Google’s 4 Pixel Watch 5 Models Clear FCC as 2 Variants Show LTE

3 articles · Updated · Forbes · Jun 30

Summary

  • Four Google smartwatch models believed to be the Pixel Watch 5 series have cleared FCC testing, with filings pointing to two LTE versions and two Wi-Fi/Bluetooth-only variants.
  • Model details in the documents identify G25QD and G0F3Y as carrying cellular antennas, while G1XJ6 and GFW3R lack LTE hardware, suggesting the same split lineup as the current generation.
  • The filings indicate the cellular models remain on 4G/LTE rather than moving to 5G, reinforcing expectations of modest hardware changes ahead of launch.
  • A 41mm and 45mm range appears likely again, and an unverified device found at sea by Randy Pitchford seemed to match the 45mm design and the series’ domed glass look.
  • Google is expected to unveil the watches at its usual August Made by Google event, where AI features tied to Gemini may draw more attention than any redesign.
