The panorama of smartwatches is in continuous ferment and among the most awaited innovations there is undoubtedly the pixel watch 2 by Google. This device promises to revolutionize the world of smartwatches, combining cutting-edge design and high-level performance. Thanks for the recent information leaked from the Google Play Console, we can finally take a more detailed look at the characteristics of this technological jewel.
Pixel Watch 2: the evolution of the smartwatch with a zero-edge design
The Pixel Watch 2, identified with the code name "Eos" has made an appearance in the Google Play Console device catalog (via 9to5Google). This platform, aimed at Android developers, has revealed a few technical specifications which allow us to better understand the potential of the new smartwatch.
Google has decided to make an important qualitative leap in terms of performance. While the first Pixel Watch was powered by the Exynos 9110 chip, the new model will be equipped with the latest and most powerful Snapdragon W5. This chip, identified as Qualcomm SW5100, represents the standard version of the Snapdragon W5, different from the W5+ variant that we find in other devices such as the TicWatch Pro 5.
The pre-installed operating system will be Android 13, which means that the Pixel Watch 2 will be one of the first devices to benefit from the new features of WearOS 4. Among the most awaited novelties, there is the function "backup“, which will allow users to easily save and restore their smartwatch data.
But that is not all. Google's smartwatch also promises a high-quality display, with a resolution of 384 × 384 and a density of 320ppi. Rumors suggest that Google could move from a BOE panel to a panel Samsungthus ensuring better visual quality.
