Google has increased the price of its Google TV Streamer by $50 to $149.99 in the United States, as well as raising the cost of select Nest cameras and doorbells. The change comes as the company cites rising component costs, particularly for RAM, which are impacting the Pixel 11 series and Pixel Watch 5. Although the Google TV Streamer, which features 4 GB of RAM and 32 GB of storage, has been available at the higher price on the Google Store and Best Buy, other retailers such as Amazon are still selling the device at the original price as of Monday afternoon.

The Google Home Speaker remains at $99.99, likely incorporating the component cost increases during its June launch. In a statement to 9to5Google, Google emphasized that they are committed to providing customers with smart home security and continuous feature updates despite the price adjustments.
