A new Nest Cam could be on the way soon, according to an FCC listing for a "wireless streaming device".

The list for "G3AL9" made its way through the FCC on Sunday night (March 28), though it's not clear when the camera might really arrive. Just assuming it's non too far abroad, it would hateful there'd be a new slice of hardware to use with your shiny new Nest Hub 2.

The listing, unearthed by 9to5Google, states that the device has a rechargeable three.65Vdc battery plus Wi-Fi and Bluetooth connectivity. It also features an FCC ID at the "back of the device", and 9to5Google points out that this suggests in that location's no screen.

All of that would fit with the launch of a new Nest Cam. Google has already promised that newer cameras would be arriving this year, and information technology ties in perfectly with the idea of a "wireless streaming device" that doesn't have a screen.

Google has promised "interesting new innovations", so there are likely to exist other devices on the manner too. Yet, our gut is telling united states of america that this is indeed some sort of camera; we tin't call back of any other streaming-capable devices without screens that would still demand a battery.

Further show lies in the fact that Google hasn't fabricated any changes to its Nest camera line-upward for the by iii years, and that the Nest Cam IQ Outdoor has reportedly been out of stock since the start of the yr.

The merely question is when the new camera might go far. The newly-unveiled Nest Hub 2 striking the FCC back in Jan, and launched only a few weeks ago. If the new device follows a similar timeline, we'd therefore await information technology to make it in a few months — although the FCC's confidentiality last until September 24, and so information technology could be that we don't come across it until late summertime.

Nosotros're going to have to be patient in either case. Merely at least we know this isn't the only new device Google is working on. We've already started hearing news nigh the Pixel 5a and the Pixel half-dozen, likewise as rumors of a new pair of Pixel Buds.
