Google has abandoned Samsung<\/a> and is switching to TSMC<\/a> for future Tensor chipsets \u2013 the first, the Tensor G5, will power the Pixel 10 series and is already doing the rounds on Geekbench<\/a>. The upcoming Pixel Watch 4, however, is not changing chipsets.<\/p>\n

The latest report is that Google will reuse the same chipset as on the Watch 3 and the Watch 2, the Snapdragon W5 Gen 1<\/a>. This 2022 chip is fabbed on a 4nm node and has four Cortex-A53 cores.<\/p>\n

\"The<\/p>\n

We recently heard that Qualcomm is working on a Snapdragon W6<\/a>, with one big Cortex- A78 core and four A55 cores, but it seems that Google has no interest in that. Instead, the company may just be biding its time until its custom Tensor chip<\/a> is ready in time for the Pixel Watch 5. That\u2019s what we heard back in late 2024 and the leak indicated that the Tensor chip will have the same 1x A78 + 4x A55 setup as the W6 \u2013 that\u2019s also the same configuration as the Exynos W1000<\/a> that Samsung reused for the Galaxy Watch8 series.<\/p>\n

Back to the Google Pixel Watch 4. We\u2019ve seen renders<\/a>, which pointed to a thicker body \u2013 14.3mm, up from 12.3mm. The latest info indicates that both sizes \u2013 the 45mm model code named \u201ckenari\u201d\/FK23 and the 41mm model code named \u201cmeridian\u201d\/FME23 \u2013 will have larger batteries, which may explain the chunkier build.<\/p>\n

\"The<\/p>\n

The Pixel Watch 4 41mm will have a 327mAh battery (+20mAh from the Watch 3 41mm), while the 45mm model will have a 459mAh battery (+39mAh). Those represent +7% and +9% increases, respectively. That\u2019s not much considering the W5 Gen 1 chip is not the most efficient around. Charging speeds will be increased too, but no concrete numbers have leaked yet.<\/p>\n

Besides offering a choice between 41mm and 45mm size, the Pixel Watch 4 will come in Bluetooth and 4G flavors. And it will be available in several colors<\/a> with different bands ranging from two-tone leather through Active Sport band and to metal mesh bands. We expect that the new Pixel Watch 4 will be unveiled alongside the Pixel 10 series.<\/p>\n
