Pixel Watch 4: Details

The Pixel Watch 4 marks a major shift for Google’s smartwatch lineup, introducing a repairable design for the first time. Earlier Pixel Watches could not be serviced, often forcing users to replace them entirely, but the new hardware makes repairs possible, according to Google.

 

The smartwatch features a new Actua 360 display with slimmer bezels and a more pronounced curve, offering a peak brightness of 3,000 nits — a 50 per cent jump from last year’s 2,000 nits. Running on WearOS 6, it brings Gemini integration and AI-driven smart replies to the wrist, along with a refreshed Material 3 Expressive interface optimised for its circular screen.

 

Google has also reworked the charging system by shifting the connectors to the side, which enables faster charging and extends battery life by up to 25 per cent. The company claims the Pixel Watch 4 can now reach 50 per cent charge in just 15 minutes.

Pixel Buds 2a: Details

The Pixel Buds 2a come equipped with 11 mm custom dynamic drivers, active noise cancellation (ANC) using Google’s Silent Seal 1.5, a transparency mode, and a pressure relief design for comfortable long-term use. For clearer calls, they feature Bluetooth Super Wideband support, dual microphones, and wind-resistant mesh covers. The earbuds also include touch controls, an infrared sensor for in-ear detection, and a hall effect sensor in the case for lid status.

 

Powered by the Google Tensor A1 chip and connected via Bluetooth 5.4, the Buds 2a is said to promise up to 10 hours of playback without ANC, or 7 hours with ANC enabled. With the charging case, total battery life has been claimed to extend to 27 hours without ANC and 20 hours with it.

 

A five-minute top-up in the case provides around an hour of playback with ANC. Charging is handled through a USB-C port. The earbuds are available in Hazel and Iris, each weighing 4.7 grams, while the case weighs 47.6 grams with buds included. They are rated IP54 for water and sweat resistance, while the case is IPX4.
