Google's Android Wear 'Angelfish', 'Swordfish' Smartwatches Leaked in Images


Last week, reports of Google making two of its own Android Wear smartwaches surfaced online, and now leaked images of the two wearables have made their way to the Web. The previous report tipped that the two smartwatches have been codenamed Angelfish and Swordfish, and are expected to launch after the Nexus devices in fall this year.

The images have been leaked by Android Police, and it warns that the smartwatches have been recreated, in order to keep the source anonymous. The report asserts that the image is an 'accurate representation' of the leak, however it does not guarantee that the final product may look the same.

The bigger wearable on the left is the Angelfish, which is said to feature a diameter of 43.5mm. Thankfully there is no flat tyre marring the experience like you see on the Moto 360. In line with the previous report, you can see the three physical buttons on the side, and the smartwatch also features GPS, LTE, and a heart-rate monitor.

The Swordfish, on the right, is smaller with a diameter of 42mm and only comes with one crown button on the side. Unlike the Angelfish, there is a ‘small amount of circular display bezel’. This is believed to be the affordable variant and won’t include features like GPS, LTE or heart-rate monitor.

Of the two, the Swordfish is expected to support Android Wear‘s MODE wrist bands, which lets users easily swap bands. Both smartwatches will run on Android Wear 2.0 and will also have Google Assistant integrated. The latest wearable operating system brings in new watch faces, improved messaging experience, auto exercise recognition feature, and support for standalone apps to name a few. The renders also show new customizable watch faces that users will get on Android Wear 2.0, which show different information on the homescreen itself.
