Number 2 has three variants. One still rings the original doorbell, and the other two variants does not. Google is in the former category, and as far as I know, everyone else is in the other categories. Those categories have a local doorbell one plugs into an outlet, and are wirelessly activated (not dependent on WiFi), and those without a local doorbell other than the app. One surprise to me is that in the transition from Nest to Home, one can configure the local doorbell to chime or not, and it defaults to not. I guess this is good for the sleeping baby case.
1: Picture quality improvement is negligible because of the wider field of view.
2: I preferred the color saturations on the hello, in comparison to the 2k 3rd generation.
3: The video quality leaves a lot to be desired. They should’ve went with a 4K resolution sensor.
4: Colors seam washed out.
My Nest Hello was mounted using the wedge. I opted not to use it on the 3rd generation. The image above is an overlay of the images from each doorbell.
Hey \*maybe\* you'll need to replace the chime puck but I did not need to. The chime works perfectly fine on my new 3rd Gen with the puck from my old 1st gen Hello doorbell.
I don't know about OP but we can \*finally\* have conversations between the "porch person" and indoor person. With our previous gen 1, "porch person" could hear the inside person but not vice versa. And now when we have the camera showing the live view, we can hear the birds chirping. :-)
