Google Pixel Watch 5 Specs Surface: 3GB RAM Upgrade, Same Qualcomm Chip
Details for the upcoming Google Pixel Watch 5 have emerged from the Google Play Console. The smartwatch is expected to feature an upgraded 3GB of RAM, though it will reportedly use the same Qualcomm SW5100 chip as its predecessor.
Specifications for Google's next Pixel Watch, reportedly named Pixel Watch 5, have been revealed through analysis of the Google Play Console. The device, codenamed "godric," is expected to continue utilizing the Qualcomm SW5100 platform, meaning the CPU and GPU configurations will remain unchanged from the previous model.
The listed specifications confirm a setup with four ARM Cortex-A53 cores operating at a maximum frequency of 1700 MHz, paired with a Qualcomm Adreno 702 GPU running at 1000 MHz. The most significant upgrade appears to be the increase in RAM from 2GB to 3GB. This additional memory could enhance the watch's overall performance and better support advanced AI features like Gemini Intelligence.
Notably, the leak does not indicate a new primary chipset, suggesting Google may be focusing on software optimization and user experience enhancements for this iteration. For context, the Pixel Watch 4 was updated to the Snapdragon W5 Gen 2 platform, which enabled satellite SOS capabilities, and its coprocessor was upgraded from Cortex-M33 to M55.
In terms of aesthetics, the Pixel Watch 5 is rumored to be available in four color options: Dark Anthracite, Natural Silver, Pyrite, and Warm Gold. Specific release dates and pricing details have not yet been confirmed.
