aosu Video Doorbell R1 Ultra vs Google Nest Doorbell (wired, 3rd Gen)

Full Smart Doorbells comparison in 2026

Updated September 2026
Data from Amazon and official aosu and Google sites.
2026 verdict
Google Nest Doorbell (wired, 3rd Gen) takes this matchup thanks to its free on-device intelligence, separating people, packages, animals and vehicles without a subscription, and pairing that with 2K HDR video in a square 166 degree diagonal frame, six hours of free event history, custom indoor and outdoor ringtones, Home Assistant support alongside Google Home and Alexa, and live video on a Nest Hub when someone rings. aosu Video Doorbell R1 Ultra costs less and holds two clear advantages: a 5MP sensor behind a seven-element glass lens, and an included aosuBase Mini that stores 8GB with 60-day loop recording, so long history costs nothing, plus radar and PIR detection with adjustable zones and the option of battery power for a wire-free install. Its package and familiar-face alerts require a plan and it works only with Google Home and Alexa. Buy aosu Video Doorbell R1 Ultra for maximum resolution and two months of free history; buy Google Nest Doorbell (wired, 3rd Gen) for the smartest free alerts in a Google home.
