Google smart home gear gets deep discounts as Nest and TV Streamer updates roll out

Google’s smart home lineup is getting attention on two fronts: deals and device updates. The clearest bargain in the evidence is the Google Nest WiFi Pro 6E open-box pricing thread, with Best Buy listing a 3-pack at $137.99 and a 2-pack at $80.99. That fits a broader theme of Google home hardware showing up at sharply reduced prices. theverge.com

On the software side, Google is pushing meaningful updates to its connected devices. The Google TV Streamer has received its first major OTA of 2026, adding Thread 1.4 support and a new QR-based “Share Thread network credentials” option to simplify smart-home setup. Separately, Verizon’s Pixel Watch support pages point to Wear OS 7 for Pixel Watch 2, Pixel Watch 3, and Pixel Watch 4, though Google has not officially announced a rollout yet. androidauthority.com 9to5google.com gsmarena.com

Google is also dealing with some consumer-facing rough edges. Google confirmed a fix for a Pixel Watch bug that caused the Play Store to crash, while Gemini users saw outages even as the status page said all systems were operational. Together, the day’s Google news mixes hardware promotions, platform upgrades, and a few service hiccups. androidauthority.com androidpolice.com

Common questions on Google, surfaced from across the indexed web.

Could Google have something to say about it?

HONOR isn’t actually the first Android OEM to offer this feature. Realme debuted a similar Personal Information Protection feature back in 2020, sending blank data when an app requested certain permissions. Weirdly enough, it looks like realme may have pulled this feature to keep Google happy.

I wish Galaxy phones had this new privacy feature, but Google might nix it
Is Waze the best option?

If you've been thinking about switching to Waze, there are a number of great reasons. The most obvious one is the simplicity of Waze. Unlike Google Maps, which has become so bloated with information and features, Waze feels like a breath of fresh air when you use it. Some people also feel that Waze puts navigation first, ensuring you get to choose how you get to your destination. The app also allows users to report incidents along a route in order to create a crowdsourced database that automatically gets shared in the app. While this used to be unique, we now see this in other apps as well.

Why suffer the restrictions of the Play Store?

Google heavily sanitizes the ecosystem of applications allowed on the official Android Auto Play Store channel, routinely citing driver distraction and safety as the primary reasons for keeping the selection tight. While it makes sense to block native video apps while you are moving, these restrictions become frustrating when you must pull the phone out and use a smaller screen while your EV recharges or while you wait out a downpour at a rest stop. Devices like the CarlinKit 2air utilize their own system configurations that make it significantly easier to maintain stable connections when util

What's great about the Pixel 10a?

This is one of those phones that should be a good fit for most people. You get a beautiful yet simple design, a powerful Tensor G4 chip, along with 8GB of RAM and 128GB of storage. It also features a vibrant 6.3-inch OLED display that can reach up to 3,000 nits of brightness that has a refresh rate that can reach up to 120Hz. You get a 48MP main camera, 13MP ultrawide, and 13MP front-facing camera. It has a 5,100mAh battery, which should last most people all day. While it comes loaded with Android 16, Google does provide support for seven Android updates, which should keep things fresh for som
