The strap fastening system will change
Google is now preparing to announce the new smartwatch Pixel Watch 3. Meanwhile, high-quality renders of an enlarged version of the future new product have become available online – Pixel Watch 3 XL. They were published by the famous online informant Steve Hemmerstoffer under the nickname Onleaks together with the thematic resource AndroidHeadlines. They also published a video with a three-dimensional computer model of the future new product.
According to the source, the display diagonal of the Google Pixel Watch 3 XL will be 1.45 inches, which is noticeably larger than the 1.2-inch Pixel Watch 3 and both previous generations of Pixel Watch.
In addition, the Pixel Watch 3 XL will be thicker. Google will increase the thickness of the watch case to 13.89 mm. The overall dimensions of the watch will be 45 x 45 x 13.89 mm. This is expected to allow for a larger battery and more sensors.
The strap fastening system will also change slightly. This means that the Pixel Watch 3 and Pixel Watch 3 XL bands will not be interchangeable. Also, the new product will not be able to use old straps from Pixel Watch 2.
Steve Hemmerstoffer has a long track record of creating authentic renders of various smartphones before they are announced. Such leaks include Samsung Galaxy S21, Huawei Mate 40, Pixel 5, Sony Xperia XZ4, Google Pixel 4 XL and much more.
