With the Samsung Galaxy Watch 8 series<\/a> recently arriving, and Apple reportedly preparing its 2025 update for release in September, the official details of Google\u2019s next watch are highly anticipated.<\/p>\n And while the brand is naturally tight-lipped as it approaches its upcoming \u2018Made by Google\u2019 event, a steady stream of rumours has painted a clear picture of what we can expect from the next-generation device. <\/p>\n From a brighter display and boosted battery life to enhanced fitness tracking and improved repairability, here\u2019s a comprehensive guide to everything we know about the Google Pixel Watch 4.<\/p>\n Pixel Watch 4 release date<\/p>\n It\u2019s almost certain that Google will announce the Pixel Watch 4 on August 20<\/strong>, with the smartwatch expected to be unveiled alongside various other Pixel wares at the confirmed \u2018Made by Google\u2019 event.<\/p>\n Pre-orders are anticipated to begin shortly after the announcement, with devices shipping to customers around August 28<\/strong>. This timeline aligns with Google\u2019s previous launch schedules, suggesting a late summer release for the new wearable.<\/p>\n \n Advertisement <\/p>\n How much will it cost?<\/p>\n In terms of pricing, the Pixel Watch 4 is expected to maintain a similar price point to its predecessor. An initial leak suggested that the 41mm Wi-Fi model will be available for \u20ac399, with the LTE version priced at \u20ac499. For the larger 45mm model, those numbers were suggested to rise to \u20ac449 (Wi-Fi) and \u20ac549 (LTE).<\/p>\n However, that\u2019s just the European pricing rumors\u2014and the latest information published by Android Headlines<\/a> (who, as you\u2019ll see from the rest of this round-up, seemingly have a direct line to somebody with access to all of Google\u2019s upcoming launch info) gives us the potential US details. <\/p>\n The outlet suggests that the Pixel Watch 4 will start at $349 for the 41mm Bluetooth\/Wi-Fi model, unchanged from the third generation. Yet, it seems likely that the LTE versions will return to being a $50 upgrade, making the fully connected 41mm version available for $399. <\/p>\n As you would expect, similar figures are also touted for the 45mm Bluetooth\/Wi-Fi model ($399) and its LTE equivalent ($449).<\/p>\n There\u2019s been no leaks yet to give us an indication of Pixel Watch 4 UK pricing. But, still, we\u2019d say based on current rumors, it\u2019s likely to begin at \u00a3349 and top out at \u00a3449. <\/p>\n \n Advertisement <\/p>\n Display upgrades, new charging, and improved repairability<\/p>\n While the overall design of the Pixel Watch 4 is expected to remain largely unchanged, with its signature circular, domed display, there are some key upgrades in store. <\/p>\n The most significant of these is said to be a substantial boost in display brightness, with the new model rumoured to reach a peak brightness of 3,000 nits. <\/p>\n This would put it on par with the Apple Watch Ultra and Samsung\u2019s latest offerings, ensuring excellent visibility even in direct sunlight. The display will also feature a variable refresh rate of 1-60Hz, which is expected to contribute to improved battery efficiency.<\/p>\n \n Advertisement <\/p>\n Another notable design change is the introduction of side-charging. As shown in the leaked renders above and below, first shared by Android Headlines<\/a>, the Pixel Watch 4 will be able to charge on its side via an included dock, making it more convenient for use as a bedside clock.<\/p>\n That function feels like a minor new feature, considering most users will likely want to take advantage of the sleep and recovery insights instead of using the device as a bedside clock. <\/p>\n However, two additional significant upgrades are being suggested in rumors as a result of this change. One is that it will result in charging speeds that are 25% faster than those of the Pixel Watch 3\u2014reportedly set to be capable of going from 0-50% in just 15 minutes. <\/p>\n The other is that this change to the watch\u2019s underside could make the watch infinitely more repairable than previous models.<\/p>\n Battery life and performance upgrades<\/p>\n \n Advertisement <\/p>\n Interestingly, Android Headlines<\/a> suggests that the Pixel Watch 4 is expected to retain the same Qualcomm Snapdragon W5+ Gen 1 chipset that powered the previous two generations. However, this doesn\u2019t mean there won\u2019t be a performance boost. <\/p>\n Google is reportedly introducing a new M55 co-processor, which is said to handle up to 5x the AI workload at a fraction of the power. This could lead to a smoother and more responsive user experience, as well as enable new AI-powered Google Gemini features that the brand showcased in its Wear OS 6<\/a> reveal.<\/p>\n The new co-processor, combined with larger batteries, is also expected to deliver a significant improvement in battery life. The 41mm model is rumoured to feature a 325mAh battery, while the 45mm version will house a 455mAh cell. <\/p>\n This should translate to up to 30 hours of battery life with the always-on display enabled for the 41mm model and 40 hours for the 45mm model. In battery saver mode, these figures are expected to jump to 48 and 72 hours, respectively. <\/p>\n As ever with battery numbers, things are very variable based on usage, and we likely won\u2019t know the full extent of each model\u2019s capability until we begin testing. <\/p>\n \n Advertisement <\/p>\n However, the leaked estimates are very encouraging, considering we found the Pixel Watch 3 greatly exceeded Google\u2019s claims of 24 hours (36 hours in its battery-saving mode) for the 45mm edition. If that trend continues, the Pixel Watch 4 would feature a massive battery boost in both case sizes.<\/p>\n Improved fitness, health, and safety tracking features<\/p>\n Google is poised to make significant strides in the fitness and health tracking capabilities of the Pixel Watch 4, according to current rumors. This includes a new workout builder that will allow users to create custom interval training sessions, complete with warm-up and cool-down phases.<\/p>\n For runners, the Pixel Watch 4 will also seemingly provide daily running recommendations powered by Google\u2019s in-house AI. These recommendations will be delivered in real-time and will be based on a range of metrics, including cadence, stride length, and ground contact time. <\/p>\n Swimmers and cyclists will also benefit from tracking tweaks, according to Android Headlines<\/a>, alongside the long-awaited addition of dual-frequency GPS. Automatic activity detection for the 40+ sports on the watch is also said to have been tightened for the upcoming watch.<\/p>\n \n Advertisement <\/p>\n\n
