The upcoming Pixel Watch 4 will feature a new charger design for the series, according to the sources at Android Headlines.
According to the latest report, the Pixel Watch 4 will need to be placed sideways into its charging dock. As we have seen from previous leaks, the new watch has a speaker and a docking mechanism on the side opposite to the crown. We can now assume that the new charger attaches into the two slots next to the speaker to charge the watch.
The previous Pixel Watch models featured the charging connectors on the back of the watch. However, the leaked image for Pixel Watch 4 shows no contact patches on the back, which could also have suggested a wireless charger. It seems Google has gone with a simpler approach and simply moved the charging connectors to the side. As an advantage, you can also see the watch face while the watch is charging on your bedside table. Moreover, the Pixel Watch 4 is said to charge 25% faster than its predecessor.
The charger design is the latest in a series of leaks around Google's upcoming wearable. We already know what it looks like, and that it will come in a 41mm and a 45mm variant. The displays are said to go up to 3000 nits and that it will seemingly use the same chipset as the Pixel Watch 3. Prices are expected to start at €399 for the 41mm variant and €449 for the 45mm variant.
The Pixel Watch 4 will be revealed alongside the Pixel 10 family.
