Pixel Watch 5 specs leak with no chip upgrade, but more RAM - 9to5Google

What the report says

9to5Google reports that a Google Play Console listing has surfaced for the expected Pixel Watch 5, suggesting Google’s next smartwatch may retain much of the hardware platform used in recent models. The listing identifies the device by the codename “godric” and points to a Qualcomm SW5100 base chip, with CPU and GPU details matching last year’s configuration: four ARM Cortex-A53 cores at 1.7 GHz and an Adreno 702 GPU at 1.0 GHz.

According to the report, that would mean the Pixel Watch 5 continues on the same broad Snapdragon W5 platform Google has used since the Pixel Watch 2. 9to5Google notes that the Play Console entry does not list the co-processor, leaving open the possibility of changes there, but the available information indicates no obvious main chip upgrade. The article contrasts this with Samsung’s Galaxy Watch 9, which it says uses Qualcomm’s newer 3nm Snapdragon Wear Elite platform.

The most notable apparent hardware change is memory. The listing indicates 3 GB of RAM, up from 2 GB in prior Pixel Watch generations. 9to5Google suggests that additional memory could support Google’s Gemini-related features, though the report does not confirm specific software capabilities for the watch.

The article also says the listing includes an image consistent with earlier leaks, including an analog watch face using Gemini’s “Neural Expressive” design language. If accurate, the leak points to an iterative Pixel Watch 5 update: a familiar design and processor, paired with more RAM and potentially software-focused improvements. Google has not announced the device in the supplied report, so the final specifications remain unconfirmed.
