Can’t decide between the Ring Video Doorbell 3 and Ring Video Doorbell 4? These are the key differences to help you buy.
As the Amazon Prime Day deals are impending, you’re probably wondering whether now is the time to invest in a video doorbell — so we’re here to help you work out which will fit you better. The Ring Video Doorbell 4, Ring’s latest smart doorbell, which can be battery-operated or mains-powered, is now on sale in the US, UK and Australia. Designed to replace the Ring Video Doorbell 3, which was released in early 2020 and made it onto our best video doorbells list, the Ring Video Doorbell 4 looks identical to its predecessor. With only a slightly higher price tag on the newer model, it can be tough to spot the differences that actually exist between the two video doorbells. Well, we’ve gone through the specs to show you where the key differences exist and whether you want to go for the more expensive model this year. Here’s all the details you need to help you decide which one to go for while we build our full Ring Video Doorbell 4 review. Know which Ring video doorbell you want? Then check out the best prices right now for Ring’s full range of video doorbells. Every year we see Ring Doorbells dropping in price on Prime Day, as Amazon’s own-brand devices get the heaviest discount from the retailer — really, there’s very little better time to buy (other than Black Friday or Cyber Monday) and we’re already seeing early Prime Day deals on the Ring Video Doorbell 3 before the day itself. You’ll often see the Ring Doorbell bundled with an Echo (to play the sound when someone pressed your doorbell) or an Echo Show, so you can actually see who’s at the door — we recommend waiting for those, as they can lead to some stellar savings. For instance, we saw $30 off the Ring Video Doorbell 3 last year on Prime Day, and we’re expecting to see an even better saving this year as the newer model comes onto the market and drives the prices down further for the older Ring Doorbells. The Ring Video Doorbell 4 is Ring’s latest versatile video doorbell that can be battery-operated or connected to mains power. It is priced at $199.99 / £179 / AU$329, which is the same price as its predecessor.
