Google Pixel Watch 4 may get new features, bigger batteries: What to expect
New Delhi
The anticipated Google Pixel Watch 4 series is expected to bring modest upgrades, with a few notable enhancements. According to a report by Android Headlines, slightly bigger batteries, new colour options, and subtle hardware tweaks aimed at allowing repairability of the Pixel Watches are expected in the upcoming series. Additionally, as per a 9To5Google report, a French deals and coupons platform has revealed pricing information of the Pixel Watch 4 series.
Notably, Google has scheduled the Made by Google event for August 20 where it is expected to unveil the Pixel Watch 4 lineup, alongside the next generation Pixel 10 series smartphones. Here is what consumers can expect from the Pixel Watch 4 series.
Google Pixel Watch 4 series: What to expect
According to a consumer technology focused news platform, Android Headlines, one key addition that consumers can expect from the next generation of Pixel watches is the extension of blood oxygen (SpO2) monitoring. Unlike current models that track SpO2 only during sleep, the Pixel Watch 4 may offer all-day monitoring, with alerts for low oxygen levels.
The report also hints at a possible 'Emergency Satellite Communications' feature, though specifics remain unclear at the moment.
Another new function tied to Android 16 is "notification cooldown," which reduces notification noise by disabling sounds and vibrations when alerts come in too frequently. This is expected to be available on the Pixel Watch 4, likely as part of the broader Wear OS 6 update.
As for the processor, the Pixel Watch 4 series is expected to be powered by Snapdragon W5 Gen 1, akin to its predecessor. However, it might ship with a new co-processor (likely a Cortex-M55) that could allow Google to do more, especially around AI. The 41mm model may feature a 327mAh battery (a seven per cent increase over the Watch 3's 307mAh), and the 45mm model a 459mAh battery (a nine per cent increase over the Watch 3's 420mAh).
Google Pixel Watch 4 series: Expected pricing
As per the 9To5Google report, the Pixel Watch 4 (41mm) is expected to be priced at 399 Euros for the Wi-Fi model and 499 Euros for the LTE variant in France. The larger 45mm version is likely to cost 449 Euros for Wi-Fi and 549 Euros for LTE.

Man gets $12,500 in compensation after Google Street View clicks him naked
A man in Argentina has been awarded $12,500 (nearly Rs 11 lakh) in compensation after he was photographed completely naked in his backyard by a Street View car. The man successfully argued in court that his dignity was harmed despite being behind a six-and-a-half-foot wall in a small Argentine town in 2017. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now According to a report by CBS News, the man, who is a police officer, claimed the privacy invasion led to ridicule at his workplace and among his neighbours. The image reportedly showed his bare behind and failed to blur his house number and street name, which were visible online. He initially sued Google in 2019, but a lower court dismissed the case, citing the man's "inappropriate condition" outdoors. However, an appeals panel reversed that decision this month. Google had defended itself by claiming the perimeter wall was not tall enough. What the court said while ordering Google to pay the compensation "This involves an image of a person not captured in a public space, but within the confines of their home, behind a fence taller than the average-sized person. The invasion of blatant,' the court said, favouring the man. Ordering Google to pay out the compensation amount, the court said: 'No one wants to appear exposed to the world as the day they were born." The court also pointed to Google's practice of automatically blurring faces and license plates as an indication that the company recognised its responsibility to prevent harm to third parties. However, in this case, the judges noted that the man's 'entire naked body' was visible and said the image should have been flagged. Replying to this, the company said that 'if you would like us to blur your entire house, car, or body, submit a request using the 'Report a problem' tool.' iQOO Z10R 5G goes on Sale: BEST Budget Phone for Content Creators?

US senator's letter suggests Apple may not be the only tech company fighting UK's ‘backdoor' entry request
Senator Ron Wyden has formally requested Tulsi Gabbard , Director of National Intelligence, to initiate an investigation into the UK's alleged digital spying practices, raising alarms that British surveillance laws may be compromising the private data of millions of Americans. In a letter, Wyden suggested that Google, alongside Apple , may have been secretly pressured to allow 'backdoor' access to user data. The senator's concern stems from Google's refusal to clarify if it has received such a demand, stating only that it would be prohibited from disclosing such a request if one existed. Citing the letter, The Washington Post said Google told the Senator's office it could not confirm or deny whether the British government had demanded 'backdoor' access to private user data on its services. This raises serious questions about whether Google, like Apple, has faced such secret demands. Apple has resisted the attempts to access encrypted user data , with reports surfacing earlier this year that the UK Home Office had secretly ordered Apple to create a backdoor for encrypted messages. In response, Apple disabled its most secure data storage option for UK users, while maintaining it globally. Wyden had previously written to Gabbard, urging her to demand the UK retract its order. Gabbard had concurred, calling such a backdoor demand 'a clear and egregious violation of Americans' privacy and civil liberties.' Apple is currently challenging the order in a British surveillance court. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like She Was Everyone's Dream Girl In 90's, This Is Her Now The Latest Article Undo Google may have faced Apple-like pressure from UK: Wyden Wyden's latest letter suggests that the privacy implications extend far beyond Apple users. While Meta, offering encrypted messaging via WhatsApp and Instagram, told Wyden's office in March it had received no such backdoor requests from the UK, Google's non-committal response is deeply troubling, he said. 'When my office asked Google about backdoor demands from the UK, the company did not answer the question, only stating that if it had received [such a demand], it would be prohibited from disclosing that fact,' Wyden wrote, noting this was the same response Apple had previously given.
