Continuing to dominate the world of smart homes, Google announces the next-generation Gemini-powered Nest Cam, Nest Doorbell, and Google Home Speaker.
Google has incorporated the Gemini AI software across its Pixel smartphones and smart home devices. Stepping into the next era of Gemini, Google launched its next-generation Nest Cam Indoor, Nest Cam Outdoor and Nest Doorbell, featuring improved image quality, built-in Intelligent Alerts, and more. Alongside the launch of the Nest Cam and Doorbell, Google announces the new Google Home Speaker for March 2026.
Before diving into the latest tech, Google has unveiled a redesigned Google Home App and Gemini for Home to complement the upcoming devices. The Google Home App has been redesigned with a three-tab layout to access key areas of the user’s home easily, while being faster and less prone to crashes. Alongside the app redesign, Gemini for Home is an upgrade from Google Assistant, as it allows users to converse with Gemini naturally for assistance, activate Gemini Live for free-flowing conversation state, and understand its surroundings through the cameras and doorbells.
