The Pixel 11 Pro brings back one of BlackBerry's best features, but Google gets it all wrong
HiLight has so much potential, but it really doesn't do very much right now.
Google has unveiled factory and OTA images for the Pixel Watch 5, marking the release of a single unified build, CD5A.260611.00, for the wearable device, also known as "goteria." Wear OS 7, Google's operating system, is built upon Android 17, introduced to existing devices in June. It remains uncertain which features from the Pixel Watch 5 will eventually make their way to older devices.
The upcoming update is expected in September, coinciding with the Q3 Pixel Drop event. Traditionally, separate builds were provided for Bluetooth/Wi-Fi and LTE models, but this unification may simplify the build process. A leaked Google Play Console listing referenced the "godric" codename, suggesting that "goteria" could be another portmanteau.
Flashing factory images on the Pixel Watch 5 requires a debug adapter, which Google distributes by invitation only - a convenience previously offered with the Pixel Watch 2 and 3 cables. For additional news, viewers can tune into 9to5Google on YouTube.
