Rumors have long been floating around that Google is working on its own wearable smartwatch, which will be manufactured by LG. Today, thanks to @evleaks, we now have a bit of information about the specs of Google’s upcoming wearable device.

The LG manufactured smartwatch will come with a 1.65-inch IPS LCD, which is nearly the same size as on the Galaxy Gear 2 (1.63-inches), with a resolution of 280 x 280. Other specs include a 512MB of RAM and 4GB of internal storage. The processor is yet to be decided and it is not yet known whether the device will come with a camera or not.
