Unlike the current models, the thermostat in the image doesn't have a metal body or even a traditional LCD -- it's all plastic. The temperatures are displayed as colorful numbers on the white plastic screen, which might or might not be touch-enabled. Bloomberg said the more affordable Nest will (understandably) be equipped with less expensive components and could be available sometime in 2018. We'll just have to wait for more info on what the sub-$200 thermostat can and can't do compared to its more expensive siblings.
