Here’s an in-depth examination of the newly redesigned charging pins for the Pixel Watch 4.
Key points to consider:
– A recent leak indicates the arrival of a new Quick Charge Dock, a Gen 3 sensor hub, and a 25% increase in charging speed for the Pixel Watch 4.
– The enhanced sensor hub is expected to deliver more precise health and fitness tracking.
– Anticipated features include native Gemini support and a charger capable of moisture detection.
Rumors about the Pixel Watch 4 have been circulating widely, but we are now getting a first look at the revamped charging pins, which appear to be positioned on the side of the watch this time around.
A Reddit leak displaying purported retailer slides outlines several upgrades for the Pixel Watch 4, including repositioned charging pins, a new Quick Charge Dock (Gen 3 sensor hub), and a 25% boost in charging speed (as reported by 9to5Google).
According to the leak, the new-generation sensor hub is set to provide enhanced accuracy for health and fitness data. Although these indicators are encouraging, the actual performance of the upgraded sensors will only be validated after the watch’s official launch and subsequent testing.
The most recent leak corroborates previous assertions regarding a side-mounted charging system for the Pixel Watch 4, featuring contacts now integrated into the watch’s casing. This confirms the novel charging approach.
The images reveal two POGO charging pins located on the left side of the smartwatch, situated at either end of the speaker grill.
Enhanced sensors and a more vibrant display:
The report presents the Pixel Watch 4 as a significant advancement from its predecessors, highlighting improvements in display sharpness and overall responsiveness.
Additionally, the document reinforces earlier hypotheses concerning an extended battery life for the Pixel Watch 4, specifying a 30-hour duration for the 41mm variant and a 40-hour duration for the 45mm variant.
The leaked retailer slides indicate that the Pixel Watch 4 will incorporate Gemini and feature a newly designed charger with moisture detection, a subject likely to be explored further in the launch presentation.
The Pixel Watch 4 is reportedly equipped with a reimagined charging interface that also enables it to serve as a bedside clock while docked.
Google is expected to officially unveil the Pixel Watch 4 on August 20, sharing the stage with the Pixel 10 series and the Pixel Buds 2a.
