The Pixel Watch 2 is here and it’s the second generation of the Google smartwatch. But what has changed compared to the first Pixel watch? And are there any useful inventions? We give you an overview of the Google Pixel Watch 2.
Alongside the new Pixel 8 series of smartphones, Google also unveiled the new Pixel Watch 2, which has already been announced. The first leak drew attention to himself. However, not all details about what is changing have been made public.
Google firmly retains the rounded, pebble-shaped design and gives the watch some innovation, especially under the hood. However, the case diameter is 41 mm Now made from recycled aluminum And so no longer made of stainless steel. It’s not necessarily less valuable, but above all it makes the watch 5 grams lighter – and you can feel it. At 12.3mm, the Pixel Watch 2 has the same thickness/thinness.
The circular OLED display still offers a pixel density of 320 ppi and reaches a peak brightness of up to 1,000 nits. is protected by the top 3D Corning Gorilla Glass 5. There you will see some new watch faces that have already been seen. Wear OS is back as software, this time in version 4.0. Of course, the watch can be operated via the touchscreen or the haptic crown and its side buttons.
Same design, but lighter and with a new chip
Instead of the Exyos 9110 SoC, Google is switching to one for the Pixel Watch 2 Snapdragon W5+ Gen 1 (Qualcomm SW5100) with Cortex M33 co-processor. Also, 2 GB RAM and 32 GB eMMC storage are installed. This will give the smartwatch not only more functionality, but also more efficiency, which will hopefully lead to longer battery life.
A slightly larger battery with 306 mAh (+12 mAh) will also contribute to this. Google claims 24 hours of use with always-on display enabled – let’s be surprised. However, the Pixel Watch 2 now charges via a New “Magnetic Pin Charger”which charges the battery with a maximum of 2.5 watts in 75 minutes (50% in 30 minutes).
For sports activities, Google Pixel Watch 2 can monitor not only heart rate but also blood oxygen level and skin temperature. An ECG function is also available. The smartwatch is rounded off by an IP68 certification for protection against water and dust. Google even offers one Water resistance up to 50 meters After 5ATM.
There’s also a speaker and microphone for Google Assistant and phone calls directly on the watch. In terms of connectivity, Bluetooth 5.0, 4G LTE via optional eSIM and Wi-Fi 4 with 2.4 GHz are available. NFC is also on board for mobile payments via Google Pay.
