The Pixel Watch 3 will be unveiled alongside the Pixel 9 series at the Made by Google event on August 13th. While the event is still a bit away, leaks about the smartwatch have already started surfacing. Anticipation is growing for thinner bezels and a larger size compared to previous models, and recent leaks confirm these expectations.
What will the Pixel Watch 3’s display be like?
Leaks about Google’s Pixel Watch 3 substantiate earlier speculations. The new model is expected to be larger and thinner. According to the FCC listing, the upcoming model has been approved for Ultra-Wideband (UWB) frequency. Additionally, reports indicate that the Pixel Watch 3 will support 5 GHz Wi-Fi, enabling faster data transmission.
A new report from Android Authority adds more details to previous speculations. The Wear OS smartwatch is reportedly ditching thick bezels, reducing them to 0.17 inches (4.5mm) in both sizes. Although it’s slimmer than previous models, it still isn’t as thin as the Apple Watch. However, the new design looks more elegant.
More Details on Pixel Watch 3 Features
Android Authority’s report confirms some of the leaked display features. The Pixel Watch 3 will be powered by the Qualcomm Snapdragon W5 chipset, offering similar features to the previous model.
The flagship smartwatch will boast a significantly brighter display, with up to 2,000 nits of brightness—almost double that of previous models. This enhanced brightness will notably improve outdoor visibility in direct sunlight. The smartwatch will offer a resolution of 408 x 408 for the 41mm screen size and 456 x 456 for the 45mm screen size.
The inclusion of Ultra-Wideband (UWB) support will enhance the Watch Unlock feature and introduce additional capabilities. The case design will be similar to the previous generation, with silver and black color options for both sizes. The 41mm model will come with a gold case, while the larger screen will be offered with a hazel case.
Google seems to be making numerous changes this time, both in the early announcement of the event and the features of the devices. As the event date approaches, we can expect more surprises.
