Google Pixel Watch 4 rumors suggest a bigger battery is not just for a brighter screen and on-device AI. The watch’s specs have reportedly leaked, revealing an upgraded design with improved performance and battery life.
According to reports from Android Headlines, the Google Pixel Watch 4 will feature a larger capacity battery, allowing it to last up to 48 hours in battery saver mode, which disables the always-on display and dims brightness. The 41mm model will reach 48 hours, while the 45mm model will reach 72 hours.
Other improvements include a brighter screen with up to 3,000 nits of brightness, and a new co-processor to handle on-device AI tasks. Wear OS 6, the operating system running the Pixel Watch 4, is said to be battery-efficient, despite its features, promising 10% more battery life.
However, if battery saver mode impacts Gemini, Google’s AI-powered tool, users may still face limited battery life, as they will likely leave it off to use the watch’s full range of features. The Pixel Watch 4’s key selling point is expected to be its AI capabilities, making long battery life a mixed blessing.
As health-focused watches become increasingly popular, longer battery life is crucial for their usability. Google’s decision to equip the latest Pixel Watches with larger-capacity batteries is encouraging, but users must weigh the benefits against potential limitations.
