According to a leak, Google’s Pixel Watch 3 is set to feature major display upgrades that could eliminate the notoriously thick bezels.
Are you tired of those chunky bezels and dim screens on smartwatches? Google seems to have heard your complaints! The Pixel Watch 3 is gearing up to bring some much-needed improvements. Let’s dive into what we can expect from this latest iteration.
One of the biggest gripes with the previous Pixel Watches has been the thick bezels. Well, the Pixel Watch 3 is trimming the fat. This new model is said to feature 4.5mm bezels, a nice drop from the 5.5mm on the Pixel Watch 2. This means more screen space and a sleeker look.
How about using your watch outside without squinting? The Pixel Watch 3’s display is going to shine—literally. It’s rumored to hit a brightness of 2,000 nits, doubling the Pixel Watch 2’s 1,000 nits. So, whether you’re out for a run or just checking notifications in the sun, you should have no trouble seeing your screen.
Google isn’t just stopping at looks. The Pixel Watch 3 will keep the same Qualcomm Snapdragon W5 platform as the Pixel Watch 2 but with a twist—it’s getting Ultra-Wideband (UWB) support. This could open the door to cool features like precise device finding and using your watch as a digital car key.
If you like options, you’re in luck. The Pixel Watch 3 will come in two sizes: 41mm and 45mm. The smaller model will pack a 310mAh battery, while the larger one gets a beefier 420mAh battery. More juice means more time between charges, which is always a win.
Style matters, and Google is offering some fresh colorways. For the 41mm version, you’ll see options like:
- Silver with a Rose Quartz band
- Black with an Obsidian band
- Gold with a Hazel band
The 45mm version will also sport some cool combinations:
- Silver with a Rose Quartz band
- Black with an Obsidian band
- Silver with a Porcelain band
The Pixel Watch 3 is stepping up its game with 5 GHz Wi-Fi support, promising faster data transmission. Plus, the FCC listing confirms the Ultra-Wideband range, enhancing features like Watch Unlock and Find My Device.
We’re also getting a bump in resolution. The 41mm model will feature a 408 x 408 display, while the 45mm will sport a 456 x 456 display. This means sharper, crisper visuals on your wrist.
Google is expected to unveil the Pixel Watch 3 alongside the Pixel 9 series at the Made by Google event on August 13th. With all these rumored enhancements, it looks like a worthy upgrade for anyone sporting an older model or looking to dive into the smartwatch world.
Ready to upgrade? Or are you waiting to see what other surprises Google has in store? Either way, the Pixel Watch 3 is shaping up to be a game-changer in the smartwatch space.
