Google launches Pixel Watch 2 with Snapdragon W5 Gen 1 chip

1

Pixel Watch was Google’s first take on smartwatches. It came with a minimal design, Fitbit integration, and all the Wear OS goodies. Now Google has launched its successor — the Pixel Watch 2! Here, we will be discussing everything the Google Pixel Watch 2 has brought to the table, its expected price in Nepal, specifications, and more!

Google Pixel Watch 2 Overview

Design and Display

Design-wise, the Google Pixel watch has not deviated much from its predecessor. It has the same round, domed design with 100% recycled aluminium for the housing and fluoroelastomer with a soft-touch coating Active Band. Furthermore, the display receives a custom 3D Corning Gorilla Glass 5 protection along with 5 ATM water resistance. The new watch from Google measures 41 mm in diameter, and 12.30 mm in thickness, and weighs just 31 grams without the strap.

Google Pixel Watch 2 Design

Up front, we are greeted with an AMOLED display with 320 ppi pixel density. It is capable of achieving 1,000 nits of peak brightness along with the DCI-P3 color gamut. The Google Pixel Watch 2 comes in three housing colors: Polished Silver, Matte Black, and Champagne Gold. It is then coupled with four colors of the Active Band: Bay (Light Blue), Obsidian (Black), Hazel (Grey), and Porcelain (White). You can get more Active Band options in the Google Store.

Performance

It was long speculated that the Pixel Watch 2 would be receiving Qualcomm’s new Snapdragon W5 Gen 1. We can now confirm, it is the case. To be more specific, the new smartwatch comes with Qualcomm 5100 coupled with Cortex M33 co-processor. Google promises smoother and stronger performance along with improved battery life with this combination.

Google Pixel Watch 2 sensors

Furthermore, the Google Pixel Watch 2 features a 2GB SDRAM and 32GB eMMC flash storage. In terms of OS, it is powered by their proprietary Wear OS 4.0. Google proudly says that the Pixel Watch 2 is the only smartwatch with all of Wear OS 4’s capabilities. They say that the new OS makes your watch more customisable and easier to use along with showing preview images and GIFs, one-tap actions, and added app choices.

Battery and the rest

The battery has been the main caveat of the original Pixel Watch and an upgrade was expected this time around. The Pixel Watch 2 ships with a 306 mAh lithium-ion battery, which is a mere 4% upgrade. However, Google claims the new smartwatch is capable of giving you 24 hours of battery life with always-on-display turned on. Furthermore, the watch can be fully charged in about 80 minutes with the USB-C fast charging cable, that comes in the box.

The Google Pixel Watch 2 features WiFi 2.4GHz, Bluetooth 5.0, and 4G LTE wireless connectivity along with NFC support. In terms of navigation, it features a five-way navigation system with GPS, GLONASS, BeiDou, Galileo, and QZSS.

    Google’s Pixel 8 Pro launched with Tensor G3 and tons of AI camera stuff

    0

    It’s October and the new Google Pixel 8 Series is finally official. There is a vanilla Pixel 8 and a Pixel 8 Pro, for which the search engine giant has bestowed the same Tensor G3 chip. Here in this article, we’ll be talking about the Pixel 8 Pro, its specs, features, availability, and expected price in Nepal.

    Google Pixel 8 Pro Overview:

    Similar Design

    Designwise, the Pixel 8 Pro retains a similar design to its successor the Pixel 7 Pro. However, things are a bit on the rounded side this time. You get a rounded (contoured) edge around the corners while the camera vizor is here to stay. Other than that, the device is IP68 certified against dust and water drips. Google ships this guy in three color options: Porcelain, Bay, and Obsidian.

    Google Pixel 8 Pro Design and Display

    Likewise, the smartphone sports a 6.7-inch OLED panel, which Google is flaunting as a Super Actua display. This flat screen boasts a 120Hz refresh rate, 2992 x 1344 resolution, HDR 10+ certification, 2400nits of peak brightness, and Gorilla Glass Victus 2 protection.

    A built-in thermometer

    Well, the Pixel 8 Pro has an actual thermometer. Yes, you read that right. The physical infrared thermometer is placed next to the camera module to measure body temperature without physical contact. For the time being, it can detect the temperature of beverages and surfaces. It’s still waiting for FDA approval for human body temperature sensing.

    Performance and Memory

    Moving on, the phone is powered by a Tensor G3 chip paired with Immortalis G715s MC10 graphics. This 9-core 5G silicon is fabbed under a 4nm process and features a prime Cortex X3 core clocking at 3.0GHz, four Cortex A715 cores at 2.45GHz, and four Cortex A510 cores running at 2.15GHz.

    It is paired with 12GB of RAM, and up to 1TB internal storage with UFS 3.1. As for the software, you get the latest Android 14 running the show. Also, the phone gets a 7-year OS and security updates promise, the highest to date on an Android smartphone. And a quick FYI, you can already try Android 15 beta on the Pixel 8 Pro.

    Optics

    The Pixel 8 Pro’s camera housing has also undergone a little makeover. All three main sensors are now placed inside a single cutout. The primary sensor is a 50MP shooter with f/1.7 aperture, multi-directional PDAF and OIS. While the secondary unit is a 48MP telephoto camera with OIS and 5X optical zooming capability. Last but not least is a 48MP ultrawide camera. For selfies and video calls, the hole-punch cutout houses a 10.5MP ultrawide front camera.

    Google Pixel 8 Pro Camera

    AI Features

    It’s a Pixel flagship and how can it pass without some cool AI features? Starting with Best Take, this AI tool will select the best-looking photo out of your burst shots with the best expression possible. Continuing the Magic Editor, the upgraded tool can now not only erase, but also lets you select a subject or a person, and move it all around.

    Google Pixel 8 Pro AI Features

    Likewise, the Audio Magic Eraser can identify background noise, providing a boost to your own voice. You also get a Zoom Enhance feature that can set the focus on your zoomed and cropped image, improving the overall image quality.

    Google Pixel 8 launched with Tensor G3 and 7 years of OS updates

    1

    Google just announced the Pixel 8 and Pixel 8 Pro smartphones alongside the Pixel Watch 2 and Pixel Buds Pro in yesterday’s “Made by Google” event. In this article, let’s talk about the design, features, specifications, and expected price in Nepal of the Google Pixel 8.

    Google Pixel 8 Overview

    Design and Display

    The new Pixel 8 features contoured edges, a satin metal finish, and a polished glass back. It is also smaller than last year’s Pixel 7 and weighs 10 grams lighter. We also get to see some new colors: Rose and Hazel, while the classic ‘Obsidian’ stays. The front, back, and frame don’t see any changes, at least on paper. They are protected by Gorilla Glass Victus and not the rumored Victus 2. Google Pixel 8 secures an IP68 rating just like its predecessor.

    Google Pixel 8 Design

    Moving on, we get to see a 6.2-inch ‘Actua’ screen which is 42% brighter than Pixel 7’s display. It is a 120Hz OLED panel with support for HDR10+ and a pixel density of around 428 ppi. The screen estate is a bit less though at ~91.1cm2 compared to the ~96.7cm2 on the Pixel 7.

    Performance

    The Pixel 8 features Goole’s 4nm Tensor G3 chip, which includes a 9-core CPU: one Cortex-X3 prime core, four Cortex-A715 cores, and four Cortex-A510 cores. For graphics, there’s a 10-core Arm Immortalis G715 GPU, an upgrade from the 7-core G710 used in its predecessor. Moreover, the handset runs on Android 14 out of the box.

    Google also announced an industry-leading 7-year software support including major Android updates, security patches, and feature drops. And the Pixel 8 has already tasted the Android 15 beta update.

    Google Pixel 8 Tensor G3 Processor

    As for memory, the vanilla Pixel 8 ships with 8GB of RAM and either 128GB or 256GB storage configurations.

    Camera

    As for the cameras, Pixel 8 has a dual setup on its back: a 50MP primary camera with an f/1.7 aperture, supporting PDAF and OIS, and a 12MP ultrawide camera with an f/2.2 aperture. That might not sound very different on paper, but the upgraded main camera captures better photos and videos in low light settings than last year’s Pixel 7. And the new ultrawide enables macro focus.

    The new selfie cam is a 10.5MP shooter with PDAF and a f/2.2 aperture.

    Google Pixel 8 Camera

    There are lots of new software features as well. For starters, the camera app has an intuitive, redesigned interface. Other features include:

    • Best Take uses on device algorithm to create a blended shot from a series of images to get everyone’s best look
    • Magic Editor uses generative AI to let you reposition, resize subjects ,and play around with background presets.
    • Auto Magic Eraser is a first-of-its-kind computational audio capability that uses advanced machine learning to sort sound into distinct layers so you can control levels of individual layers. Additionally, it also reduces distracting sounds in your video like the howling wind or crowd noise.

    The Pixel 8 Pro will also be getting Video Boost with Night Sight Video for better low light recording but that is missing on the vanilla Pixel.

    Battery and Charging

    Regarding the battery, the Pixel 8 is powered by a larger 4575mAh battery with up to 27W fast charging and 18W wireless charging. The phone can be juiced up to 50% in half an hour and also supports reverse wireless charging.

    In terms of connectivity, the handset features tri-band Wi-Fi 7, Bluetooth 5.3, GPS, GLONASS, BDS, GALILEO, QZSS, and USB Type-C 3.2, among other options. There’s also a cool feature to measure temperature through the camera but that’s exclusive to the Pixel 8 Pro.

    The most notable difference between Honor Band 6 and its predecessor is its screen size. Honor Band 6 now has a 1.47-inch AMOLED display. It is around 148% bigger than the screen on the Honor Band 5. The screen-to-body ratio here is 60%. To achieve this, Honor has gotten rid of the buttons on the front. Still, there is a physical button with a red accent on the right side of the band. Honor has used 2.5D curved glass for protection. To the left side lies the Honor branding.

    Users can pair the black Honor Band 6 with straps of three different colors – Meteorite Black, Seagull Grey, and Coral powder. Similarly, Honor also allows users to choose from 100+ custom watch faces.

    As expected from a fitness tracker, Honor Band 6 supports 24-hour heart rate monitoring (based on Huawei TruSeen 4.0), Blood Oxygen (SpO2) level detection, and sleep monitoring (based on Huawei TruSleep). Honor says that the band can warn users about atrial fibrillation and premature beats using the new atrial fibril risk prediction algorithm. Similarly, Huawei TruSleep technology can identify six sleep problems using four-stage monitoring and offer up to 200+ sleep improvement tips. Honor has also included Women Health Tracking this time around. Honor Band 6 Design

    Talking about sports mode, you get ten of them. The band also supports automatic recognition of select exercises such as indoor/outdoor running, indoor/outdoor walking, and an elliptical machine.

    Alongside the Honor 90 and 90 Lite, the company launched the Earbuds X5 in Nepal. Not to be confused with the phone of the same name, Earbuds X5 is a new budget TWS earphone. And, the price has got cheaper with the festive season getting closer and closer. So, let’s get into all the specifications, features, and official price of the Honor Earbuds X5 in Nepal.

    Honor Earbuds X5 Overview:

    Design

    Beginning with comfortability, the Honor Earbuds X5 is an exceptionally lightweight TWS. Each piece of the earbuds weighs nearly 3.8 grams, and even the case that comes with them weighs 35.4 grams. This, along with its half-in-ear fit, contributes to its restfulness.

    Moreover, the case is completely circular. It comes with a HONOR logo on the front and an LED near the bottom. However, the Earbuds X5 doesn’t have an official IP rating. And the only color the buds are available in is the plain white option.

    Audio

    On the audio side, you get two 13.4mm moving-coiled drivers, one on each earbud. Honor says the Earbuds X5 is tuned for deep and rich bass. The website only makes mention of AAC as a codec, but I’m pretty sure it also comes with SBC, too.
