Google smartwatch specifications leaked
Last month, @evleaks revealed that the forthcoming Google smartwatch is being developed by LG and that it is likely to be unveiled at the Google I/O later this year. Now, the serial leakster has revealed a set of specifications for the wearable device.
According to the leakster, the LG-made smartwatch will sport a 1.65-inch (280×280 pixels) IPS display with a pixel density of roughly 240ppi and includes features like 512MB of RAM and 4GB of internal storage. As we reported before, Google’s smartwatch is said to be designed as an accessory rather than an independent device. In other words, it will be dependent on an Android smartphone to function. Google’s philosophy behind the smartwatch is that you shouldn’t need to take your phone out to see who sent a text, or an email among others. The smartwatch will instead display Google Now like notifications in conjunction with your smartphone and the UI is said to be very gesture-driven.
Though wearable devices are yet to pick up, 2014 is touted to be when they are likely to strike gold and Canalys expects over 17 million such devices to ship this year. We are bound to hear more as we inch closer to the I/O conference, so stay tuned.
