- Rumor has it, Google’s upcoming Pixel-branded smartwatch will usher in a new version of Google Assistant for Wear OS.
- It’s also possible the smartwatch will be powered by a Samsung Exynos chip, not a Qualcomm Snapdragon chip.
- As always, it’s important to take early rumors with a grain of salt.
After years and years of rumors, evidence is mounting that Google is actually making a Pixel smartwatch. While we don’t know if it’ll be known as a “Pixel Watch,” various sources have outed the existence of a flagship smartwatch made by Google. We’ve seen alleged leaked watch faces that will presumably be available on the new device, and a report that details the potential design and codename for the watch.
Our friends at 9to5Google have uncovered even more details about the upcoming smartwatch. Digging through code tucked away in the Google app, 9to5Google found a mention of “PIXEL_EXPERIENCE_WATCH,” suggesting Google could be leaning into the Pixel branding for its wearable. According to a recent report from Business Insider, Google is still internally mulling over the name of the device.
