Google plans to launch Pixel Watch 2 with Pixel 8. Fitbit smartwatches are updated every two years, while Samsung and Apple wearables are updated annually. There are reports that confirm the Google Pixel Watch 2 will arrive alongside his Pixel 8 and 8 Pro later this year.
Sources say the Pixel Watch 2 (which may not be the final name, but could match the phone’s naming scheme) is currently set to launch alongside the Pixel 8 and 8 Pro.
Google has historically announced its flagship phones and released them in October. Some might think this is an easy turnaround, but keep in mind that his original Pixel Watch was in development for several years. When a next-gen model comes out, it’s not really a year-old product — for example, it had only 1GB of RAM at one point and significantly less storage.
The Pixel Watch was unveiled at I/O 2022 after the prototype was left in his April restaurant and taken a ton of photos. What Google showed on stage last May looked much better than the leaked image.
After months of use, the Pixel Watch has held up pretty well for most users, with good performance and a battery that lasts all day, but no more. However, Google’s upgrade is clear. What improvements can be made with the Pixel Watch 2?
As reported last year, the Pixel Watch is based on the same chip as the 2018 Galaxy Watch, the Samsung Exynos 9110, and uses a 10nm process (Cortex-A53 core). but I’m using a 5nm Exynos W920 (Corex-A55). Galaxy Watch 4/5. The Snapdragon W5+ Gen 1, on the other hand, is 4nm and should power the next wave of Wear OS devices.
The new chip should lead to a variety of efficiency improvements that hopefully extend battery life. It’s unclear if Google is aiming for more than a day’s use, but the new chip should at least allow heavy users to use it for extended periods of time. is guaranteed. On the software side, we expect Material You to come to Wear OS and Android 13 to introduce Dynamic Color, which will likely serve as the next base. On the fitness front, Google focused heavily on tracking his heart rate per second with his first Pixel Watch.
More than 6 months later, I still can’t enable the overnight skin temperature and oxygen saturation (SpO2) stats in my health metrics dashboard. In terms of sensors you can add, the Fitbit Sense 2 is Google’s most advanced wearable, with a built-in skin temperature sensor instead of using existing sensors and algorithms, and a continuous skin electrode sensor (cEDA) for stress tracking. is also used. Design-wise, it’s unlikely that Google will move away from the dome-shaped design just yet.
However, the bezel could definitely be thinner. In the meantime, the band’s connector will likely remain as well, allowing 1st Gen his Pixel Watch owners to reuse the band. For Google, the Pixel Watch 2, which launches alongside the Pixel 8 and 8 Pro, represents a solid portfolio that repeats year after year.
