Google has been rumoured to be working on the second iteration of the Pixel Watch for quite some time now, and it seems that the wait may soon be over. According to a report by 9to5Google, the tech giant is set to launch its new Pixel Watch 2 later this year alongside its upcoming Pixel 8 and 8 Pro phones.
Pixel Watch 2 will likely sport a New Chip with Longer Battery Life
This is an exciting development for fans of Google‘s wearable tech, especially since the company’s last smartwatch, the Pixel Watch, was reportedly in development for several years. Although it was only released in 2022, the original Pixel Watch had already undergone multiple iterations, including having only 1GB of RAM at one point.
One of the key upgrades expected in the Pixel Watch 2 is a new chip, which will likely be more efficient than the Exynos 9110 chip used in the original model. This should lead to longer battery life and better performance overall, making the new smartwatch a more appealing option for heavy users.
In addition to hardware upgrades, the watch is also expected to come with some significant software improvements. The device is likely to feature Google’s new Material You design language, which was introduced in Android 12 and offers more dynamic and customizable interfaces. Wear OS is also set to receive an update, and Google is expected to add new fitness tracking features, such as overnight skin temperature and oxygen saturation stats.
Despite these improvements, some aspects of the Pixel Watch 2 are likely to remain unchanged. The watch is expected to feature a similar design to its predecessor, with a dome-shaped face and relatively thick bezels. However, the band connector is likely to remain the same, which means that owners of the first-gen Pixel Watch will be able to reuse their straps.
The launch of the Pixel Watch 2 alongside the Pixel 8 and 8 Pro will make for a strong lineup from Google, and it will be interesting to see how the company’s latest smartwatch stacks up against competitors from Apple and Samsung. Recent rumors have also stated that the Pixel Fold may include a free Pixel Watch for promotional purposes. With a focus on both hardware and software improvements, the Pixel Watch 2 could be the must-have wearable of the year.
