Latest News:  pixel watch

Google is rumoured to launch its first smartwatch in October alongside the Pixel 6 and Pixel 5a. Before it happens, we've already seen some leaked renders that show off a casual sporty design rather than a premium stainless steel design. Now, a source has arrived claiming that the upcoming Pixel Watch will also use a Samsung's SoC.

Last week, it was rumoured that Google would finally launch its first Pixel Watch. The smartwatch has been in development for quite some time before being allegedly cancelled. But new renders of the device could mean that the device would be coming this year.

While Google is a big contributor to the Android open source project, the company doesn't make much in the way of actual hardware. A few years ago, Google and LG were working on a Pixel Watch but that it got cancelled in the end. Now, a new rumour claims that Google is going to launch it after all.

Google just announced their Google Pixel 3 and Pixel 3 XL smartphones last night, and despite their camera improvements over the Pixel 2 series, we can’t help but draw parallels with the camera improvements pushed by AI powered phones like the Huawei P20 Pro. The Super Res Zoom, which enhances digital zoom sounds like a poor man’s copy of the hardware enhanced Hybrid Zoom while Fused Video Stabilization sounds just like AI Stabilization.

The unreleased upcoming Night Sight update also sounds like a carbon copy of Huawei’s Night mode, but Huawei already have a Super Night Mode update on the way for phones like the Huawei Nova 3 and others. Long known as the defacto standard for Android cameraphones, perhaps the time is nigh for photographers and camera fans to start looking towards Huawei and their upcoming Huawei Mate 20 series for the cameraphone innovations of 2018? Is the Huawei Mate 20 the new cameraphone king of 2018?

Based on a statement made by Evan Blass on his Twitter account, there may be a chance we could see Google releasing their take on smartwatches with the Google Pixel Watch. Not only that, there were several evidence to back up Evan’s claim on the upcoming smartwatch such as Google developing 3 WearOS watches codenamed Ling, Triton and Sardine and all of them are equipped with the Snapdragon Wear 3100 which brings significant boost in battery performance.
