It is official, folks: Google is releasing its Home and Home Mini smart speakers in India. Better late than never, as it has been over an year since both devices have been released on other markets. Their Indian prices are Rs 9,999 (around $154) and Rs 4,499 (roughly $69) respectively – more than in the US, since India prices tend to be that way for some or other economical reasons. On the bright side, buying Home or Home Mini in India comes with a few perks: six-month subscription to Google Play Music, discounts on Gaana and Saavn music services and, last but not least, a 10% cash return when buying with an HDFC Bank credit card. Every of the retailers offering the devices, namely Reliance Digital, Flipkart, JioFi and Croma will also add their own little bonuses to the purchase. Home will only be available in white, while Home Mini will come in white, black and, in the future, coral colour variants.

Cool.
