Google's Next Move UWB and Bluetooth LE Audio in PixelWatch3

TapTechNews July 14th news, foreign media AndroidAuthority, when exploring the Google WearOS5 developer preview version, found that strings such as UWB Ultra-Wideband Technology and Bluetooth LE Audio were newly added in the settings, suggesting that the PixelWatch3 that Google plans to launch next month is very likely to support related functions.

TapTechNews note: UWB Ultra-Wideband Technology is a short-range wireless communication protocol mainly used for accurately locating the distance and direction between objects. Google introduced related features for Android 12 in 2021, and in the same year, Google released its first smartphone with related functions, Pixel6Pro.

Foreign media believes that Google's introduction of UWB Ultra-Wideband Technology for PixelWatch3 is mainly used for the finding function, allowing users to easily find the watch using the mobile phone or use the watch to locate the mobile phone and tracker.

In addition, the Google WearOS5 developer preview version adds support for Bluetooth LE Audio technology. This technology can save battery usage when audio streaming, and at the same time supports headphones to be connected to multiple devices simultaneously. The newly added strings in the Google WearOS5 developer preview version imply that in the future when the PixelWatch3 smart watch is connected to a pair of headphones that support LE Audio (such as Samsung's GalaxyBuds3 series headphones), a switch will appear in the system, allowing users to configure the relevant Bluetooth LE Audio function.
