Google's Pixel Watch 4 rumored to feature a significant improvement
## Pixel Watch 4 to Feature Improved Battery Life and Faster Charging
Rumours surrounding the upcoming Google Pixel Watch 4 suggest that the smartwatch will come equipped with larger batteries and faster charging speeds, promising longer battery life for users.
The 41mm model of the Pixel Watch 4 is expected to have a battery capacity of around 325-327mAh, an increase of 5.9-7% from its predecessor, the Pixel Watch 3. The 45mm model, on the other hand, is rumoured to boast a battery capacity of 455-459mAh, representing an 8.3-9% increase.
These battery capacity enhancements could translate to significant improvements in battery life. With the always-on display enabled, the 41mm model may offer up to 30 hours of use, an increase of 6 hours compared to the Pixel Watch 3. In battery saver mode, the 41mm model may last up to 48 hours, compared to 36 hours previously. The 45mm model could potentially gain an additional 10 hours beyond the 41mm model's battery life.
Details on charging speed enhancements are less explicit, but sources mention faster charging as one of the expected improvements. While specific metrics have not been disclosed, the focus on both battery size and charging speed suggests a meaningful improvement over prior generations.
The Pixel Watch 4 is also rumoured to introduce a dedicated co-processor (M55) that promises up to 5x AI performance improvements while being more power-efficient, further supporting the battery life gains. The display is expected to be brighter, reaching 3,000 nits, and new features like side-charging for bedside clock mode are anticipated.
These improvements, if confirmed, could position the Pixel Watch 4 as a strong competitor in the smartwatch market. Google is expected to hold its Pixel event in August, and details about the Pixel Watch 4 may be announced then.
Here's a summary of the expected enhancements in the Pixel Watch 4:
