What the differences mean
Video and night vision
The Wyze Video Doorbell v2 records in 2K with color night vision, over a 135 by 103 degree view. The Blink Video Doorbell (2nd Gen) is HD with black-and-white night vision and a taller 150 by 150 degree view that shows more of the ground.
Storage
The Wyze Video Doorbell v2 has a microSD slot and lists 24/7 video history and offline history. The Blink Video Doorbell (2nd Gen) has no local storage, and its history, 24/7 live view beyond 5 minutes and event clips need a subscription.
Smart home
Both work with Alexa and Home Assistant. The Wyze Video Doorbell v2 also supports Google Home and offers RTSP, and the Blink Video Doorbell (2nd Gen) supports neither.
Privacy zones and weather
The Blink Video Doorbell (2nd Gen) lists privacy zones and IP65 weather resistance, and the Wyze Video Doorbell v2 lists no privacy zones. Only the Wyze offers automatic replies.
Size
The Wyze Video Doorbell v2 measures 110 x 44 x 24 mm and the Blink Video Doorbell (2nd Gen) 130 x 47 x 36.6 mm, so the Wyze is the slimmer one on the door frame.

What owners say
Owners of both doorbells praise the head-to-toe view that catches packages, an easy install and Alexa support, and both groups run into a paywall for the smart features. Blink Video Doorbell (2nd Gen) owners single out the low cost, the included Sync Module and batteries with optional wiring to a chime, and complain that the new Sync Module drops local storage, that motion sensitivity cannot be changed, that some units had quality problems and that it drops offline in extreme cold. Wyze Video Doorbell v2 owners single out excellent color night vision, sharp 2K video, recording to a microSD card with no mandatory fee and working with an existing mechanical chime. They warn about false alerts and a five minute cooldown without the optional plan, occasional drop-outs, a delay before the chime rings and a flimsy mounting plate.
