Google isn't the best at keeping secrets and most gadget fans won't be too surprised to learn the next Pixel Watch is likely to launch alongside the Pixel 10 series later this year.

There's likely months before the Pixel Watch 4 gets official, but alleged renders of the device have leaked today courtesy of tipster OnLeaks (via 91Mobiles). And as far as we can tell, Google is sticking with what's familiar.

That's not a bad thing, of course, because the current Pixel Watch 3 garnered 4.5 stars in our review.

If these renders are accurate, the Pixel Watch 4 will keep the same circular design, albeit thicker at an alleged 14.3mm. The Pixel Watch 3 measures 12.3mm in thickness and the extra weight could be down to an improved battery.

The watch is expected to launch with 41mm and 45mm sizings and in both cases it looks like the bezels around the screen have been slimmed down.

A few more cryptic hardware changes include the addition of two buttons — one on each side of the speaker. This could be a riff on the Apple Watch Ultra's Action button as a way to quickly toggle a workout but we'll have to wait to find out.

There's also the fact the Pixel Watch 4 seems to be missing charging pins at the back. Which, according to OnLeaks, could mean it'll support wireless charging.

Imagens divulgadas mostram o smartwatch apenas na cor preta, mas espera-se que a Google lance opções de cores adicionais para que os utilizadores possam combinar o relógio com as novas cores dos dispositivos Pixel. A linha Pixel Watch está a emergir como uma alternativa forte aos smartwatches premium, especialmente para antigos utilizadores do Fitbit. Algumas funcionalidades de saúde que antes exigiam uma assinatura Fitbit Premium estão agora disponíveis gratuitamente no Pixel Watch 3.

Como estamos a falar da Google, é provável que surjam breves fugas de informação sobre o próximo Pixel Watch 4. Persistem dúvidas, como se o dispositivo passará a usar um chip Qualcomm personalizado em vez do CPU Fitbit SW5100 e do coprocesador Cortex M33 do Pixel Watch 3. Fique atento para mais rumores e atualizações sobre o próximo dispositivo vestível da Google.
