The design language for Google’s upcoming wearable has already leaked from a user who claims to have found a test device left in a restaurant in the United States. But now, according to 9to5Google, the Pixel Watch may have a relatively large 300 mAh battery and some models may be available with cellular connectivity.
To put this into perspective, the Samsung Galaxy Watch 4 has a 247 mAh battery for the 40mm version of a similar size, while the 41mm version of the Apple Watch Series 7 has a 284 mAh battery. Also, the Skagen Falster Gen 6 has exactly the same battery size at 300mAh.
But those numbers don’t mean much until we have more context for the device’s internal elements, including what chipset it can use. Some codes found in a Google update earlier than 9to5Google seem to indicate that it may be powered by Samsung’s Exynos chipset instead of the Snapdragon chipset.
Other leaks suggest that the smartwatch may also be available with the Snapdragon 4100 or Snapdragon 4100+ chipset, or perhaps even with a wearable version of Google’s custom Tensor processor. Users should note that the real life of the device’s battery is highly dependent on its internal specifications, display power consumption and optimizations made by the company.
Another detail that has not yet been confirmed is how the smartphone will be charged and whether it will come with any support for fast charging. There was no charger with the test module found in a restaurant, but there is a possibility that the Pixel Watch can be charged from the back of the watch like the Apple Watch.
Images of the device, previously obtained from Android Central, confirm the design language, which is likely to include a minimalist design in the shape of a stone with a crown. The images also suggest that the watch may use Google’s own watch straps. The watch could be unveiled at Google’s I / O conference, scheduled for May 11 and May 12 this year, although I / O is usually the place where software messages tend to dominate.
