The Google Nest Hello Doorbell tends to retail for \u00a3229 and the Google Nest Hub for \u00a359 (or \u00a379 via Google&#8217;s own store) when taken separately (total of c.\u00a3288). By comparison \u00a310 for 36 months or \u00a320 for 18 months (Smart Home Package) is equal to a total payment of \u00a3360.
