Tipster reveals what he says is the date when the Google Pixel Watch becomes official
For those of you out there like yours truly, who returned to Android after two years using an iPhone 11 Pro Max, the big question is what device to use to replace the Apple Watch that adorned this writer’s wrist for nearly as long. But this might not be such a problem after all because the long-awaited Google Pixel Watch is expected to be released sometime this year.
Prosser says that the Google Pixel Watch will be unveiled during Google I/O
Just as it does with the Pixel handsets, testing out Android features on the handset, we wouldn’t be surprised to see Google do the same for Wear OS with the Pixel Watch. While not much is known about the specs for the timepiece, the marketing images and the renders both show a round display with 2.5D glass and bezels that are not too big. There is a crown on the right side of the watch.
Google has its faith in Wear OS restored
In November 2019, Google parent Alphabet announced that it would spend $2.1 billion to buy Fitbit and said that it hoped the acquisition would help improve Wear OS. During last year’s Google I/O, Samsung and Google surprised many by teaming up to improve Wear OS to make apps open and perform faster while improving the battery life of Sammy’s smartwatches.
The partnership between Samsung and Google included taking the best features of Samsung’s Tizen operating system and Google’s Wear OS and combining it. As Google said in a tweet dated last May 18th, “We’re combining the best of @wearosbygoogle and @SamsungMobile Tizen into a unified wearable platform. Apps will start faster, battery life will be longer and you’ll have more choice than ever before, from devices to apps and watch faces. #GoogleIO.”
