We could soon get a successor to the Google Home smart speaker, according to details obtained from a recent FCC filing.

9to5Google spotted the filing, which initially included a model number (GXCA6), an FCC ID, Wi-Fi and Bluetooth details and the name ‘Wireless Device.’ It wasn’t immediately clear which device it was. Further, the model number didn’t fit with any of Google’s existing product lines, with ‘G’ models typically representing Pixel phones and ‘H’ usually seen on smart speakers and displays.

However, it appears the GXCA6 device also passed through a regulatory authority in Japan and, thanks to Twitter account ‘Android TV Guide’ (@androidtv_rumor), several images of the mystery product leaked. Based on these images, it seems the GXCA6 is Google’s rumoured upcoming smart speaker codenamed ‘Prince.’

It still isn’t clear what Google plans to call this speaker, but since it seems poised to replace the Google Home, my guess is it will sport Nest branding like the new Nest Mini. Likely, it will just be the ‘Nest Speaker.’
