Gear News of the Week: Google's Next-Gen Nest Cams Are Coming, and Sony Debuts a New Xperia Phone
"Google has accidentally leaked its new Nest security cameras and video doorbell line. Setup options appeared in the Google Home app for wired versions of the Nest Cam Indoor (3rd gen), Nest Cam Outdoor (2nd gen), and Nest Doorbell (3rd gen), as reported by Android Authority. The options now appear to have been removed, but an eagle-eyed Redditor also found the new products locked up at Home Depot, ready to go on sale."
"These overdue updates are rumored to include a resolution bump to 2K, a new zoom and crop feature, fresh colors, and a switch to Gemini for Home. There's also talk of a new subscription option as Nest Aware turns into Google Home Premium, and a new Google Home Premium Advanced plan. Details haven't been confirmed, so take all of this with a pinch of salt."
"As for the design of the new lineup, they look almost identical to the existing range, aside from the colors, which include an eye-catching red. Perhaps in preparation for the new releases, the Nest team recently updated the Home app to provide preview images from the last event before the live view loads, swiping between timeline and events, and better notifications with a static thumbnail expandable to a large animated preview. There was also a raft of performance improvements and some much-needed polish."
Google accidentally exposed setup options for wired Nest Cam Indoor (3rd gen), Nest Cam Outdoor (2nd gen), and Nest Doorbell (3rd gen) in the Google Home app, and a Redditor found products at Home Depot. Google plans to integrate Gemini into Google Home on October 1, replacing Google Assistant, and will likely unveil new hardware then. Rumored updates include 2K resolution, zoom-and-crop, new colors including red, and subscription changes as Nest Aware becomes Google Home Premium with an Advanced tier. The Home app received preview-image, timeline swiping, improved notifications, and performance polish. Sony will not launch the Xperia 10 VII in the US.
