Google Pixel Watch 3 and 3 XL renders have been leaked online. OnLeaks has shared images of the next generation of Google Pixel Watches, which will now get an XL model with a larger screen size: Google Pixel Watch 3 (black): • Display diagonal: 1.2 inches (same as PW2); • Dimensions: 40.79 x 40.73 x 14 mm (vs. 41 x 41 x 12.3 mm for the PW2); • Estimated battery capacity: 307 mAh. (vs. 304 mAh in the PW2); Google Pixel Watch 3 XL (white): • Display diagonal: 1.45 in • Dimensions: 45 x 45 x 13.89 mm. Judging by the dimensions and diagonal, the base variant of the Pixel Watch 3 will offer thinner display bezels. And the larger dimensions of the Pixel Watch 3 XL will surely imply a larger battery. Also, the stock straps could get an updated clasp. Furthermore, due to the size of the 3 XL, the band attachment system for this model will not be compatible with the band attachment system of Pixel Watch 1, 2, and 3.
