Pixel Watch 2 specifications (expected)

Google has not released any information on the specifications of the Pixel Watch 2. However, there have been several reports around the smartwatch. A recent report suggested that the upcoming smartwatch could be powered by a Qualcomm Snapdragon W5 series chipset, which could either be the Snapdragon W5 or Snapdragon W5+. It also mentioned that Pixel Watch 2 could offer a battery life of over 24 hours even with its always-on display (AOD) feature enabled. The Pixel Watch 2 is expected to run Wear OS 4.

Another report added that the purported smartwatch could get four new watch faces namely Accessible, Arc, Bold Digital, and Analog Bold. The Pixel Watch 2 is also likely to feature an aluminium body. The Google Play Console listing of the smartwatch has hinted that it could be powered by a Qualcomm SW5100 SoC, which claims to be the Snapdragon W5 chipset.

Google I/O 2023 saw the search giant repeatedly tell us that it cares about AI, alongside the launch of its first foldable phone and Pixel-branded tablet. This year, the company is going to supercharge its apps, services, and Android operating system with AI technology. We discuss this and more on Orbital, the Gadgets 360 podcast.
