Mystery Google device passes through the FCC: Is it a Nest Thermostat, Hub, or speaker?
- A new Google wireless device has been filed through the FCC.
- All we know is it features Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, and 60GHz radio support.
- It’s believed to be a Nest Thermostat, but it could also be a smart speaker or display.
It seems about time for Google’s Nest Thermostat to get an upgrade, as its last iteration was released in 2020. Needless to say, it has been a bit of an ignored product within Google’s Nest product lineup. It’s also arguable that there is not much to change in a thermostat, though. Regardless, a new FCC filing has raised suspicions of a possible upcoming Nest Thermostat.
Sadly, the FCC reports don’t tell us too much. All we know is that it is a “wireless device” labeled under model GJQ8U, with Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, and 60GHz RF radios. Of course, pretty much all smart devices these days have Wi-Fi and Bluetooth. What makes everyone suspect this may be a Nest Thermostat is the 60GHz RF support, which is oddly similar to the Soli radar found on the latest Nest Thermostat.
