Pixel Watch 4 leak gives best look at charging contacts & ‘Gen 3 sensor hub’

The latest Pixel Watch 4 leak comes from marketing materials that tout Google’s upcoming wearable as having “significant technological advancements over its predecessors,” while we get a better look at the charging system.

This leak shared on Reddit appears to be training materials for retailers. The first slide talks about the Pixel Watch 4’s “Premium crafted design.”

The “cover glass” is described as “3D domed” and “curved,” which is already the case today. Nevertheless, Google says the Pixel Watch 4 has the “next era of 3D shaped by water design.” In having the display “extend further to the edge,” it remains to be seen how much the bezels have shrunk year-over-year.

Another slide says it is “Built with Gorilla Glass for increased resilience.” The Pixel Watch 3 has “Custom 3D Corning Gorilla Glass.”

With the new Quick Charge Dock, Google touts “a lot faster” charging (25%) with a better charging screen interface. There’s also “Moisture detection,” with this providing our best look at the charging contacts (and underside). The two protrusions are within the speaker cutout. Meanwhile, the 41mm gets 30 hours of battery life, while it’s 40 hours for the 45mm.

This leak says the Pixel Watch 4 is “Equipped with a Gen 3 sensor hub for precise activity monitoring.” To date, Google has not versioned this spec. Design-wise, it harkens back to the original underside.

“With Gemini” is a big sell of the Pixel Watch 4 and the slides tout “deeper integration” and other “AI-Enabled” functionality.
