Finding a good deal on popular smart home gear is always welcome, and right now, there’s a solid price drop on one of Google’s core Nest products. The versatile Nest Doorbell (Battery) is currently available for a substantial discount, making it a great time to upgrade your front door security.
While the Google Store also has the Nest Doorbell (Battery) on sale, Walmart is offering an even better price. You can pick up the battery-powered model for just $129.98 right now, a full $50 off its regular $179.99 MSRP. This undercuts the Google Store’s current sale price ($139.99) by $10, making Walmart the clear winner if you’re looking to buy.


This doorbell stands out for its simple, wire-free installation, running entirely off its built-in rechargeable battery. This makes it a fantastic option for renters or anyone not wanting to fuss with existing doorbell wiring (though it can be wired for continuous power and chime integration if desired).
Even without wiring, you get the core smart features Google is known for. The Nest Doorbell (Battery) intelligently detects motion and can differentiate between people, packages, animals, and vehicles, sending relevant alerts directly to your phone via the Google Home app. It captures clear HDR video with a head-to-toe view, includes night vision, and offers two-way audio so you can communicate with visitors from anywhere. You even get three hours of event video history for free, with options to upgrade via a Nest Aware subscription for longer storage.
For $129.98, snagging a feature-rich, easy-to-install video doorbell from Google is a compelling proposition. This $50 discount really just makes an already solid smart home device even more attractive.
