Google Pixel Watch has a stunning Black and Matte finish
The upcoming Google Pixel Watch is undoubtedly one of the most anticipated stories in the coming months. The Google smartwatch has been the subject of numerous rumors in recent weeks and we have already confirmed a lot of things about this upcoming smartwatch. Now the latest leaks of the Google Pixel Watch show a black color with a matte finish that looks very premium and appealing.
The developments concerning Google Pixel Watch, the Mountain View giant’s expected first smartwatch, which will be officially launched next week alongside the Google Pixel 7 series, continue to follow one another relentlessly on the Internet.
Unlike with the new smartphones, Google has not yet revealed the colors of the Google Pixel Watch, which is expected to be available in gold, silver, and black, according to rumors.

The black color has now been confirmed by the Mountain View behemoth, whose Taiwanese division has published the following promotional video on YouTube, which shows it in all its glory:
This video confirms that the black variant will have a stainless steel case with a matte finish, as opposed to the silver and gold variants, which have a glossy and reflective finish.
The promotional video also shows some of the straps that the Mountain View company will make available to users in order to customize the smartwatch, which may not be sold globally but only in certain markets.
Each new preview of the Google Pixel Watch appears to highlight that the Google team has spent a lot of time perfecting the appearance of its first smartwatch in order to give it a unique and premium style, and even this umpteenth contribution does nothing but confirm the manufacturer’s decision to devote so much care to design.
The Droid-Life staff has created the following GIF image that allows us to observe the various quadrants shown by Google so far:
There is nothing left to do but make an appointment for October 6, the day we will finally learn about all of the features of the Google Pixel Watch and its official price, with the hope that it will also arrive in Italy immediately.

Google’s AI tool, Gemini, is designed with safety measures to prevent misuse. However, government-backed groups from countries like China, Iran, North Korea, and Russia have attempted to exploit it for harmful purposes. These groups, known as Advanced Persistent Threats (APTs), have used Gemini to gather information on military and intelligence targets, understand software weaknesses, and assist in coding tasks.
Additionally, Information Operations (IO) groups from these nations have utilized Gemini for translation, refining the tone of their messages, and disguising their true identities to operate secretly.
Despite these attempts, Google reports that most efforts to misuse Gemini have been unsuccessful. Many have tried to bypass Gemini’s safety protocols using known methods, but these attempts have largely failed.
This situation highlights the challenges in preventing AI misuse. While Google has been effective in stopping direct harmful actions through Gemini, malicious actors can still use the AI’s capabilities to support their activities in less obvious ways. This underscores the need for ongoing vigilance and improvement in AI safety measures.

Google has enhanced the security of its log-in prompts on Android devices. Previously, when signing into your Google Account, you would receive a prompt asking, “Are you trying to sign in?” and could confirm by tapping “Yes, it’s me.”
Now, with version 25.02.34 of Google Play Services, an additional verification step is required. After confirming, you’ll be prompted to authenticate using your fingerprint, PIN, face recognition, or another two-factor authentication (2FA) method. This change aims to provide an extra layer of protection for your account.
While the added step may slightly increase the time it takes to log in, the enhanced security is a valuable trade-off. iOS users will experience a similar update, with the Google app or Gmail handling the prompt instead of Play Services.
Google is preparing to release its next mid-range smartphone, the Pixel 9a, earlier than in previous years. According to multiple sources, the Pixel 9a will be available for pre-order in mid-March 2025, with shipping and in-store availability before the end of March.
The Pixel 9a is expected to feature a 6.3-inch Actua display, the same size as the Pixel 9 and Pixel 9 Pro. Despite the larger screen and battery, the Pixel 9a will remain at $499 for the 128GB storage option, with a 256GB variant priced at $599.
In terms of design, the Pixel 9a is set to receive a significant redesign, featuring a flush camera setup. It will be available in four colors: Porcelain, Obsidian, Peony, and Iris.
The Pixel 9a will be powered by the Google Tensor G4 processor, accompanied by the Titan M2 security chip, 8GB of LPDDR5X RAM, and either 128GB or 256GB of UFS 3.1 storage. The device will also sport a 6.285-inch Actua Display with a peak brightness of 2,700 nits and HDR brightness of 1,800 nits.
This earlier release aligns with Google’s recent trend of moving up its product timelines, as seen with the August launch of the Pixel 9 series, which was earlier than the usual October schedule. Additionally, Android 16 is rumored to arrive in Q2 2025, further indicating a shift in Google’s release strategy. With these enhancements and an adjusted launch schedule, the Pixel 9a aims to strengthen Google’s presence in the mid-range smartphone market.
