Key points
- Pixel Watch 5 codenamed "godric" in Google Play Console.
- Retains Qualcomm SW5100 chip (same as Watch 2, 3, 4).
- Features 3 GB RAM, up from 2 GB.
- Increased RAM may enable Gemini Intelligence features.
Core Specifications Revealed
A Google Play Console listing for the Pixel Watch 5, codenamed "godric," indicates the device will use the Qualcomm SW5100 chip. This chip is the same base processor found in the Pixel Watch 2, 3, and 4, with unchanged CPU (4x ARM Cortex-A53 at 1700 MHz) and GPU (Qualcomm Adreno 702 at 1000 MHz).
RAM Upgrade Noted
The Pixel Watch 5 is expected to feature 3 GB of RAM, marking the first increase from 2 GB since Google's initial entry into wearables. This RAM upgrade contrasts with Samsung's Galaxy Watch 9, which maintains 2 GB of RAM.
Potential for Gemini Integration
The increased RAM is presumed to facilitate the integration of Gemini Intelligence capabilities into the Pixel Watch 5. While the main processor remains the same, the co-processor's status is not mentioned in the listing, leaving open the possibility of an upgrade there.
Design and Comparison
A leaked image associated with the listing shows a new analog watch face incorporating Gemini's Neural Expressive design language, matching previous leaks. For comparison, Samsung's Galaxy Watch 9 utilizes a 3nm Snapdragon Wear Elite chip with a different core configuration.
