It’s best to think of the latest battery-powered Nest Doorbell as the Google-edition of Ring’s Video Doorbell 4. It’s sleeker, cheaper, works with Assistant and all other Google Home-powered devices, and it supports Wi-Fi 5, something Ring does not. That said, it takes a major drop in resolution, down to 1280x960, and its field of view is narrower. It basically requires a subscription to be used as a security camera, much like Ring’s unit, but at $6 per month, it’s even more expensive. Ultimately, Ring’s Video Doorbell 4 is the better buy for most people, unless they’re truly dependent on Assistant and other Nest devices.
