The Nest Doorbell 2K may incorporate HDR video recording and support for Gemini AI.
A new line of smart home devices from Google is on the horizon, and a recent leak has provided us with a glimpse at the retail packaging and specifications of the upcoming Google Nest Doorbell 2K.
During the Pixel 10 series launch event, Google hinted at the imminent introduction of new smart home devices. Shortly afterward, the company shared another teaser on X/Twitter declaring that Gemini is coming to Google Home on October 1, while also hinting at the new Nest Cam. Since then, the upcoming Nest items have been detected within the Google Home app.
Now, a fresh leak offers us our initial view of the Nest Doorbell 2K’s packaging and some of its features. A Reddit user named one2zerojigawat allegedly obtained the smart doorbell nearly three weeks prior to its launch (via Android Authority).
Similar to other recent Google gadgets, the Nest Doorbell 2K will arrive in streamlined packaging. The box verifies the official designation as “Nest Doorbell 2K” instead of Nest Doorbell 3rd gen. It also indicates whether the doorbell is wired or wireless, alongside notable Gemini branding.
On the reverse side, the packaging discloses specifications such as 2K resolution, HDR video, a 166-degree field of view, night vision, two-way audio, and resistance to weather conditions. Inside the package, you’ll discover the doorbell, chime, base plate, a 20-degree wedge, wire connector, and screws/anchors.
The most intriguing aspect of the packaging, however, is a label at the bottom: “Subscription (sold separately) required for specific features, including Gemini and various AI experiences.” While the precise features we can anticipate from the new doorbell are not listed, they are likely associated with Nest Aware being rebranded as Google Home Premium, along with a more expensive tier dubbed Google Home Premium Advanced.
We still lack information regarding the pricing or availability of the new Nest Doorbell 2K, but with Google poised to provide updates on Gemini and smart home technology on October 1, all the surrounding news about Google’s latest smart home devices should be announced in just a few days.
