Google is developing a new device with radar technology labeled as GJQ8U.
Speculation suggests it could be a new Nest Thermostat or smart speaker.
The device passed through FCC for Wi-Fi, Bluetooth and radar sensor testing.
Google is reportedly working on a new device that passed through the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) with 60GHz radar technology, similar to Soli. The device, which has been labeled as a 'wireless device' with model number GJQ8U, was tested for Wi-Fi and Bluetooth connectivity along with the radar sensor. While there is no definitive information on what the device could be, some speculate that it might be a new Nest Thermostat or even a smart speaker.
Google's last major update to its Nest Learning Thermostat was in 2011, and many believe that an upgrade is long overdue. The use of Soli radar technology could potentially bring new features to the thermostat, such as motion detection or gesture control. However, it's also possible that the device could be a smart speaker or display.
The FCC filings do not provide much information on the device beyond its wireless capabilities and labeling requirements. Google has been quiet about any upcoming hardware releases, so it remains to be seen what this new wireless device will bring to the table.
Stay tuned for more updates as more information becomes available.

The article contains a few informal fallacies and an appeal to authority. It presents the radar feature as a potential indicator for future Google devices, implying that it might be used for purposes beyond motion sensing, without providing concrete evidence.
. . . although we have some vague ideas.
What does the radar do? If it’s implemented like it was in the 2020 Nest Thermostat, then it’s really just used to notice when you are near. It’s a motion sensing tech, essentially, to know that you are close and might want to know the current temperature or to adjust something.
If you find out that this is instead a pair of smart glasses from Google with radar capabilities, let us know.
A new Google wireless device with model number GJQ8U has been filed through the FCC.
It is believed to be a Nest Thermostat due to the 60GHz RF support similar to Soli radar found in the latest Nest Thermostat.
The FCC reports don’t provide much information on the device, but its 60GHz RF support is oddly similar to the Soli radar found in the latest Nest Thermostat.
Accuracy
The device may be a new Nest Thermostat.
It features Wi-Fi and Bluetooth radios, as well as 60GHz radar similar to Soli.
