Google may be working on a new smart home display. The device, referred to as Google Home Display, has been hinted at in recent months. Google's Chief Product Officer Anish Kattukaran mentioned in a 2025 interview that the company is "committed to smart displays." He also suggested that a smart display would "present itself as an incredible form factor to interact with something like Gemini for Home."
Evidence from app code and CPO interview
Evidence of the device appeared in code within the Google Home app for iOS, spotted by X user @aaronp613. Kattukaran responded to the post with an eyes emoji, fueling speculation. On Reddit, some users have speculated that the device could be wall-mounted, based on the "Display" part of the name. However, no official details about the hardware or features have been confirmed.
If real, the Google Home Display could be revealed at Google I/O 2026, which starts on May 19. The event would be a natural venue for Google to showcase new smart home hardware. The device is rumored to integrate with Google's Gemini AI assistant, as hinted by Kattukaran's comments.
Google has not confirmed the existence of the Google Home Display. The company has not provided any official specifications, pricing, or availability. The information remains speculative based on interview comments, code discoveries, and online discussions.
