Pixel Watch 5 Play Console Leak Shows Same Base Chip and More RAM

A reported jump to 3 GB of memory could enable Gemini on-device features while missing co-processor information keeps performance and battery implications unknown.

Overview

  • The Google Play Console listing identifies the Pixel Watch 5 by the codename “godric” and names Qualcomm’s SW5100 as the base platform.
  • The listing shows the same CPU and GPU specs as the prior model, with four ARM Cortex-A53 cores at 1.7 GHz and an Adreno 702 GPU.
  • RAM is reported to increase to 3 GB from the previous generation’s 2 GB, a change that vendors say can support heavier on-device AI workloads like Gemini Intelligence.
  • The Play Console image matches earlier renders and indicates the watch will retain the same exterior design and a Gemini-styled analog watch face.
  • The entry does not list a low-power co-processor, so it remains unclear whether Google upgraded that component and how the watch will compare in raw performance and battery efficiency to rivals using newer chips.
