Recently there were rumours that Google
is planning to launch its own smartwatches with Google Assistant
integration. Now, an image claiming to be of the rumoured smartwatches
has surfaced on the web.
The image shared by Android Police shows the two watches codenamed 'Angelfish' and 'Swordfish' that are expected to launch alongside the Google Nexus smartphones later this year. The image renders by the website are said to be recreations of the two alleged smartwatches.
The larger one out of the two is the 'Angelfish' smartwatch, which has a prominent crown button alongside two extra buttons on top and bottom. There is a new watch face seen on the image as well showing more information than what we seen in current watchfaces. The particular model is also said to be non-compatible with Google MODE Android Wear watch bands.
It will be a completely standalone smartwatch and will feature 4G LTE connectivity, GPS and heart rate monitor.
The smaller 'Swordfish' smartwatch is seen sporting a minimal look. It is thinner and lighter than 'Angelfish' and will also support MODE Android Wear watch bands. The report adds that there will also be a small gap between the watch body and the visible area. Unlike 'Angelfish', this smartwatch is expected to not come with support for LTE connectivity and GPS.
The website also says that Google is still in prototyping stage, which means that the final product may be appear different from these renders.
As per previous rumours, these Android Wear smartwatches are expected to come with Nexus branding. At this year's I/O, Google announced a major update to its Android Wear platform. The biggest feature of Android Wear 2.0 is support for standalone apps. The update also adds keyboard and hand-writing recognition, along with general interface overhaul.
