Google Pixel Watch 4 Leaked Renders Reveal Subtle Design Tweaks, Hint at Wireless Charging Support

April 11, 2025 . Tech News — With months still to go before its official unveiling, the Google Pixel Watch 4 has already started making waves in the tech world. Thanks to newly leaked high-resolution renders, fans and industry watchers are getting an early glimpse into what’s next for Google’s flagship smartwatch. While the overall look stays familiar, some noteworthy design changes and tech upgrades are reportedly in the works — including wireless charging support.

Familiar Design with Sleeker Refinement

Prominent tipster Steve Hemmerstoffer (@OnLeaks), in collaboration with 91Mobiles, has released 5K renders and a 360-degree video of the Pixel Watch 4. The smartwatch appears in a sleek black finish, maintaining the signature round dial seen in previous models. However, it reportedly features slightly thinner bezels, offering a more refined aesthetic.

One of the more striking details in the renders is the absence of the four magnetic charging pins on the back — a hallmark of earlier Pixel Watch generations. This suggests a possible shift to wireless charging, aligning with broader industry trends and enhancing convenience for users.

Slightly Thicker Body Hints at Bigger Battery

According to the leak, the Pixel Watch 4 will be 14.3mm thick, making it slightly bulkier than the Pixel Watch 3, which measured 12.3mm. While this may sound like a step back in terms of sleekness, the added thickness could be to accommodate a larger battery — a welcome upgrade for users seeking longer battery life.

Like its predecessor, the Pixel Watch 4 is expected to come in 41mm and 45mm size variants, retaining user flexibility. The renders also show two physical buttons flanking the speaker, maintaining a tactile interface while offering potential improvements in functionality.

Launch Timeline and Pricing Expectations

While Google has yet to confirm a launch date, the Pixel Watch 4 is expected to debut later this year, likely alongside the Pixel 10 series smartphones during the company’s Made By Google event. The Pixel Watch 3 launched in August 2024, so a similar timeline for the next-gen model seems probable.

In India, the Pixel Watch 3 launched at:

• ₹39,900 for the 41mm Wi-Fi model

• ₹43,900 for the 45mm Wi-Fi modelWith wireless charging and hardware upgrades on the horizon, pricing for the Pixel Watch 4 may see a marginal increase, though official details are yet to be revealed.
