The Pixel Watch 5 specs leak has revealed several key hardware changes for Google's upcoming smartwatch. The most significant update is the move to a new Snapdragon W5 Gen 2 "Accelerated" chip, which promises improved speed and performance. Additionally, the watch will feature a second-generation Active Band made of hydrogenated nitrile-butadiene rubber (HNBR) instead of the current fluoroelastomer.

Other notable upgrades include doubled storage capacity to 64 GB, increased RAM to 3 GB, and a slight increase in battery size to 332 mAh for the 41mm model and 465 mAh for the 45mm model. These changes, combined with the continued use of Wear OS 7.0 and the same features such as Actua 360 Display and water/dust resistance, suggest that the Pixel Watch 5 is poised to offer enhanced performance and features compared to its predecessor.
