The Story in Brief
Google has released a teaser video for the Pixel Watch 5, poking fun at the square and non-round designs of Samsung Galaxy Watches and Apple Watches. The ad boasts that the Pixel Watch 5 has 'the decency to look like a watch' while still offering health and fitness tracking. The company will unveil the watch alongside the Pixel 11 phone series on August 12.
According to GSMarena, leaks indicate the Pixel Watch 5 will come in 41mm and 45mm sizes, with minor battery bumps but the same chipset as last year. The Pixel 11 series is expected to feature a new Tensor G6 chipset (on a 2nm node), a MediaTek modem, and a new RGB notification light called Pixel Glow or HiLight. Prices are expected to rise, and some models may see RAM reductions.
The Indian Opinion
Google's teaser mocks rivals for not looking like traditional watches, but it conveniently avoids mentioning the Pixel Watch 5's modest battery life, which still lags behind many competitors. The leaks also suggest only incremental hardware upgrades, putting pressure on the Tensor G6 to deliver meaningful improvements. Will the new 2nm chip actually fix battery woes, or is Google betting too heavily on efficiency promises that users have heard before?
