What you need to know
- A new leak claims to reveal Google Pixel Watch’s price and availability details.
- However, Google’s first smartwatch could see a limited release.
- It is also a step closer to launch now that it has been approved by Bluetooth SIG.
There’s no doubt that the Google Pixel Watch is almost upon us in light of a recent trademark application with the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office. However, a new leak suggests that Google’s first smartwatch may have limited availability.
Tips Yogesh Brar has shared a few details about the Pixel Watch that have not appeared before. According to the leak, the portable device will cost between $ 300 and $ 400, which in particular is the same price range as the Samsung Galaxy Watch 4 Classic.
Unfortunately, the leak also claims that the smartwatch will be limited in quantity. This seems to suggest that it will only be available in a few markets.
Android Central has contacted Google for a comment and will update this article when we hear back.
Brar offered some sort of disclaimer for this information, noting that the source is “relatively new”, so you’re wise to take this leak with a grain of salt.
While the leak gives us disappointing information about the availability of the smartwatch, it does contain a few other interesting things. The leak has highlighted Google and Samsung’s collaboration on the Pixel Watch. As a result, the portable device could be powered by an Exynos chipset instead of a Snapdragon 4100 series processor.
The Pixel Watch could also be equipped with the same sensors as the Galaxy Watch 4, including an ECG sensor.
Like Samsung’s best Android smartwatch, the first Google-branded smartwatch will reportedly come in two sizes. It could also include four ribbon colors, some of which have already been seen in all their glory a few days ago thanks to a Googler who presumably left a Pixel Watch prototype at a restaurant in the US
Nothing has been set in stone yet as Google remains the mother of the long-rumored device.
That said, it’s most likely approaching a formal announcement after the Pixel Watch made a pit stop on the Bluetooth SIG website, according to 9to5Google. This means that the laptop has now received Bluetooth certification, which brings it one step closer to launch.
