Despite the lackluster processor, Google is reportedly working on its own custom Tensor wearable chip for future models, starting with the Pixel Watch 5. In the meantime, the Pixel Watch 4 will rely on battery enhancements and software optimizations for improved performance.
The Pixel Watch 4 is expected to come with larger batteries for both the 45mm and 41mm models, offering a 7% and 9% increase in capacity compared to the Pixel Watch 3, respectively. Additionally, faster charging support will be included, although specific speeds have not been disclosed.
While the larger battery capacity of the Pixel Watch 3’s 45mm model was praised in reviews, there were still concerns about the smaller model’s endurance. The upcoming battery upgrades aim to address this issue and further improve the overall stamina of the device.
However, with competitors like the Galaxy Watch 8 utilizing more efficient chips, the Pixel Watch series may need to prioritize upgrading its processor in future iterations to stay competitive in the market. Stay tuned for more updates on the Pixel Watch 4 as its release date approaches.
