New data from a large leak of Google’s future Tensor plans reveals that the company may be working on a custom chip for Pixel Watch that could arrive in the next couple of years.
Google’s Pixel Watch series has, so far, been powered by off-the-shelf chipsets from Samsung and, for the past two years, Qualcomm. The Pixel Watch 2 and Watch 3 have both been powered by Snapdragon W5+ chipset, Qualcomm’s latest and drastically improved chip for smartwatches. That’s led to significantly better battery life compared to the outdated Exynos chip that was used in the first Pixel Watch.
However, it feels inevitable that Google would follow the same strategy as its phones and move the chip for its smartwatch in-house too, and it seems that’s happening relatively soon.
