The Pixel Watch could have had 1GB of RAM, 8GB of storage
The Google Pixel Watch (Review) was one of the most popular and anticipated devices of 2022. The wearable launched with RAM and storage comparable to the competition. However, it appears that Google didn’t originally intend for it to. According to a new report, a Reddit user accidentally bought a prototype of the Pixel Watch, and the specs were pretty surprising.
As we know, the Google Pixel Watch launched with 2GB of RAM and 32GB of storage. Sure, that may sound like what you would have gotten on a 2015 mid-range phone, but that is a lot for a modern smartwatch. This lends to the performance and the number of apps that you can download on the device.
However, the Pixel Watch prototype had specs that were not quite robust
A Reddit user ordered a Pixel Watch that had some extreme burning on the screen, along with terrible performance and spotty charging. When they tried to reset the watch, the watch said that it had “less than intended Ram”, and asked if they still wanted to pair it.
Upon entering the fastboot mode, the user saw that this model had only 1GB of RAM and only 8GB of storage. That’s half the amount of RAM that the Pixel Watch debuted with and a fourth of the storage. In the post, the user stated that this was possibly a scam or a knockoff. However, it appears that this is a prototype of the Pixel Watch.
Looking at the specs, it appears that, somewhere along the line, Google planned on giving this watch very mild specs. While smartwatches typically have pretty modest specs, only 1GB of RAM and 8GB of storage would have definitely been a major letdown.
This is especially true because it is one of the pricier smartwatches on the market. The cheapest version of the Pixel Watch costs $349.99. If Google launched this watch at that price with those specs, people would not have liked that.
In any case, the user said that they had shelled out for a used Galaxy Watch 5. So, life goes on.
