Alongside a price hike on the Google TV Streamer, the Nest lineup is also seeing prices go up effective immediately on nearly every camera and doorbell that’s currently available.
As mentioned in another post, the Google TV Streamer just got a $50 price hike – a 50% increase over its original price tag. Google is also rolling out price hikes across the rest of its smart home ecosystem, the Nest lineup, though to a lesser degree.
The Google Store is now showing updated pricing across all five Nest products – the three camera models and the two doorbells, too. Prices have gone up by $20-30 in the US, around an 11% increase on most models.
The only product left unaffected, at least for now, is the Nest Cam with Floodlight bundle. It remains $279.99, with the added margin from the floodlight presumably absorbing the $20 price hike on the battery-powered Nest Cam. Google Home Speaker, Nest Learning Thermostat (4th gen), Nest Thermostat, and Nest Hub (2nd gen) are also unaffected at this time.
As it stands, this price hike is mainly seen at the Google Store, but some third-party retailers are still showing the original pricing. Check the links below to check on pricing as you may be able to place an order before prices go up! The best deal we’re seeing right now is on the Nest Cam Indoor (wired, 3rd gen) specifically in “Berry,” which Amazon is selling for around $85.
In a statement provided to 9to5Google, Google attributes the price hikes to “rising component costs.”
Due to rising component costs, we are adjusting the U.S. pricing of select Google Nest cameras, doorbells and Google TV streamer 4K, effective August 31. We remain committed to providing our customers with industry-leading smart home security and continuous feature updates.
