Overview

  • Google will unveil Pixel Watch 4 at its Made by Google hardware event on August 20, with 41 mm and 45 mm models.
  • The redesigned charging dock appears on the watch’s left side and could deliver up to 25 percent faster recharges.
  • Removing the charging contacts from the back should allow a larger sensor array, including continuous SpO2 monitoring for breathing emergencies.
  • A removable backplate enabled by the new layout is expected to improve repairability and ease access to internal components.
  • Leaks also point to a brighter display, a thicker case to fit a larger battery, and potential inclusion of Google’s M55 processor alongside the Snapdragon W5+ Gen 1.
