Additionally, it supports the creation of a 3D surround sound system by pairing two “Google Home Speaker” units with a “Google TV Streamer.” The official price is 16,800 yen including tax.
While there are four color variations available globally—”Porcelain,” “Jade,” “Berry,” and “Hazel”—as is typical for the Japanese market, only the “Porcelain” and “Hazel” options will be available.
