    GadgetGuyHands-on review · 2024

    A capable battery doorbell that restores colour pre-roll and adds Bird's Eye View and better night colour.

    PickrHands-on review · 2024

    A clever, easy-to-install battery doorbell with useful pre-roll and head-to-toe video, recommended despite a questionable Bird's Eye View and an old charging port.

    A feature-packed, reasonably priced doorbell with sharp 4K video and long battery life.

    CNETHands-on review · 2026

    The reviewer finds this the most capable doorbell he has tested, with top-end video and AI extras, but says the package alerts, Alexa greetings and sprawling settings are not yet polished.

    Homes and GardensNo printed score · Hands-on review · 2025

    Excellent video, audio and battery life after a month of use, but expensive and barely better than the Plus, so the reviewer would often pick the cheaper model.

    T3No printed score · Hands-on review · 2024

    A strong flagship battery doorbell with sharp video, great night vision and clearer audio that justifies its price, though Ring's protection plan is costly.

    TechRadarNo printed score · Hands-on review

    Performs excellently and reliably, with better motion detection than the Plus, but the reviewer finds the small upgrades not worth the higher price and the best features sit behind a subscription.
