Pixel Watch 4 leaks suggest Google is doubling down on battery again
1 min read
Summary
The Google Pixel Watch 4 is expected to launch later this year, and new leaks imply that it will have improved battery life thanks to a larger battery or additional components.
The renders, published by 91 Mobiles, show a thicker smartwatch than its predecessor and two new buttons beside the speaker.
It is speculated that the charging pins have been removed to enable faster charging, as their inclusion in previous iterations was criticised for requiring a new proprietary charger, and wearing down over time.
Google has focused on improving battery life in recent iterations of the Pixel Watch, which, while now lasting a full day, still lag behind rival products from the likes of Samsung and Apple.
It is expected that Wear OS 6 will also emphasise power efficiency.
