Will Google introduce smart watches that can challenge the status of the Apple market?

The market for smart watches was dominated by Apple and Samsung Electronics (Samsung Electronics) for a long time. In particular, Apple did not list Apple’s concerns as a separate revenue item. However, in the previous quarter’s earnings report, Apple’s focus on selling special names was particularly high. As expected, but in the second half of 2018, it is rumored that Google may launch a new smart watch pixel concern, whether it threatens Apple and Samsung's position in the smart watch, has attracted foreign media discussion.

According to tech blogger Evan Blass, Google may launch Pixel 3/3 XL at the 3rd quarter product launch conference in 2018, and at the same time as the second generation Pixel Buds, it also launched a smart watch under the name of Pixel. This news Wear OS, Google's update wearable device operating system, and Qualcomm will also launch new wearable devices to handle news such as the Snapdragon Wear 3100 chipset. This will give people more curiosity about Google’s launch of its own branded smart watch.

Techradar analysis, Google launched the Pixel smart watch at least 3 points is worth the wait. First of all, due to a comprehensive software and hardware update, when Pixel Watch was launched this year, it should be the flagship model of the current wearable device products, especially Qualcomm's The wearable device chip Snapdragon Wear 2100 has not been updated since its launch in 2016. The new wearable device chip should be able to easily catch up with the hardware performance of the Apple Watch, and support aptX Bluetooth music format, VoLTE call function, GPS track, walk tracking, heart rate Monitoring, mobile payment, and other features of current smartwatches all have even more outstanding performance on the screen and endurance performance.

Second, in the name of Pixel, it means that Google will use the best hardware and software adjustment capabilities and technologies to launch flagship products. As the Pixel mobile phone is a benchmark for the performance of the Android system, this point is enough Peering into Google's level of development in smart wearable technology.

Last but not least, techradar believes that the most important thing is that Wear OS will support the use of the iPhone. This is an important consideration for Google to rename Android Wear to Wear OS. The future Wear OS device's operating experience on the iPhone is the same as that on Android phones. In the same way, iMessenger messaging is not available, but it can further promote iPhone users to contact Google Pay (to further replace Apple Pay), or to operate the iPhone application through the Wear OS device.
