Google Expected to Launch Pixel Watch 2 Alongside Pixel 8 Lineup
Reports suggest that Google is planning a strong year in hardware, with the Pixel Watch 2 likely to be released alongside the Pixel 8 and Pixel 8 Pro in 2023.
Annual Release Cycle for Pixel Watch
An industry source claims that Google is shifting to an annual release cycle for its Pixel Watch series. The upcoming Pixel Watch 2 is expected to be announced with the Google Pixel 8 and 8 Pro later this year. If Google follows its historical release pattern, the devices should be unveiled in October.
Anticipated Pixel Watch 2 Features
While no specific details about the Pixel Watch 2 have been released, some speculate that its overall design may not change drastically but could be refined with a larger display and smaller bezels. It is also possible that the watch band attachment mechanism will remain the same, allowing users to continue using their current Pixel Watch bands. The next Pixel Watch might feature the Snapdragon W5+ with its 4nm manufacturing process, potentially extending battery life. Different watch sizes could also be introduced, although no indication of this has been provided yet.
Upcoming Google I/O Event
Google’s I/O event is set for May 10, where the Pixel 7a and Pixel Fold are likely to be unveiled. The company may also provide teasers and additional information about other devices, including the Pixel Watch 2, as the October release date approaches.
