Check out the Pixel Watch 4 in its new Moonstone, Indigo, and Lemoncello colors
TL;DR Renders showing off the Pixel Watch 4's colorways have surfaced.
It's said that the case colors will be Black, Silver, Gold, and Moonstone.
The Active band will reportedly use a new material to make it more comfortable.
The Pixel Watch 4 will be among the new products that will appear at the Made by Google event next month. Earlier today, we were treated to renders of the upcoming smartwatch and its new charging dock. If that wasn't enough, more renders have emerged, showing off some of the colors we can expect to see.
This is not the first time we've heard about potential color options for the Pixel Watch 4. We previously reported on a leak that revealed we could see the following case colors: Black/Obsidian, Gold/Lemon, Moonstone, Silver/Iris, and Silver/Porcelain. That story also mentioned a few of the colors for the various bands. However, recently surfaced renders (via Android Headlines) provide us with our first look at some of these options.
This report includes the color options for both the 41mm and 45mm sizes. This leak further corroborates the previous leak, pointing to Black, Silver, Gold, and Moonstone being the case colors. As for the straps, we get a glimpse at the Active Band in Obsidian, Porcelain, Moonstone, and Iris. There are also renders of the Sports Band in Lemoncello and Indigo.
Of course, these won't be the only colors available for these bands. It's also expected that there will be plenty of other types of bands, like two-tone leather and metal mesh.
According to the report, Google is using a new type of material for the Active Band. This new material will reportedly make it more comfortable to wear. Additionally, it appears the Stretch Band will once again be reserved for the 41mm model.
Google's Pixel launch event is scheduled for August 20. It's expected that devices will start shipping not long after, on August 28.

Walker Sands Launches AI Domain Impact Index to Advance PR Strategy and Measurement in the Generative AI Era
CHICAGO--(BUSINESS WIRE)--With Generative AI reshaping how audiences discover, trust and engage with brands, Walker Sands has launched the AI Domain Impact Index to help B2B organizations maximize PR effectiveness. The Impact Index enables smarter earned media efforts to drive brand discoverability in today's GenAI-powered buyer journeys. As Google's search dominance declines and GenAI platforms drive increasingly more traffic, the channels for reaching B2B audiences are shifting rapidly. This evolution demands a new approach to PR measurement and target media prioritization. Because GenAI platforms rely heavily on credible third-party content, strategic media placements play a critical role in shaping brand visibility and trust in AI-assisted buyer journeys. The AI Domain Impact Index offers insight into how earned media influences GenAI search results — and ultimately, how brands appear in AI-driven decision-making workflows. 'AI is rapidly changing how people discover and engage with information, and marketers can't afford to rely on outdated assumptions about which media platforms are most influential,' said Annie Gudorf, EVP at Walker Sands. 'The AI Domain Impact Index gives brands critical insights on how to stay visible and credible by identifying the digital domains that matter most in today's landscape.' A New Standard for Measuring Media Impact in an AI World The AI Domain Impact Index assigns a 0–100 score to any web domain based on an evaluation of five weighted criteria: organic search, inclusion, on-page, real-time retrieval and citation appearance. Unlike traditional vanity metrics, the Impact Index connects PR outcomes to tangible visibility in AI search — giving marketers a clearer, ROI-driven view of their PR strategy's influence over time. Importantly, scores within the Impact Index evolve over time, with GenAI models continually adjusting how they prioritize sources and media publications to optimize for LLMs. This reinforces the need for dynamic, data-informed media strategies and positions the Impact Index as a critical tool for staying ahead of shifting AI model behavior. In an initial analysis of over 600 earned media placements from client programs, Walker Sands evaluated 292 unique media domains using the AI Domain Impact Index. The results are encouraging: 51% of placements were categorized as high impact, meaning they are highly likely to influence GenAI search responses. 44% were moderately impactful, and only 4% fell into the low-impact tier. Notably, outlets like TechTarget, Apple Podcasts, ZDNet and ITPro ranked among the highest-impact sources, while some traditionally trusted media platforms scored lower. These findings validate that AI search visibility depends on a different set of content signals than traditional SEO and that earned media strategies must adapt accordingly. 'We've seen shifts in domain ranking in GenAI responses compared to just a few months ago, as well as media publications actively optimizing their content for better discoverability," said John Fairley, SVP Marketing Operations + SEO. 'The Impact Index gives us critical, real-time insight into these changes, allowing us to partner with our clients to maximize discoverability potential through earned media.' Learn More Walker Sands is among the first B2B agencies to operationalize generative AI search dynamics within PR workflows. The AI Domain Impact Index signals a bold evolution in how brands prepare for the future of search. To explore how the AI Domain Impact Index can elevate your PR program, click here.

Has 5G lived up to the hype? People are united in this survey.
Eric Zeman / Android Authority 5G phones have been on the market for over five years, and I vividly remember how the entire industry hyped up this tech. From industrial applications and remote surgery to unforeseen advancements and cars that talk to each other, companies breathlessly declared how 5G would change the world. Now that the dust has settled, colleague Rob Triggs conducted a deep dive to find out whether 5G actually lived up to the hype. He also asked readers for their opinion, and here's what you told us. Has 5G lived up to the hype? Over 4,500 votes were counted, and it turns out that the vast majority of respondents thought 5G was overhyped. In fact, just over 85% of polled readers voted this way. This isn't a surprise, as companies incessantly hyped up 5G to the point of incredulity. One of the most infamous examples was the oft-repeated claim that remote surgery could be possible via 5G. This was accompanied by other pie-in-the-sky claims, like your 5G-equipped car downloading 100GB in just a few seconds via a mmWave-equipped traffic light. And of course, there's my favorite way of promoting 5G, as countless execs said 5G could enable use-cases we can't even envision right now. Real-world results show that 5G has improved speed and latency, but nowhere near the industry's claims. Furthermore, geographical coverage is still an issue outside urban areas. Otherwise, 7.2% of respondents said 5G has lived up to the hype, while 7.5% said they weren't sure. I'm not sure I understand why people voted for the former. I can understand if you had low expectations. I can also understand if you lived in an area with poor 4G coverage that now has a healthy 5G signal. Then again, reader xenokc-ads rightfully notes that capacity was one benefit: What the carriers got was more capacity. If 5G didn't happen and everyone still on LTE then we'd either have much lower speeds or very tight caps with possibly no unlimited plans available. It's not just because more bands were added using 5G. 5G also has about double the capacity (via spectral efficiency) for the same amount of spectrum for the same bands including the older ones. 5G was overhyped but still necessary. It's worth noting that the reader still thought it was overhyped. Nevertheless, 5G was supposed to address network congestion, too. I can confirm that 5G hasn't adequately addressed this problem after attending a concert in January. Got a tip? Talk to us! Email our staff at Email our staff at news@ .

Pixel Watch 4 leak once again points to life-saving feature (APK teardown)
Rita El Khoury / Android Authority TL;DR Recent code findings in the Satellite Gateway app corroborate that the Pixel Watch 4 could feature emergency satellite communications. This satellite connectivity feature appears to be exclusive to Pixel Watch devices, with code specifically referencing 'isPixelWatch.' It's possible the feature could be routed through a satellite-compatible Pixel phone, potentially allowing it to come to older Pixel Watch generations in the future. The Pixel Watch 4 is expected to introduce some nifty changes, like its polarizing new charger, which you can love and hate simultaneously, and even a Breathing Emergencies tool to detect when your oxygen level falls too low. Leaks have suggested that we can look forward to Emergency Satellite Communications on the Pixel Watch 4. Now, we've spotted more clues to corroborate that this feature is indeed coming to Google's upcoming smartwatch. Authority Insights story on Android Authority. Discover You're reading anstory on Android Authority. Discover Authority Insights for more exclusive reports, app teardowns, leaks, and in-depth tech coverage you won't find anywhere else. An APK teardown helps predict features that may arrive on a service in the future based on work-in-progress code. However, it is possible that such predicted features may not make it to a public release. The Satellite Gateway app is one of the apps responsible for the Satellite SOS features on Pixel phones. In the latest v20250707 of the Satellite Gateway app, we've spotted several bits of code that directly reference the feature within the context of a smartwatch: Code Copy Text " Here, ' references the Adaptive Connectivity Service app, which helps direct the UI for pointing your device towards a satellite for connection. We also see a mention of 'watchui' in the activity, which clearly indicates the feature making its way to a smartwatch. But is the emergency satellite communications feature coming to all Wear OS smartwatches? Several parts of the obfuscated code for the satellite connectivity feature includes checks like 'isPixelDevice:%s' and, more importantly, 'isPixelWatch:%s,' indicating that the feature is most likely destined only for the Pixel Watch. The next question is whether the emergency satellite communications feature will be exclusive to the Pixel Watch 4. We haven't spotted any code that specifically ties the emergency satellite communications to the Pixel Watch 4. Further, devices need specialized hardware for satellite connectivity. We've seen Google's biggest competitor, Apple, offer features like Emergency SOS via satellite for the Apple Watch, but this connection is routed through a compatible iPhone rather than undertaken through the smartwatch itself. It would make sense if Google adopts a similar route, as internal space is significantly constrained within a smartwatch. Suppose Google routes Pixel Watch 4's upcoming emergency satellite communications feature through the phone (potentially a Pixel phone only, i.e., serving merely as an extension for Satellite SOS on Pixel). In that case, there's also the possibility that the feature could come to older generations of the Pixel Watch. Don't hold your breath, though, as the company might keep the feature exclusive to the new watch hardware and only open it up to older watches through software updates farther in the future. Google hasn't shared any confirmation for the Pixel Watch 4 or its leaked Satellite SOS feature. We'll keep you updated when we learn more. Follow
