Google will launch the smart watch Pixel Watch in 2022
According to the news, Google is developing a new smartwatch (Google Pixel Watch/Google Android Watch), which is planned to be launched next year, once again making efforts in the wearable device market. The watch name is not confirmed but we assumed it has a Google pixel watch or Google android watch and the final name is still unclear.
The Google Watch code-named “Rohan” device will be equipped with the latest version of Google’s smartwatch software, according to an internal document.
As we all know, Google currently mainly develops software for smartwatches from partners like Samsung, which we know as wearOS but Google has not yet developed its own hardware devices. Google will put the smartwatch company in a one-on-one collision with Apple. The facts have proved that Apple Watch has achieved great success and has taken the leading position in the smartwatch market.
As we can see in the rendering, Google Smart Watch adopts a design, unlike Apple Watch which is round in form and adopts a borderless design. Like Apple products, this watch can also track health and fitness indicators.
The “Rohan” project has picked up pace since the beginning of this year. According to reports, Google has roped in employees from outside the smartwatch team to provide feedback on internal testing of this product. The most recent feedback collection was conducted in November.
In January this year, Google acquired the American health and iron products company Fitbit for US$2.1 billion. Fitbit has said that the company plans to develop devices equipped with Google’s operating system. However, Google does not currently intend to use the Fitbit brand on Rohan watches.
Not much information has been revealed about this watch yet, but it can be said that it will be a step above the Apple Watch 7. According to roomers, this is going to give a lot of competition to the Apple Watch series. Google Watches will be equipped with a heart rate monitor and provide basic health tracking functions,

Currently, navigation uses a blue arrow that you can swap for a car icon only after starting. A new update would move this customization earlier, letting you choose your vehicle icon before you even hit “Start.”You can change this arrow to different car icons, but only after you begin your trip.
Right now, you can only select a different car icon once navigation is active. By tapping your blue arrow icon or checking the menu, you can make the change, but this requires you to already be en route or about to begin.
Google Maps version 25.42.02.817770306 shows signs of letting you set your car icon in settings before starting a drive. This means you can personalize your map safely ahead of time, avoiding distractions while you’re on the move.

To make navigation more personal, Google Maps added new car shapes and colors for Android this year, following their iOS release. The move to let users set this preference in the settings menu is a smart safety and convenience feature, enabling preparation before you drive.
While it’s unclear when this will be widely available, Google commonly phases in new features. Once live, this update will allow for greater personalization and a more focused driving experience by minimizing in-journey screen interactions.

Message with more confidence. Google’s latest updates to its Messages app add a stronger layer of defense against scams, helping to ensure your conversations are secure from fake messages and dangerous links.
The new “Key Verifier” feature helps you confirm you’re really talking to the right person. You and your contact can simply scan each other’s QR codes to ensure your chat is private and secure.
To verify a contact, open your chat, tap the contact’s name at the top, and scroll down to “Verify keys.” Both you and your contact will see a QR code. Simply scan each other’s codes. Once matched, you will receive a confirmation that your chat is secure.
This tool is essential for discussing private matters. Please note that if a contact gets a new phone or SIM card, you must reverify them by scanning codes again. While this adds a step, it’s a small price to pay for ensuring your sensitive conversations remain secure.
Google Messages now automatically blocks links inside any message marked as spam. This prevents accidental clicks. If you need to access a link mistakenly flagged as spam, you must first move the message out of the spam folder.
All these changes have one job: to keep you safe. They might not stop 100% of scams, but they add great new defenses to protect you from tricksters.
In a new teaser for its fans, Google has not only hinted at an Android PC but has finally pinned down a launch date: 2026. This confirms the plan to debut the first Android-powered computer next year, complete with a suite of dynamic features.
At the Qualcomm Snapdragon 2025 Summit, Google confirmed a 2026 launch for its Android PC and outlined its vision for the innovative product.
Sameer Samat, President of the Android Ecosystem at Google, took the stage to outline the vision for the Android PC. He stated it would carefully balance introducing new changes with maintaining the reliable user experience of ChromeOS.
“We’re basically taking the ChromeOS experience, and we’re re-baselining the technology underneath it on Android. That combination is something we are super excited about for next year.”
The upcoming Android PC has been described as “incredible” by Qualcomm. Google’s Sameer Samat added that the firm is prioritizing the acceleration of AI advancements on Android for a rapid deployment to the laptop form factor, a step intended to create a seamlessly integrated ecosystem.
HarmonyOS PC
It is interesting how Google is planning to follow Huawei’s footsteps in the PC world. The Chinese OEM is the first to bring its self-made smartphone OS to computers with HarmonyOS PC.
For Google, this move represents a potential strategy to counter Huawei’s influence in the PC sector. With HarmonyOS PCs currently limited to the Chinese market, Google has an open opportunity to gain a foothold internationally.
Next year will be decisive. The world will be watching to see if Google’s Android PC can rise to the surface and pose a real challenge to HarmonyOS.
