<\/a>The Pixel Watch 5 is tipped to go on sale on August 20.<\/p>\n

Google’s next smartwatch is set to debut imminently. The Pixel Watch 5 is expected to launch on August 12, and its most important specifications have now been revealed, with storage and strap material changes being key points.<\/p>\n

Google is geared to release the Pixel Watch 5 next week alongside the Pixel 11 series. The Watch 5 has leaked in the past, with promo images also surfacing<\/a> recently; its most important specifications have also been revealed ahead of its debut.<\/p>\n

As shared by Billbil_kun, the Pixel Watch 5 looks set to be a mostly incremental upgrade on the Watch 4 (buy on Amazon US curr. $399.99<\/a>). No notable changes are expected on the display side, with the Watch 5 also expected to be powered by the same Snapdragon W5 Gen 2 processor, although possibly in a slightly improved guise.<\/p>\n

It’s unclear if the Pixel Watch 5 gets a memory upgrade from the 2 GB its predecessor shipped with, but considering current memory prices, that appears unlikely. The Watch 5 gets double the storage, however, as it’s said to offer 64 GB of eMMC storage versus the 32 GB on last year’s model.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Battery life is reportedly the same as on the Pixel Watch 4: between 30 and 40 hours for the 41mm model, and 48 and 72 hours for the 45mm variant. Actual battery capacities are effectively unchanged as well.\u00a0 The Watch 5 will also run Wear OS 7.0 with Gemini Intelligence, compared to the Watch 4 and Wear OS 6.0.<\/p>\n

Finally, the Google Pixel Watch 5’s strap appears to built differently from the Watch 4’s. It reportedly trades in its predecessor’s fluoroelastomer-based strap for a Hydrogenated Nitrile-Butadiene Rubber (HNBR) one. HNBR is considered cheaper but offers better tensile strength and resistance to wear and tear, albeit at the cost of worse long-term durability to the elements.<\/p>\n
