A video doorbell will give you peace of mind as extra protection for your home. If you’re thinking of buying one for Prime Day, we highly recommend the Google Nest Doorbell, especially since you can get it with a 33% discount from Amazon. Instead of its sticker price of $180, you’ll only have to pay $120 for this security device, but you should hurry as the shopping event is drawing to a close. Once this offer ends, we’re not sure when you’ll get another chance at it, so buy it now if you want to pocket the savings of $60.

Why you should buy the Google Nest Doorbell

Our review of the Google Nest Doorbell gave it an impressive score of 4 stars out of 5 stars, which is enough to propel it to the top spot of our roundup of the best video doorbells. We described it as an “intelligent and beautifully designed” device, as it combines a modern design with practical features that will benefit every household. First and foremost though, it’s very easy to install as it can go wireless with its built-in battery, and once you connect it to your home’s Wi-Fi network, it will be up and running.

Using the Google Home app, you’ll be able to see what’s outside your front door with the Google Nest Doorbell’s live HD video and night vision. It also offers three hours of video history, which is a feature that is usually behind a subscription for other video doorbells. You’ll be able to talk and listen to visitors and delivery people, either through the app or a compatible smart display.

For those who want to buy a video doorbell for Prime Day, make it the Google Nest Doorbell, which is on sale at 33% off for a lowered price of $120 from $180 originally. It’s a steal with the $60 in savings, so you better make sure that you finalize your purchase for this security device before the shopping event ends. For additional protection for your family, you may also want to take a look at the home security camera deals that Amazon is offering for Prime Day.

Google Home’s Interactive Storytime feature has me wondering who actually asked for this
Google Home gets interactive AI storytime, smarter alarms, and broader camera support.

Google Home's latest update introduces several new features, including Gemini-powered Interactive Storytime. While I’m not sure who asked for the feature, it lets families build original stories about specific topics on the fly, instead of just listening to a known story. 

So what's the big new feature here?

Proxima wants to move blood tests into the home, and it has cleared an important early hurdle
The portable analyzer delivers blood-count results in about 20 minutes, but its promise depends on transparent clinical data
Furniture, Table, Desk

Algocyte’s Proxima is designed to run blood-count tests from a small finger-prick sample and send the results to a clinician in about 20 minutes. For patients who need frequent monitoring, that could mean fewer trips to a clinic or laboratory.

The device has also moved beyond the concept stage. Proxima carries UK conformity credentials, while Algocyte operates under a certified medical-device quality system. Those steps give the project more weight than a prototype shown at a launch event.

Remember Samsung’s Ballie home robot? It may finally be inching closer to reality
Leaked app wireframes give the strongest hint yet that Samsung's Ballie home robot, first shown at CES 2020, might still be headed toward an actual release.

Samsung's rolling home robot has been the industry's longest-running "will it ever actually ship" joke, and I'll admit I'd mostly given up on it. Now, there's finally a glimmer of hope.

Samsung first unveiled Ballie as a concept at CES 2020. Then, it showed it as a significantly upgraded version four years later. However, the company never confirmed a release date or committed to releasing it at all.
