Google PixelWatch3 Smartwatch Chip, Battery, Refresh Rate and More

TapTechNews August 8th news, the tech media AndroidHeadline released a blog post yesterday (August 7th), revealing that the Google PixelWatch3 smartwatch will continue to use the previous generation's chip, being the Qualcomm Snapdragon Wear 5100 chipset (SW5100) and Cortex M33 coprocessor.

TapTechNews cited sources that the Google PixelWatch3 smartwatch adopts the same 2GB SDRAM and 32GB eMMC flash memory as the previous generation, so the difference in performance of the new model is not significant.

Battery

The 41mm version of the PixelWatch3 smartwatch is reported to be equipped with a 307mAh battery, while the battery capacity of last year's PixelWatch2 is 306mAh, with a very small increase.

The 45mm version of the PixelWatch3 smartwatch will be equipped with a 420mAh battery. Since Google is expanding to launch the 45mm version for the first time, it cannot be directly compared with the previous generation product.

Finally supporting 60Hz refresh rate

An improvement of the PixelWatch3 smartwatch is that the screen refresh rate is upgraded to 60Hz, while the previous Pixel smartwatches are all 30Hz, thereby improving the interaction smoothness.

Moreover, the PixelWatch3 smartwatch will adopt a responsive refresh rate, which can be flexibly switched between 1Hz and 60Hz, and the refresh rate is reduced to 1Hz in the standby mode and increased to 60Hz in daily use.

Peak brightness 2000 nits

The peak brightness of the PixelWatch3 smartwatch screen is 2000 nits, but it can be adjusted to 1 nit in sleep and other scenarios.
