Google launched its first smartwatch last year, named Pixel Watch. The company is now working on its successor, Pixel Watch 2, which is expected to go official in the coming months.
In the latest development, a new report from 9to5Google claims that the Google Pixel Watch 2 will come with significantly better battery life than its predecessor. With longer battery life, users will be able to wear the device for longer periods without having to worry about running out of power.
The report, which cites sources familiar with the matter, claims that the upcoming Google Pixel Watch 2 can last for over a day with the always-on display enabled. If some battery-saving features are enabled, then the device could last for up to two days. This indicates a major improvement given that the original model struggled to last for a day, that too with the always-on display feature disabled.
There are a few factors that help with the battery life of the upcoming Google smartwatch, including a new processor which will be more power efficient and a larger capacity battery. Pixel Watch 2 is expected to be powered by Qualcomm Snapdragon W5+ Gen 1 chip, which is claimed to be 20% more power efficient than the Snapdragon Wear 4100+ found in the Pixel Watch.
It is also said to have more health sensors embedded into the device, meaning more health-related features. The Google Pixel Watch 2 is also expected to be the first device to run Wear OS 4, an operating system from Google made especially for smartwatches. While the exact launch date is unknown, the device is expected to go official in the fall of this year.
