Google Pixel Watch leaked images reveal its likely design

Google has a history of being lousy at keeping secrets. Yet again it has proven indiscreet as the company’s upcoming smartwatch has apparently been “left and found at a restaurant in the U.S”. And so, whomsoever spotted it has managed to capture photos of it from various angles and shared it with Androidcentral. These newly leaked images of the so-called Pixel Watch align with its early leaked renders and rumors. So, let’s learn how the Google watch looks like and what we know of it from the leaks thus far.

Google Pixel Watch: Design, Specs and Features (Expected)

Google’s smartwatch could be round, unlike Apple’s square or squircle. It appears to be minimal in its demeanor in the leaked shots. 

The watch could come out in other color choices too. Speaking of which, the accompanying pictures of the Pixel Watch band show its blue color and jelly-like build, similar to the Apple Watch strap. Like the watch case, the bands could also be optable in more colorways. However, what’s mildly disappointing is that the band seems not that easy to swap, as it has a unique design from the market standard.

The watch has got metallic accents on the surrounding frame, the crown, and the base. As per the source, the bottom side “looks metallic but feels like it’s coated with glass.” It is described as “well-built and premium” but “glossy and glassy”. Along the metallic frame, there is a narrow slit which could be its speaker outlet.

Google Pixel Watch leak | Source: u/tagtech414 (Reddit)​

Now, soon after this leak, allegedly from the same source, a reddit post came answering some more questions about this Google smartwatch.

The redditor who goes by the handle u/tagtech414 says, “No charger was left, and the battery is dead.” We wonder if the Pixel Watch supports Qi Wireless charging. It would be great if it does.

Although the watch in the images is a black-colored one and the screen is mostly off, we can’t make out the bezels, the guy suggest it has “pretty substantial” borders.

Coming back to the band, he mentions of “a little lip under each button so the bands should catch and lock in”. And while you put it on, the base of the watch apparently doesn’t make that much contact with the skin.

Dimension-wise, the person claims it's about the same size and thickness as his 46mm Galaxy Watch. He further adds that it’s about ½ inches thick and 1 ½ inches in diameter.

He also tells, the watch did boot up to the G logo screen only and didn’t move past that, perhaps because of a missing fully-loaded OS. By the way, Google could ship its first twatch with the Wear OS 3 software co-developed with Samsung. Even the underlying processor could be an Exynos and not Snapdragon Wear, as identified within a Google Update code by folks over at 9to5Google.

Incidentally, in another leak by EVLeaks (via 91Mobiles), we get to see the Pixel Watch face renders with Fitbit, and a heart rate scanning icon. The watch carries a model name — “Rohan” 

Well, that’s about we could gather from the reddit thread and other leaks so far. We will be keeping an eye on the said reddit post as well as other Pixel Watch leaks and revelations in general. The first Google smartwatch is expected to come either at Google I/O 2022 in May or alongside the Pixel 7 series in the fall.

Google to kill third-party call recording apps for Android phones starting May 11

In case you hadn’t noticed, call recording has been gradually vanishing from Android phones.  In late 2020, all OEMs baring Samsung and Vivo have replaced custom dialer with Google dialer that doesn’t support automatic call recording. There were a few third-party apps that users could use, but they have been actively discouraged by Google and none of these offers a complete solution. It’s thus not very surprising that Google is further tightening the noose and has made policy changes that will effectively kill call recording on the Play Store. 

Google disabled the call recording API with Android 6.0 and blocked call recording over the microphone with Android 10. Since then, developers have been using the Accessibility API for recording calls over the microphone. A new Play Store policy update will now prevent third-party apps from requesting Accessibility API for remote call recording. The change will come into effect starting May 11, 2022. 

Pre-loaded apps will continue to support call recording

Google clarified that this change will only affect third-party apps and phones that have pre-loaded call recording apps won’t be affected. 

“Remote in this context refers to call audio recording where the person on the other end is unaware of the recording is taking place. So, if the app is the default dialer on the phone and also pre-loaded, accessibility capability is not required to get access to the incoming audio stream and hence would not be in violation. Since this is a clarification to an existing policy, the new language will apply to all apps starting May 11th,” clarified Google in a recently streamed developer webinar. 

Most Android phones in India including those from OnePlus, Oppo, Realme, Xiaomi, and Poco use Google Dialer as the primary dialer app. Google Dialers allows call recording in supported regions but the recording starts with a prompt audible to both caller and receiver. There is no option for automatic call recording either. Samsung and Vivo are the two popular Android OEMs that still use custom dialers and continue to offer the auto call recording option. 

It's still not clear how Google will enforce the policy change after May 11. Developers will have to modify their apps in line with the new policy changes or Google could unlist the apps from Play Store for non-compliance.

Apple iPhone 14 series tipped to get autofocus front-facing cameras and new design

It's no secret that Apple is working on its new iPhone 14 series which will be launched later this year. And ahead of its launch, information about the phones has started to make its way to the web. As per the latest information from Apple analyst Ming-Chi Kuo all the iPhone 14 series phones will come with autofocus front-facing cameras with an f/1.9 aperture. This would represent a major upgrade over past iPhones which have previously used fixed-focus selfie lenses.

If this indeed ends up being true, it would be great news for buyers looking to upgrade to the upcoming iPhones as the addition of autofocus will not only improve video calling but also because of a bigger sensor users would be able to click photos in daylight and low light conditions. 

Apple iPhone 14 could come with autofocus front-facing cameras

Apart from this, other reports in the past have suggested that finally, Apple could make serious design changes as it is redying to ditch the notch and instead go for a punch-hole design. Reports suggest the iPhone 14 series will come with an “exclamation mark” punch hole at the top centre of the display. However, this will be the only major design change coming to the new phones as the devices will be keeping the Lightning Ports. Despite already moving to a USB Type C port for charging MacBooks and iPads, it appears iPhone 14 series will still be stuck with the Lightning Port because of the chassis following the old design. 

But, there will be some changes to the underlying technology, as reports claim that the Lightning Ports technology will see an upgrade to USB 3.0. While the Lightning Ports in the current-gen iPhones operate at USB 2.0, after the upgrade it would be upgraded to USB 3.0 and as a result transfer speeds would go up to 5 Gbps. But, this would be only limited to the iPhone 14 Pro and iPhone 14 Pro Max. While the regular iPhone 14 models will bring the older generation USB 2.0 Lightning Port.
