The device appears to flaunt a 6.70-inch touchscreen display, offering a resolution of 1440×2960 pixels. It could further show off a Porcelain White color with a triple rear camera setup housed in a single pill-shaped island. The device is rumored to be powered by an octa-core Google Tensor processor and runs Android 14. The Pixel 8 series could come with a 4950mAh non-removable battery and support wireless charging, as well as proprietary fast charging. Furthermore, reports suggest that the Pixel 8 series could receive up to 5 years of OS updates. Interestingly, Google might be planning to make the Pixel 8 series eSIM-only devices in certain regions.
Google Pixel Watch 2 rumoured specifications
The Pixel Watch 2 is rumored to be powered by a Qualcomm Snapdragon W5 series chipset. It is expected to run on Google’s Wear OS 4, ensuring seamless integration with Android smartphones. In terms of design, the latest smartwatch is likely to feature an aluminium body. The Pixel Watch 2 is also expected to come with an impressive battery life, lasting more than 24 hours on a single charge and with an always-on display (AOD) turned on. For those who love customization, the Pixel Watch 2 could offer four new watch faces namely Accessible, Arc, Bold Digital, and Analog Bold.
