Upgraded sensors and charging setup of the new Pixel Watch 4 are shown more distinctly in the latest leaks
Google Pixel Watch 4: A Comprehensive Upgrade Unveiled
The tech world is abuzz with anticipation as Google prepares to unveil the Pixel Watch 4 on August 20, alongside the Pixel 10 lineup and the Pixel Buds 2a. The latest addition to the Pixel Watch series promises a significant leap forward in display, battery, charging speed, AI capabilities, and health sensors compared to its predecessor.
One of the most notable changes is the new charging system. The Pixel Watch 4 uses a Quick Charge Dock that offers 25% faster charging compared to its predecessor. The charging pins for the Pixel Watch 4 are built into the watch casing, with their locations varying according to different reports. Some suggest they are located at each end of the speaker grill, while others claim they are on the side of the watch. Regardless, the redesigned charging interface allows the Pixel Watch 4 to function as a bedside clock while docked, adding a practical and convenient touch.
In terms of health and fitness tracking, the Pixel Watch 4 is set to be a powerhouse. It supports ECG, SPO2 (blood oxygen), breathing rate, HRV (heart rate variability) tracking, and reportedly includes a Loss of Pulse Detection feature for emergency alerts. It supports over 40 exercise modes with real-time data, and can notify when to rest or resume workouts. The upgraded sensor hub in the Pixel Watch 4 should offer more accurate health and fitness tracking.
The device features a 1-60Hz AMOLED LTPO Actua 360 display available in two sizes—41mm and 45mm—with peak brightness up to 3,000 nits. This is significantly brighter than the previous generation, making the display more readable in various lighting conditions.
The Pixel Watch 4 runs on Wear OS 6 with a Material 3 Expressive user interface and boasts deep integration with Google's Gemini AI. This enables voice interactions including AI-generated responses in your own voice and hands-free "Hey Google" commands. The watch also comes in Wi-Fi and LTE variants, with some offers including free Google Fi Wireless data for two years (US only).
The Pixel Watch 4 is also rumoured to have built-in Gemini support, adding another layer of AI functionality. The redesigned charger for the Pixel Watch 4 is said to have moisture detection, ensuring the device's longevity.
In conclusion, the Pixel Watch 4 represents a significant upgrade in various aspects, making it an exciting prospect for tech enthusiasts and fitness enthusiasts alike. Stay tuned for more updates as we approach its official unveiling on August 20.
