Google's Pixel Watch 3 XL Rumors Spark Enthusiastic Speculation

Recently, leaked images of the Pixel Watch 3 have stirred up a storm of speculation in the tech world. Now, a new rumor has surfaced, hinting at the existence of a larger variant - the Pixel Watch 3 XL. This potential addition to Google's smartwatch lineup has enthusiasts buzzing with excitement.

The leaked images of the Pixel Watch 3 XL suggest that it will be a 45mm smartwatch, confirming earlier speculations. The design closely resembles its predecessor, the Pixel Watch 2, featuring a circular watch face with rounded glass protection and a digital crown with a single button on the right side.

One notable difference with the Pixel Watch 3 XL is its size. Reports indicate that it will boast a larger 1.45-inch display compared to the rumored 1.2-inch screen of the standard Pixel Watch 3. The XL version is also expected to be larger in dimensions, measuring 45 x 45 x 13.89 mm, making it slightly thicker than the Pixel Watch 2. The reasons behind Google's decision for a bulkier design have sparked curiosity among fans.

Speculations also suggest that the standard Pixel Watch 3 might see a thicker profile to accommodate a bigger battery and new sensors. This potential change could impact band compatibility between the two models. Leaked information hints that the Pixel Watch 3 XL will require a different band attachment system, making bands from the older Pixel Watch 2 incompatible with the new XL version.

Details about the bands of the Pixel Watch 3 XL remain scarce, with leaked images showcasing a potential design featuring a white ('Porcelain' as per reports) Active band. Initial reactions to this design have been positive, although some users are hoping for scratch-resistant sapphire crystal glass on the XL variant.

While these leaks should be approached with caution until official confirmation, the frequency of recent leaks suggests a possible imminent launch for the Pixel Watch 3 series.
