New Google Pixel Buds Pro 2 may come with a potential battery upgrade

Recent regulatory filings in Denmark and South Korea have fueled speculation surrounding the battery of the upcoming Google Pixel Buds Pro 2. These filings reveal details of a charging case listed under the model number GH8tQ, and crucially, hint at a potentially larger battery capacity.

While the current Pixel Buds Pro boasts a 620mAh battery within its charging case, the newly revealed information suggests the Pixel Buds Pro 2 case might house a 650mAh battery. This ostensible increase, although seemingly minor, translates to potentially improved battery life for the earbuds themselves.

The filings further disclose that Chongqing VDL Electronics, a Chinese contract manufacturer, is likely responsible for producing the charging case. Additionally, the certifications reveal the battery model numbers, with UL Demko shedding light on the capacity and Safety Korea providing an actual image of the battery expected to be integrated within the charging case.

Although Google remains tight-lipped regarding any official announcements, the timing of these filings alludes to a potentially imminent launch. Google released the original Pixel Buds Pro in May 2022, prompting speculation that the company might target a similar release window for the Pixel Buds Pro 2 in 2024, possibly coinciding with Google I/O. It is important to remember, however, that this is merely speculation, and the tech industry is renowned for its unpredictable release schedules.

For current Pixel Buds Pro owners, there is likely no pressing need to upgrade at this point in time. The existing model delivers more than adequate performance for everyday use. However, those actively seeking new earbuds would be wise to keep the Pixel Buds Pro 2 on their radar.
