The Google Pixel Watch could have a longer battery life than its rivals. Republicworld.com, citing the news story of 9To5Google, said that a 300 mAh battery will be included in the next Google Pixel Watch. According to the report, the forthcoming Wear OS device would also include cellular connectivity. Although the exact models that will support this feature are unknown, three possible variants have recently been discovered online.
Google Pixel Watch Allegedly Has Larger Battery Capacity Than Samsung Galaxy Watch 4
As per Republicworld.com, the Samsung Galaxy Watch 4 currently has a 247mAh battery and has a battery life of close to 24 hours. The Pixel Watch would outperform the Galaxy Watch 4 if it came with a 300mAh battery. The Google Pixel Watch is also 4mm thicker and 10 grams heavier than the Samsung Galaxy Watch 4, according to the report, because the larger battery requires more room.
However, Android Central noted that it's unclear whether this battery capacity will be shared by all of the Pixel Watch's speculated variants. However, this battery capacity is likely to be featured on the 40mm variant that was recently sighted in a restaurant in the U.S.
The report also emphasized that determining a device's endurance merely based on battery capacity is difficult. However, based on this leak and the possibility that the wristwatch will run Wear OS 3, the Pixel Watch will most likely have a longer battery life than the Galaxy Watch 4.
Google Pixel Watch Is Rumored To Support Cellular Connectivity
Citing the 9To5Google report, that the smartwatch will include cellular connectivity, thus it will not be dependent on a smartphone for connectivity. It's unclear whether this will be consistent across all of the company's models, but it'll almost surely be available on at least one.
The Pixel Watch is expected to cost between $300 and $400, which is similar to the Galaxy Watch 4 Classic's pricing range. This indicates that Google intends to take on Samsung in the wearables market.
When Google's I/O 2022 event kicks off on May 11, we'll likely learn more about the first Made by Google smartwatch.
Samsung's Chipset Could Be Used in the Google Pixel Watch
Separately, Republicworld.com mentioned that apart from the battery capacity, it would be fascinating to discover what software improvements Google makes to boost the device's effective battery life. It's not surprising that Google would use Samsung's Exynos W920 chipset, given that Samsung used Google's Wear OS instead of its own in the Galaxy Watch 4.
Previous Reports Said Google Pixel Watch Has Been Spotted on the Bluetooth Sig Certification Website
The Google Pixel Watch has been found on the Bluetooth SIG certification site ahead of its formal launch. According to the listing, the company may release three different smartwatch models. Google recently filed a trademark for the device, suggesting that it will be known as the Pixel Watch.
As previously reported, "Google Pixel Watch received three of what is believed to be the models' Bluetooth listing - GWT9R, GBZ4S, and GQF4C. It has a design name BT Wearable Design-Controller Subsystem."
