identify burglars and porch pirates.
