Pixel Watch 5 Leaks With 3GB RAM as Google Reuses Qualcomm SW5100 Chip

Summary

  • A Google Play Console listing shows Pixel Watch 5 will ship with 3GB of RAM—up from 2GB—while keeping the same Qualcomm SW5100 platform.
  • The leak points to unchanged core processing specs from last year: 4 ARM Cortex-A53 CPU cores at 1.7GHz and an Adreno 702 GPU at 1.0GHz.
  • The listing does not mention the co-processor, leaving room for a smaller internal upgrade even as Google appears to retain the broader Snapdragon W5-based platform used since Pixel Watch 2.
  • That RAM bump could help enable Gemini Intelligence features, and the console image also matches earlier design leaks, including a new analog watch face with Gemini's Neural Expressive styling.
