With Google set to host its annual I/O conference this week, a new report by 9to5Google, citing sources has said that the next edition of Google Pixel Watch will be unveiled later this year along with the Google Pixel 8 and Pixel 8 Pro. This comes days ahead of the launch of the Pixel 7a, the Pixel Fold and the purported Pixel Tablet on May 10. The Google Pixel 7a will be available in India a day later, on May 11, the tech giant has already confirmed.

The 9to5Google report says, citing to a source, the Pixel Watch 2 (which may not be the final name) but would match the naming scheme for phones, is currently scheduled to launch alongside the Pixel 8 and Pixel 8 Pro. Google historically announces and then releases its flagship phones in October. Apple too, traditionally unveils its iPhone lineup in September every year. 

The first iteration of Pixel Watch was unveiled at the Google I/O developer conference in 2022 after a prototype was left at a restaurant a month ago and its images were heavily circulated by tipsters. However, the final product launched by Google in May 2022 ended up looking much better than the leaked pictures.

To recall, the first Google Pixel Watch was launched at the "Made By Google" event alongside the Pixel 7 series devices last year. It is the first smartwatch released by Google and comes with an almost bezel-less circular dial, unlike the Apple Watch series. The Pixel Watch sports a 1.2-inch AMOLED display with up to 1,000 nits of brightness and an Always-on mode. The Pixel Watch is powered by an Exynos 9110 SoC, paired with a Cortex M33 co-processor and 2GB of RAM. Connectivity options include Bluetooth v5.0, 4G LTE wireless connectivity, and 2.4GHz Wi-Fi options.

Google Pixel 7a promo images suggest 13MP selfie camera

The Google Pixel 7a will be unveiled in India on May 11, a day after the tech giant unveils the smartphone at the Google I/O annual conference on May 10. Famed tipster named Roland Quandt has shared promotional images and specs of the Pixel 7a, which shows the handset in three colours: carbon, arctic blue and cotton. However, there's no mention of the coral/orange colour that was teased a few days back.

Quandt has posted images of the upcoming Pixel 7a and a spec sheet that draws a comparison between last year's Pixel 6a and the upcoming Pixel 7a. According to the purported alleged marketing materials, there would be a 6.1-inch full-HD+ display on the Pixel 7a with a refresh rate of 90Hz. The device will be powered by Google's proprietary Tensor G2 SoC.

There would be a dual rear camera at the back of the Pixel 7a dominated by a 64MP primary wide sensor coupled with a 13MP ultrawide sensor. There could be a 13MP selfie camera at the front. Unlike the Pixel 6a, the Pixel 7a will support both fast wired charging as well as wireless charging.
