Pixel Watch 3’s specification (rumours)
Reportedly, new rumours on the details about the Pixel Watch 3's technical specifications have begun a debate in the tech market. However, the display is expected to get an upgrade to a smoother 60Hz screen, adjustable from 1Hz for the Always-on Display to 60Hz when in use.
Additionally, with this display upgrade — still using the same chip and a brighter and faster display — has raised concerns over the battery life.
