Sources close to Google plus say the Pixel Watch could come with a Samsung-derived Exynos 9110 chipset, the same one the Galaxy Watch sat on… As of 2018!
He was one of the big stars at the last Google plus I/O 2022, and that’s finally the case The Mountain View giant dared to relaunch Wear OS equipped with an ambitious device, the new Pixel Watch all FitBit technology to revolutionize the Android watch catalogue.
And yet, a few days later, the pitcher of cold water that none of us expected arrives, and that’s it 9 to 5 googlesa specialized medium and very close to the Google plus ecosystem, directly published the first details of its hardware A pixelated clock that’s modern on the outside and old on the insideat least if the Samsung Exynos 9110 chipset.
We won’t talk about design because nothing has been written about it and that’s the truth Google plus has a well-defined personality for its productsin this case with a minimalist but very careful finish that is preserved halfway between a smart watch Retro and futuristic device thanks in part to that distinctively curved glass.
The problem is not exactly in the design, which many like and others less, but rather an electronic platform that Google plus did not want to highlightbut apparently it will be a bit outdated with an original Samsung chipset and (make sure!) four years of service life.
The modern Pixel Watch could be powered by the Samsung Exynos 9110 chipset, the same one that powers the first Galaxy Watch in 2018.
From the beginnings of the Pixel Watch and especially the last one Collaboration between Samsung and Google plus, especially on Wear OS and the Galaxy Watch4, there have always been rumors about that California would use a South Korean chipset his first smart watch the new generation.
Definitely the industry and all of us We expected Google plus to go for the Exynos W920 bringing this Galaxy Watch4 to life with Wear OS, and not the Exynos 9110 used by Samsung since 2018 on all your watches Tizen for wearables to the Galaxy Watch3, which isn’t really being upgraded to Wear OS.
With the Exynos W920, the improvement is obvious because we’re talking about it Processor made in 5 nanometer technology with 20% better performance than the previous generation, as well as 10 times better graphics performance and y también significant advances in energy efficiency.
it’s clear nothing official at the moment and it is a rumor spread in a specialized medium He speaks from a close source that he believes to be reliable It keeps the door open for Mountain View to finally enlist the services of a more modern chipset like the Exynos W920.
they do not know each other the reasons that would lead to one or the other decisionwhether it was due to supply problems or a design problem, but the truth is, if Google plus wants to present us with the perfect watch for any Android device, the Apple Watch for its platform to understand us. to bring into the world with an anachronistic and outdated chipset it doesn’t offer much credibility.
We’ll have to wait for confirmations for now the alarm is still activated and the request to google plus has been sent… Please let the Pixel Watch integrate a modern chipset!
