Credit: CSA TL;DR A new Onn smart speaker from Walmart has surfaced early, and it appears to run Google’s Gemini instead of Assistant. The listing on the Connectivity Standards Alliance website confirms key features like Google Cast for Audio, smart home controls, and a built-in mic with a kill switch. This could mark the return of third-party smart speakers powered by Google’s newer AI assistant, though launch timing remains unclear.
