Overview
- Tech outlets reported Monday that a Connectivity Standards Alliance database entry lists an Onn Smart Speaker from Walmart.
- The filing describes Gemini voice controls with Wi‑Fi and Bluetooth, Google Cast for Audio, a 10W driver, a far‑field mic array, physical buttons, LED indicators, and a hardware mic mute switch.
- Walmart has not announced the device, and the entry was first spotted by a Reddit user, so pricing and launch timing remain unconfirmed.
- The reports note Google’s own Google Home Speaker is expected soon, suggesting the Onn model could arrive as part of a broader Gemini‑for‑Home rollout.
- Onn is Walmart’s budget brand, and coverage expects this speaker to undercut Google’s rumored $100 price, which could widen low‑cost options after third‑party Assistant speakers faded following JBL’s 2023 Authentics line.
