New Leaks Reveal Exciting Details About the Google Pixel Watch 4

Google is expected to unveil the new Google Pixel Watch 4, alongside the Google Pixel 10 phone series and Pixel Buds 2a, on Wednesday, August 20. Although Google has only officially confirmed the event date, a new leak has provided additional information about its anticipated smartwatch.

Key Features and Initial Leaks

Leaked images on Reddit show what appears to be official marketing materials for the Pixel Watch 4, highlighting key features such as enhanced durability, longer battery life, and improved activity tracking accuracy thanks to a "third-generation sensor hub." This hub is considered an upgrade to the sensors used in the Google Pixel Watch 3, which is expected to provide higher accuracy in heart rate readings and other vital data, as practical experience will confirm.

The leak also reveals a unique side-charging system, with contact points located on the side of the watch's body, which aligns with previous leaks regarding the Pixel Watch 4 charging mechanism.

The marketing materials are filled with promising phrases, indicating that the watch offers "significant technological advancements" compared to the previous version and features a "luxurious and polished design."

Battery Enhancements and Advanced Features

The leaks also show that battery life could reach up to 30 hours, a 25% increase over the current model, reinforcing previous expectations for improved battery performance.

Information also indicates that the watch will be available in two sizes, 41mm and 42mm, with integration of Google's AI assistant Gemini. Among the prominent features mentioned is "dual-frequency" Global Positioning System (GPS), which is expected to enhance location accuracy and speed.

Dual-frequency GPS technology uses two frequency bands (L1 and L5) instead of the traditional single band (L1), significantly improving location accuracy. While L1 signals can be affected by obstacles such as tall buildings or dense trees, the addition of the L5 band allows the watch to correct these errors and obtain a stronger, more stable signal, resulting in more accurate tracking of routes and distances during outdoor activities.

Final Expectations

With these consecutive leaks, the Pixel Watch 4 appears to be a strong contender in the smartwatch market, and it may secure its place among the best smartwatches upon its official launch.
