Best Ring Video Doorbells of 2026: All the Latest Ring Featuers

The latest Ring doorbell also features some of its best aspects, including a particularly wide field of view and built-in options to manually charge the removable battery or connect the doorbell to a constant power source. The motion detection is backed by the best Ring video features, including 3D detection and Bird’s-Eye Views, which, when enabled, provide tracked paths that moving objects took while in view. It also has extra features like Quick Replies you can set for premade instructions as well, and standards like two-way audio and night vision (in color for this model).

The resolution is also an interesting upgrade that only the latest Ring doorbells have, offering “HD Plus” 1536p video for a bit of extra detail. The traditional Ring caveats still apply: Smart home compatibility is primarily limited to Alexa, and object recognition or video storage will require a Ring Protect plan.

Our review also found that the doorbell is a bit bulkier and lacks some of the compact durability of similar models like the Google Nest doorbell. But in all, this large, powerful cam is Ring’s best option, especially for those looking for excellent video that captures a broad area in front of their home.

Ring’s newer doorbell is an excellent roundup of features from years past that’s only $100 and frequently on sale for much less, making it easy to find this doorbell for about $50. Not only does it have an updated plug-in charging design that I really like (you have to bring the doorbell inside, but the structural design is far better), but there are new extras like a larger head-to-toe video field of view. The 1,440×1,440-pixel resolution is also a nice middle ground for capturing detail without getting too expensive.

Common features like two-way audio, smart alerts and object detection (with subscription) are all available here, and because it’s a battery model, you can put this Ring doorbell nearly anywhere.

Ring’s latest video doorbell, on sale in late 2025, features a significant upgrade to 4K resolution and more intelligence than ever before. That includes Retinal Vision, which helps sharpen important details when examining video footage and clearer audio, as well as standbys like 3D Motion Detection.

AI tricks like Ring’s video descriptions are available, and Ring has developed unique extras like Alexa Plus conversational greetings to answer the door for you in greater depth. And don’t forget the expanded Search Party functionality to help local pet owners find their lost furry friends, an opt-in feature via the Ring Neighborhood app.

If you want the latest Ring with all the best features, this is the model for you. The biggest downside is that it’s wired only, which doesn’t work with every porch, so check your original doorbell wiring first.

Those looking for a cheap video doorbell that will save them money — while offering all the benefits of a Ring Protect plan and similar features — can’t do much better than this wired model. It still includes all the essential basics, such as night vision, two-way audio and a good field of view. However, you will need to place it where your existing doorbell is, which can limit some of your options.

You don’t need to live in an apartment to use the Ring Peephole Cam, but it’s specially designed for people in apartments or those who don’t have room for a doorbell. It really can act as a digital doorway peephole in the traditional sense, but the real value comes from all the video doorbell features you get in such a compact package.

Those features include a surprisingly large field of view for such a small device, two-way audio communication and motion detection with adjustable motion zones. The HD cam is battery powered with Ring’s quick-release battery, which makes installation especially easy. There’s even a feature that detects knocks if you’re not at home to hear them.
