The online magazine Androidpolice has learned this from a trusted source. Accordingly, there will be two different smartwatches - there is not yet a final name. For this, however, the code name: Angelfish and Swordfish. First good news: Both smartwatches will probably have a completely round display - a flat-tire design, as in the Moto 360, so it will not give.
At prices or release dates is not yet known. Androidpolice is fairly certain is that actually worked on these watches, but it is always possible that Google einstampft the watch project before the performance.
Google smartwatch: Angelfish
The SmartWatch Angelfish remember a little of the Moto 360 and LG Watch Urbane 2nd Edition. Angelfish is about 14 millimeters thick, which is to be, among others, the LTE module and a fairly large battery. The display will have a diameter of 43.5 millimeters. Three buttons are available for the operation, their positioning clearly correspond 2nd Edition in about the LG Watch Urbane.
Google smartwatch: Swordfish
Swordfish is the slightly smaller version of the Google Watches. The display size is 42 millimeters, and Swordfish to be 10.6 millimeters high. An LTE module is not planned at Swordfish. there is only one button available for operation.
What does Google achieve its own smartwatches?
A concrete base for the development of Google smartwatches not knows Androidpolice. However, some considerations seem quite plausible. Above all there is the market position of Android Wear. Of course, there are now some Android Wear Watches, however, it has become fairly quiet in terms of marketing and innovation. Samsung is also working on its own watch line based on Tizen OS. Google might be the view so well that the wearable market can tolerate a new impulse.
Sundar Pichai announced in June, Google will be more involved in new hardware products - he said, Google wants to be "more opinionated" at Nexus hardware. It is conceivable, therefore, that these two smartwatches Google exclusive features spendiert get. For example, Google could the announced to I / O 2016 Google Assistant reserved his own watch. Own watches may also have the advantage that Google here has its own demo Smart Watches for the future development of Android Wear - the developer Preview for Android Wear 2.0 runs only on the Huawei Watch and the LG Watch Urbane 2nd Edition.
What do you think of the two smartwatches? Will Google show the other producers, such as smart watches or you tried Google desperately to keep a failed idea alive?
