The Mountain View, California-based company launched the offer on Monday, though you’ll need to hurry as it will only run “while supplies last.”
To secure your own free Google Home smart speaker, you’ll have to purchase Google’s newest smartphone via its online store, a transaction that’ll set you back $769 for the 32GB version of the 5.5-inch phone.
