Google had once reportedly contemplated putting a punch-hole display on a smartwatch
There were earlier rumours of a Pixel Watch coming out, although it doesn’t appear to have panned out. It would appear that the hole-punch displays are not enough for smartphones as a new report has stated that Google was at one point contemplating to bring a hole-punch in a smartwatch. As per a recently discovered patent, first spotted by letsgodigital, it has been revealed that the Mountain View-based tech giant wanted to place a camera right in the centre of a smartwatch. However, companies have generally abstained from putting in a camera on a smartwatch as there doesn’t appear to be enough space to place a decent sensor. Apple has never placed a camera sensor in the Apple Watch, although an earlier patent had leaked which showed a camera in one of the future models of the Apple Watch.
