The Google Pixel Watch could be launched as early as May 26th, according to a trusted tipster. The company’s first smartwatch offering has been making rounds on the internet for a while now but there hasn’t been any official word on it yet. This latest piece of info, though, shows that the watch has neared the final stages of its development.
The information comes from Jon Prosser who with the same tweet says that this is the very first time “they’ve seen a set date on the device behind the scenes.” Prosser also warns that Google is known for pushing back dates but if it does, he’ll know and likely inform all about it.
The leaked launch date appears to correspond with Google’s typical dates for its I/O developer conference and it seems that the introduction of the Pixel Watch will be taking place at the event.
Coming to the smartwatch itself, the Google Pixel Watch could be codenamed “rohan” and will likely be going up against the likes of the Apple Watch. Artistic renders have revealed that the device will have a round-shaped dial with extremely slim bezels and will come in a variety of colors.
A report from last month had revealed that the Google Pixel Watch will likely be powered by a custom-made SoC built by Samsung. Some watch faces that could be featured on the device have been leaked as well and they look to be following a Material You-inspired design language — minimal yet colorful.
