Google Pixel 2022 live blog: Pixel Watch, Pixel 7, and more expected at today’s launch

At this point, there’s not much to learn and we haven’t really seen from the various leaks. But Google has also come up against some, such as confirming that the Pixel 7 series will be powered by the all-new Google Tensor 2 chip. It’s again expected to be another year of offering nearly flagship-like performance, but it’s rumored to be 20% more performance, 20% lower in power consumption, and deliver a 35% boost with machine learning tasks.

As for the price, it shouldn’t really come as a surprise that recent leaks claim the Pixel Watch will come in at around $350. This is an excellent design, after all, complete with all the benefits that Wear OS has to offer. Perhaps most importantly, this is Google’s attempt to enter a market filled with the likes of the Apple Watch and Galaxy Watch. It is also possible that there is a file Fitbit Sense 2 $299 Price, played a role in the potentially high price.

There are some key areas that we haven’t touched on yet Battery life and price. For the former, the Pixel Watch is rumored to use a 300mAh battery, which brings it closer in line with the 40mm Galaxy Watch 5. This will probably take a full day, but it certainly won’t be a wearable for several days. We’re still not sure what Google plans to do when it comes to charging, but we’re still on our toes as it will use the Qi standard, and allow reverse wireless charging with compatible Android phones, including the Pixel 7 series.

Fitbit holds the brand recognition that Google needs to help it succeed in the wearable space. And the Pixel Watch can do well to implement some of the best of Fitbit Hardware and Features. This means that the Pixel Watch should do just fine with the basics, like continuous heart rate and sleep tracking. But we also hope that Google will “shoot for the moon” by offering features that even the newly released Fitbit Sense 2 can’t. This includes things like accessing Fitbit Premium workouts right from your wrist, which makes it easy to view and access Fitbit data, and customizable watch faces that let you put your important metrics front and center during your workouts.

Good morning, 6AM ET, Shruti (Editor of AC Director) is checking in again with ya’ll. You guys are tired (see gif), but it’s PIXEL day!

Based on what Brendan said…

Part of the fun of owning a smartwatch is being able to view notifications as they come in, and even respond to them without having to use your phone. But there’s another side to the coin, with wearables becoming invaluable for tracking your overall health, along with workouts, gym sessions, and more. And thanks to the rumored Fitbit integration (which we talked about earlier), one could argue that this is set to be more than a Google-supported Fitbit.

Morning guys, Brendan from UK check in here. Things are heating up as we get closer to today’s launch event. The Pixel Watch is still the most anticipated device today, but those rumors with a big edge have us worried.

So imagine the feeling when we woke up to images like the above from Roland Quandt on WinFuture Twitter. We’re still hopeful that maybe it’s not real, but this frame is thick. Likes, truly thick.

This is more concerning as it looks like the screen size will only be around 41mm, and as someone who owns a 41mm Galaxy Watch 4 Classic I can tell you this is a bit too small for some gadget texts and such, and this is on a watch with no bezel eats into the screen. It definitely looks like the Pixel frame is beyond the new frame Galaxy Watch 5 very.

Software is just as important as hardware, and the Pixel Watch is no exception to Google’s flavor of Wear OS 3. And there probably won’t be any Deep integration into FitbitBut the Pixel Watch will also bring another long-awaited feature. Google Home has finally made its way to smartwatches, giving you an easy way to turn your smart home’s lights on or off, without holding your phone or calling an assistant. This is one of the features that many smartwatch owners have been wanting to see for years, and it’s finally coming.

Anyway BRB, because I’m going to bed soon, but one of my colleagues might be joining soon, and if not…catch me at 6am bright ET and early!

As expected, Google didn’t provide much information about the Pixel Watch during the I/O 2022 Keynote. But it wasn’t long after the event ended that we started learning more about the Pixel Watch. Notably, a rumor indicated that Google would use a file Wizard from 2018, in the Exynos 9110, which was first released alongside the Galaxy Watch. However, later rumors suggested that Google would pair the 9110 with an unnamed co-processor, along with plenty of RAM and the most storage space on an Android smartwatch.

We’ll have to see what the end result really will be, but for now, I think a lot of people feel like they’re in the gif below.

Shortly before Google I/O 2022 kicks off, Android Central was the first To report and provide realistic images of the first Google smartwatch. This emphasized a few things about the watch itself, such as the rotating crown and two hidden buttons to provide different ways to interact with the wearable. The images provided also gave us an indication of how the Pixel Watch stacks up from a size perspective compared to the Apple Watch and Galaxy Watch.

And most excitedly, Google is finally, and we mean it’s finally releasing its first smartwatch. This has been rumored YearsAnd it looks like it would be the perfect complement to your shiny new Pixel 7 (or any Android phone). Since it was shown at I/O, Google has offered a few teasers here and there, complete with the “Design of the Google Pixel Watch” Videowhich gives us an idea of ​​how the design might look.

Folks, it’s the writing of Shruti, Managing Editor of AC. I’ll be on until tomorrow when the event goes live and honestly I already feel like I need a drink…maybe that’s what I’ll find on another machine that was “accidentally” left in the pub. I burst out laughing. k. Anyway, Andrew Merrick helped me write a bunch of stuff, so I want to get things started.

It’s been five long months since the Pixel 7, Pixel 7 Pro, Pixel Watch, and even the Pixel Tablet debuted at I/O 2022. Since then, we’ve seen an iPhone 4-like disaster with Pixel Watch is left in bar Along with more than a few different folks who got some hands-on time with the Pixel 7 and 7 Pro models. For whatever reason, it seems Google can’t figure out how to turn off that leaky faucet every year.
