Somebody discovers unusual Pixel Watch prototype with much less RAM and storage

What you could know

• A Redditor stumbled upon a Pixel Watch prototype after buying an open-box smartwatch for $100 on eBay.
• The prototype is a “Manufacturing Validation Check” (PVT) class gadget, which possible represents one of many first official manufacturing checks of the Pixel Watch.
• The Pixel Watch prototype has a nonstandard storage and reminiscence configuration, that includes 8GB storage and 1GB reminiscence. 

The authentic Pixel Watch bought combined receptions, partly because of the smartwatch’s mediocre processor and low reminiscence. Nevertheless it seems that an early Pixel Watch prototype had even much less RAM and storage than the ultimate model of Google’s first smartwatch. One way or the other, that early prototype ended up on eBay, and a fortunate (or unfortunate) Redditor bought it for simply $100. 

The prototype is of the Manufacturing Validation Check (PVT) class, which is commonly the third and last prototyping stage for merchandise. Engineering Validation Check (EVT) and Design Validation Check (DVT) phases precede PVT prototypes. By the point a product reaches the PVT stage, it’s often identified that the product is useful. Nevertheless, the PVT stage serves as a product’s first official manufacturing run, and it’s used to find out if there are points producing it at scale.
