Google made an exciting announcement last Friday about its new offerings in India. They're all set to launch the Pixel 8 and Pixel 8 Pro, and you can start pre-ordering them exclusively on Flipkart from October 5.

As for the nitty-gritty details like the price and specs of the Pixel Watch 2, Google is keeping us in suspense for now. However, they did give us a sneak peek of its design in a video posted on X. It sports a stylish porcelain-colored band and looks quite similar to its predecessor, the Pixel Watch. Interestingly, the Pixel Watch never made its way to India before, so this is some exciting news for tech enthusiasts in the country.

Pixel Watch 2: Expected specifications

Google has been pretty tight-lipped about the Pixel Watch 2's specifications, leaving us in suspense. However, there have been some leaks and reports circulating about what we can expect from this smartwatch.

One recent report suggests that the Pixel Watch 2 might pack a Qualcomm Snapdragon W5 series chipset. It's not clear whether it'll be the Snapdragon W5 or its beefier sibling, the Snapdragon W5+. What's intriguing is that it's rumored to offer a battery life of over 24 hours, even with its always-on display (AOD) feature active. This should be great news for users who want a smartwatch that doesn't run out of juice halfway through the day. It's also expected to run on Wear OS 4, Google's wearable operating system.

Additionally, there's talk of four new watch faces making their debut with the Pixel Watch 2: Accessible, Arc, Bold Digital, and Analog Bold. As for the build, it's likely to sport an aluminum body, which should make it both stylish and durable.

Some hints from the Google Play Console listing suggest that it might be powered by a Qualcomm SW5100 SoC, which is believed to be a part of the Snapdragon W5 family. All of these leaks and reports are certainly building up the anticipation for the Pixel Watch 2's official reveal.
