Google Pixel Watch 4 Full Specs Leaked Ahead of Launch

The next generation of Google’s wearables, the Pixel Watch 4, is on the horizon, and a series of fresh leaks have revealed nearly every detail about the highly anticipated smartwatch. With its official unveiling scheduled to coincide with the Pixel 10 series launch event reportedly set for August 20, 2025, users already have a detailed look at what to expect from the Pixel Watch 4 lineup.

Key Specifications

Unchanged Chipset

Contrary to some user expectations, the Pixel Watch 4 sticks with the Snapdragon W5 Gen 1 chipset—the same processor seen in the Pixel Watch 2 and 3. This chip, launched in 2022, continues to power Google’s wearable lineup as the company readies its own custom Tensor wearable processor, expected to debut next year with the Pixel Watch 5. Despite its age, the W5 Gen 1 remains competitive in its class and has been refined through Google’s optimizations.

Physical Design & Sizes

• Two Sizes: 41mm and 45mm options—the latter a first for the Pixel Watch lineup—codenamed “meridian” and “kenari”, inspired by Star Wars planets.

• Thicker Build: At 14.3mm thick—up from 12.3mm in the previous generation—the case may feel chunkier, likely to accommodate the larger batteries.

• Display: Expect an always-on AMOLED screen with slightly reduced bezels and improved durability.

• Case Colors/Bands: Fans have more personalization options, with new case colors and diverse band styles including sport and leather.

Battery & Charging

• Notable Battery Increase: The 41mm model jumps to 327mAh (a 7% boost), and the 45mm reaches 459mAh (up 9% from Pixel Watch 3’s large size). This should offer longer use between charges, even without a new chip.

• Faster Charging: Details on charging speed remain scarce, but improvements are expected.

Features & Software

• Wear OS 6: The new watch debuts with Google’s latest Wear OS 6, featuring the expressive Material 3 UI, improved notification management, and battery optimizations.

• AI and Health: Deep integration with Gemini AI, enhanced health tracking (loss of pulse detection, SpO2, heart rate), Pixel Phone camera controls, and Google Wallet are all confirmed or expected to carry forward.

• New Functions: Rumors mention increased repairability and possibly MEMS sensors for better accuracy on health data, though these features remain speculative at launch time.

Launch Timing & Price

• Expected Launch: Pixel Watch 4 will be unveiled alongside the Pixel 10 series around August 20, 2025.

• Pricing: Early estimates suggest pricing may start at $349 for the 41mm and $399 for the 45mm models, consistent with past generations. However, this is unconfirmed and subject to change.
