Will the Pixel Watch 2 have a Snapdragon? | Gizmodo Japan

Rumors about the Pixel Watch 2!

The long-awaited Google Pixel Watch debuted in October last year. Over at Gizmodo, we ran a positive review of Google’s first Android smartwatch, and it seemed like something we’d recommend especially if you thought Samsung wasn’t good enough.

The details aren’t clear at all, but anonymous information obtained by 9to5Google reveals just how much the second generation has improved on the disappointments of the first generation.

It looks like it’s switching to a Snapdragon

On the original Pixel Watch,Samsung Exynos 9110 chipsetThis chipset has been installed in Samsung smart wearables for several years.

When the Pixel Watch was released, it was already using a three-year-old chip.

The chipset is said to double the number of A53 cores built on the 4nm process from two to four, offering advantages beyond processing power.

The battery seems to last longer

In our review of the original Pixel Watch, we rated battery life as “average.”

On the LTE model, with the always-on display turned off, the battery level was 30% at bedtime, and 16% in the morning after wearing it all night to track sleep.

According to information leaked to 9t05Google this time, in the testA single charge for the Pixel Watch 2 will give you more than a day of use with the always-on display, and 2-3 days on a single charge with power saving features enabled.correct.

Sensors include a cEDA sensor (skin electrical activity sensor, which measures sweat levels on the surface of the skin) to track a user’s stress levels throughout the day, and a skin temperature sensor (which measures changes in body temperature to improve the accuracy of sleep tracking). Something to do.

I’m not sure how accurate this information is, but anyway, there is no smoke without fire.

We have high hopes that Google will make some improvements to the Pixel Watch and announce them later this year.
