The Google Pixel Watch 4 is the next entry in Google’s celebrated wearable lineup, and we just got a great look at a set of new leaks. The images come courtesy of Steve Hemmerstoffer, better known as OnLeaks, as well as 91mobiles. In addition to 5K renders, we also have a 360-degree video that lets us examine the phone from multiple angles.

Right off the bat, you’ll notice the Pixel Watch 4 hasn’t shifted away from the circular design of the Pixel Watch 3 in any major way, but it does look to have smaller bezels. That’s not surprising, given the ongoing push across the entire industry for smaller bezels on every display.

Things start to look a bit different on the backside, though. The four charging pins seem to have vanished, and OnLeaks suggests the Pixel Watch 4 could support wireless charging rather than the USB-C port of the Pixel Watch 3. It has two new buttons — one on either side of the speaker — but exactly what those do isn’t clear yet. Given their placement, it wouldn’t be a stretch to assume they are volume up and volume down buttons.

The Pixel Watch 4 isn’t a major departure from its predecessor, but there are a few new additions that pique our interest. It’s rumored to come with a new chipset, or possibly even an in-house Tensor chip, but its launch is still a long way off. For now, what it might contain is all speculation.

While there’s still a ton we don’t know about this upcoming device, we can make a few guesses based on Google’s prior history. For example, it will most likely be available in 41mm and 45mm sizes, as well as in a few new colors. It’s highly unlikely that Google will only provide a black option, especially when previous models came in silver and champagne gold.

I tried to parody the most absurd AI products, but the tech industry beat me to it
The joke was supposed to be that every household object gets cameras, AI insights, and a premium tier. Apparently, that’s now a business plan
Imaginary AI products

I wanted to invent an AI product so silly that no founder could turn it into a seed round.

It had to solve a problem nobody had, collect far more data than the problem deserved, and turn normal behavior into an insight that sounded vaguely disappointed in its owner. Somewhere around the third feature, it would ask for a subscription.

Samsung’s upcoming Galaxy Watches may cost more than their predecessors, but the latest leak suggests buyers will at least get some meaningful hardware upgrades for the extra money.

WinFuture claims to have obtained the technical specifications for the Galaxy Watch 9 series and Galaxy Watch Ultra 2. Samsung reportedly plans to replace its Exynos processors, increase battery capacity on selected models, and introduce updated connectivity hardware across the lineup.

XREAL’s $299 AR glasses are finally here, and they could be a great travel companion
These AR glasses give you a 147-inch virtual display you can carry around in your pocket

XREAL announced its lower-cost xbx sub-brand earlier this year, and its first product is now available in the U.S. The xbx a01+ costs $299 through XREAL’s online store, putting it below the company’s more expensive AR glasses.

The a01+ is mainly built for watching videos, playing games, or using a laptop on a large virtual screen. It connects to compatible phones, handheld consoles, and computers over USB-C, so it works more like a wearable display than a standalone headset.
