Google’s Rumored Pixel Watch Might Get a Powerful, Exclusive Feature

Google’s Pixel smartwatch is likely one of the most anticipated gadgets on the horizon regardless of not being a confirmed product, and a brand new report makes us much more wanting to see what’s coming.

The rumored Pixel Watch will apparently be powered by a Samsung Exynos chip and help Google Assistant, in response to a report from 9to5Google that claims to have discovered a “PIXEL_EXPERIENCE_WATCH” characteristic tag inside a Google app.

As the location notes, earlier Pixel telephones contained comparable characteristic tags that instructed apps when to offer Pixel-exclusive options. If the forthcoming smartwatch does certainly have its personal characteristic tag, it could recommend that it’s going to obtain options you’ll be able to’t discover on different watches.

Hold on, although, as a result of it solely will get higher from right here. The people at 9to5Google additionally discovered references to “Rohan,” the codename linked to the Pixel Watch, and tied them to the next-generation Assistant, or the newest model of the Google Assistant that debuted within the Pixel 4. The benefit of utilizing the next-gen assistant is that speech may be processed straight in your machine in actual time, permitting you to rapidly open apps, translate speech into textual content, or carry out varied capabilities offline.

As it stands, the most recent model of Google’s watch OS, Wear OS 3, continues to be lacking an assistant altogether (the poor Samsung Galaxy Watch 4 depends on Bixby).

Between discovering a characteristic tag containing “PIXEL” and recognizing what has been, up to now, a Pixel-exclusive characteristic, 9to5Google appears fairly satisfied that Google’s subsequent watch will certainly be known as the Pixel Watch (as has been rumored). This comes only a few weeks after a Business Insider report stated it was “unclear” what model Google would use if it even decides to launch the watch.

And whereas there stays a sliver of doubt as as to if this factor will ever arrive, we now have a reasonably good thought of the way it’ll look if it does. Again, 9to5Google did some digging, however this time, it seemed via the Wear OS 3 emulator and located a watch face that appears to provide us a glimpse on the Pixel Watch’s design.

One graphic it discovered exhibits a spherical watch face with a distinguished crown. On the show is a curved gentle bar in Google colours (pink, yellow, inexperienced, blue). While we don’t know for positive, this very a lot appears just like the form of icon that would seem once you summon the Google Assistant.

It’s value declaring that the picture discovered within the emulator appears just like the generic watch icon Google utilized in its Wear OS 3 announcement, and the addition of a pusher button deviates from the leaks we’ve seen so far.

If these weren’t sufficient juicy Pixel Watch leaks, we get another courtesy of 9to5Google, which claims to have “seen evidence suggesting” the Pixel Watch can be powered by a Samsung Exynos processor as a substitute of Qualcomm’s newest Snapdragon Wear 4100 Plus chip. Google and Samsung labored collectively on Wear OS 3 so it’d make sense for them to share {hardware}.

It’s potential Google’s upcoming watch can be powered by the identical Samsung Exynos W920 discovered within the Galaxy Watch 4, however like all the things else on this newest rumor batch, we will’t say for positive till Google confirms this factor is actual.
