A new report has revealed for the first time the Google Pixel Watch 2, which will launch alongside the Pixel 8 series in the fall. According to the report, Google’s second-generation smartwatch will move from Samsung’s Exynos chipset to the latest Qualcomm Snapdragon W5 generation.
Whether it’s the Snapdragon W5 Gen 1 or the Snapdragon W5+ Gen 1, we’re looking at a 4nm chip with four Cortex-A53 cores – Significant improvement over Pixel Watch 10 nm Exynos 1200, which only has two Cortex-A53 Kernel. The W5+ has a special co-processor that enables a more efficient always-on display and other features.
The spec bump should give the Pixel Watch 2 a healthy battery life improvement over its predecessor. Although it should be noted that Samsung’s wearable chip is competitive with the Galaxy Watch4 generation’s 5nm W53 chip, and the rumored W920 Will debut on Galaxy Watch 6.
According to reports, another major improvement is the addition of Fitbit Sense 2’s dedicated health sensors – a continuous electrodermal activity (cEDA) pressure sensor tracking and skin temperature sensor.
