Google appears to be engaged on a brand new smartwatch powered by Put on OS, and particulars of the machine have surfaced in a current FCC (Federal Communications Fee) itemizing. Whereas the machine within the itemizing would not appear to be the extremely anticipated Pixel Watch 3, it leaves us interested in what Google has in retailer. This information arrives through
9to5Google after recognizing the FCC machine itemizing immediately, including one more machine to Google’s rumored lineup of recent gadgets debuting this 12 months.
It was lately rumored that Google intends to launch the
Pixel Watch 3 in two totally different sizes, probably alongside the Pixel 9 collection telephones within the fall. Moreover, APK breakdowns have revealed that Google is making ready to make use of UWB (Extremely-Wideband) expertise within the
Pixel Watch 3, making unlocking your cellphone along with your watch even simpler.Nonetheless, the smartwatch featured on this current FCC submitting, known as mannequin quantity G4SKY, would not appear to have UWB capabilities. This alone makes it unlikely to be the
Pixel Watch 3. Moreover, because the
Pixel Watch 3 is not anticipated till later within the 12 months, its FCC itemizing would not seem this early.
So then, the query stays what this thriller Put on OS machine might be. One chance, although unlikely, is a mid-range model of the Pixel Watch. Maybe a “Pixel Watch 2a,” if you’ll, as has been speculated. If that’s the case, it might be Google’s plan to launch this watch alongside the Pixel 8a, which is anticipated to be introduced at Google I/O subsequent month.Â
One other chance might be that this is not a Pixel watch in any respect, however fairly a Fitbit machine as an alternative. Nonetheless, contemplating Google’s historical past with {hardware} leaks, and contemplating nobody has seen or heard about such a tool, the plot surrounding this new machine thickens.
The excellent news is that we’ll probably discover out what this new machine is throughout Google I/O. Now that the cat’s out of the bag, it is going to be extraordinarily troublesome for Google to maintain leaks or rumors surrounding it hidden for for much longer. I’m all for a Pixel Watch 2a to be added to the Pixel A-line and thus compete with decrease priced smartwatches from different manufacturers.
