A Fitbit Charge 7 could be on the horizon according to this FCC listing
A mystery Google wearable makes a second appearance
An FCC filing has revealed potential information about a forthcoming Google wearable device, possibly equipped with a screen and operating on the Wear OS platform. The device, identified by the Goertek-produced G8BL6 model number, features Bluetooth Low Energy (LE) and GPS capabilities. However, its absence of Wi-Fi suggests it may not be a full-fledged smartwatch, but rather a fitness band.
This particular wearable resembles the mysterious tracker that appeared in Pixel 11 advertisements, though the connection remains unverified. Recently, Google seemingly included a product tease in their Pixel 11 ads, showcasing an unidentified pill-shaped wearable alongside their phones and Pixel Watches. Despite their omission of a name, the FCC filing may provide the first hints about this mysterious gadget.
According to 9to5Google, the filing pertains to a "wireless device" manufactured by Goertek, a company known for its contributions to Pixel Buds. The G8BL6 model number follows Google's typical naming convention for in-house hardware, although the documents do not explicitly identify the product or its brand.
