The Pixel Watch 5 has surfaced in the Google Play Console, revealing the same Snapdragon W5 platform used by recent Pixel Watches.

The listing also points to a RAM upgrade, possibly to assist new Gemini-powered features.

The accompanying image matches previously leaked renders, offering another look at Google’s upcoming smartwatch ahead of its expected August launch.

We’ve already gotten our first look at the Pixel Watch 5 through leaked renders, which showed off Google’s upcoming smartwatch in four colors. We’ve also heard about a rumored price increase for the wearable. Now, a fresh, sort of “official” leak is giving us a peek under the hood.

A new Google Play Console listing, spotted by folks over at 9to5Google , appears to reveal key hardware details for the Pixel Watch 5 ahead of its expected debut alongside the Pixel 11 series next month.

According to the listing, the Pixel Watch 5 is powered by Qualcomm’s SW5100 platform, featuring four Cortex-A53 CPU cores clocked at 1.7GHz and an Adreno 702 GPU. Those specifications are effectively unchanged from the Pixel Watch 4, and even the Pixel Watch 2 before it, suggesting Google is sticking with the same processor for a fourth consecutive generation.

That doesn’t necessarily mean nothing has changed. Last year’s Pixel Watch 4 upgraded to Qualcomm’s Snapdragon W5 Gen 2 platform to support features like Satellite SOS, despite retaining the same CPU and GPU configuration. The Play Console listing doesn’t reveal the Pixel Watch 5’s co-processor, so it’s still possible Google has made under-the-hood improvements that aren’t reflected here.
