Previously we saw various leaks hinting about Google’s first smartwatch after taking over the FitBit aka Pixel Watch. In the past, Google was about to introduce the Pixel Watch last year after the Pixel 6 series launch. Sadly, it didn’t happen due to the ongoing chip shortage issue. Now we have a new leak coming out from a popular tipster revealing the launch details of the new Pixel Watch.
As per Evan Blass, Google will soon introduce the new Pixel Watch globally. The tipster revealed that Pixel Watch is codenamed Rohan & is found running on the latest Wear OS 3.1 out of the box. sadly, we are still not sure about the exact launch date for the new Pixel Watch but the source expects it to launch soon.
The Pixel Watch will run on the latest Wear O 3.1 whose details are still not revealed but it should come with major improvements from Wear OS 3.0. With Google I/O being scheduled on May 11 we hope the Pixel Watch to tag along on the same date.
The source expects that Pixel Watch might come with Google Assistant Integration this year. The unique feature about this is that now Pixel Watch will come with Google Assistant built directly into the watch and will not rely on Google data centers. So technically speaking there is no need for the internet to process the data required for Google Assistant.
We also got an image showing how the Google Assistant looks on a smartwatch. From the image, we can see there are two buttons one to wake the Google Assistant. Lastly, the source also confirmed that Pixel Watch is powered by an Exynos chipset. So we can expect the Pixel Watch might ship with the same Exynos W920 SoC.
