With the Google launch event being just around the corner, here’s our roundup for the Pixel Watch and everything we know so far regarding the company’s first smartwatch. So let’s have a look at its specs, design, pricing, and more.

Design

Over the last couple of weeks, the design of the Pixel Watch has been completely revealed. The upcoming smartwatch from the Search engine giant will have a circular display panel, along with a digital crown on the right side. During the I/O event, we can see the Pixel Watch will arrive in at least one silver option, although, there are also rumors for a black and gold color variant.

The smartwatch appears to have a minimalistic design alongside interchangeable bands that would offer the users more customization. As per rumors, there will be several different straps like a link bracelet, fabric band, and even two kinds of leather straps, silicone brands, Milanese style mesh band and a stretchable band as well.

Specs & Features

While the outer appearance and design has been officially teased, Google has yet to reveal any finer details regarding the internal hardware of the Pixel Watch. Based on what we know so far, the smartwatch will have the same sensor as the Samsung Galaxy Watch 4. In other words, it will have the same ‘BioActive Sensor’ that is capable of monitoring the heart rate, ECG, and even body fat percentage. Another report claims, that the health sensors will also be capable of reading SpO2 blood oxygen mapping as well.

It is rumored that the Pixel Watch will be equipped with a 10nm Exynos 9110 chipset, however, there is also possible that the device houses a Snapdragon W5+ and W5 chipsets. Apart from this, the new smartwatch is expected to have 1.5GB of RAM and 32GB of internal storage. Under the hood, a 300mAh battery pack will reportedly power the device, which should offer the same battery life as the Apple Watch, which is 18 hours.

Google will launch the Pixel Watch with its own Wear OS platform, which has even powered smartwatches from the likes of TicWatch and Fossil as well. With this operating system, we can also expect Google Fit, Photos, GPay, and even Play Store for smartwatches. Being a modern day smartwatch, we can safely assume that the device will offer physical activity tracking with dedicated sports modes built in, and even other fitness tracking features.

Pricing

The pricing for the Pixel Watch has been rumored in various different reports. Prior to the launch event, an online listing found that the Pixel Watch may have a price tag of 349 US Dollars for it GPS + Bluetooth only variant. Meanwhile, the LTE enabled version will supposedly cost 399 US Dollars. With a price tag like this, the Pixel Watch is Google’s flagship smartwatch model that will rival the likes of Samsung Galaxy Watch 5 and Apple Watch Series 8.

Youtube launched its Premium subscription service back in 2018. The video streaming website provides users with a variety of features as part of the premium plan. The YouTube subscription service’s standout feature is its ad-free user experience.

Users who subscribe to YouTube’s premium plan can watch videos and listen to music without being interrupted by advertisements. Ads will appear in between videos for those who do not have a premium subscription. In order to entice more users to subscribe to its service, the company is reportedly testing plans to make 4K video playback a premium feature.

Non-premium YouTube users can currently consume content at the highest possible 4K resolution with ads in between. The resolution for video playback for non-premium users is likely to be capped soon. According to Reddit posts, YouTube has been seen testing 4K video playback as a premium feature. There has been no official word on the matter, but if the company decides to pass it as a premium feature, users will have to watch videos on YouTube at 1440p with ads or subscribe to the ad-free plan.

With more and more people buying 4K smart TVs these days, the Alphabet-owned company could be trying to convert these users into YouTube prime subscribers. Aside from no advertisements, the premium plan allows users to download videos, watch videos with the picture-in-picture feature, and access millions of songs on YouTube Music.

Anker seems to have upped its stakes in the wireless earbuds segment of the audio industry. The Anker Soundcore Liberty 4 Earbuds are reputed to be the first earbuds to come with 24-hour heart rate tracking.

The just released Soundcore Liberty 4 has an in-ear heart rate sensor that allows users to monitor their heart rate. Apple’s AirPods Pro 2 was rumored to be considering heart rate monitoring but the honor will go to the Soundcore Liberty 4 instead.

The new Anker earbuds come with a stem design and the special heart rate sensor is on the right-hand earbud. The heart rate sensor can continuously monitor your heart rate or during a workout. The Soundcore Liberty 4 comes with spatial audio support, customizable EQ settings, active noise cancelation, and AAC/LDAC/SBC codec support. The new Anker premium earbuds also feature multiple connection switching but lack aptX support. It has a battery life of 9 hours and reduces to 5 hours with spatial audio active.

When the Soundcore Liberty 4 Earbuds are connected to Anker’s Wellness app, users can explore lots of detail and tracking options. The app also allows for customized exercise routines and guided lifestyle options. You can charge the Liberty 4 wirelessly using its wireless charging case. The charging case offers up to 28 hours of battery life and 15 minutes of charging can deliver up to 3 hours of playback. The earbuds can thus be fully charged under an hour.

The Anker Soundcore Liberty 4 is priced at $149.99 with two color options – black or white. The white version of the earbuds will go on sale on October 7, while the black version is expected on October 10. You can get the Liberty 4 Earbuds from the Soundcore website or Amazon. It remains to be seen how the new heart rate monitoring feature will spur demand for the Soundcore Liberty 4.
