Qulacomm has set a date for the event in which it will introduce a new chip for smartwatches. This will renew the hardware offer of Wear OS.
Qualcomm dates its new chip: smartwatches will be reborn on September 10
Smartwatches with Android They have been without real progress for a long time. It wasn't until a few months ago that Android Wear was reborn as Wear OS that Google seemed to take note of the current state of these devices and went to work to improve it. At the moment everything seems to be in order, but at the same time this refers only to the software part. And it is that equally important is the Hardware, and there too problems accumulate.
Qualcomm is the main one in charge of developing chips for smart watches. However, its latest CPU has been on the market for two years, without updating or offering anything new. The Snapdragon Wear 2100 it has retarded the advancement of the system and prevented the development of new, more advanced clocks. It was not up to the task. Luckily, it seems that the next processor is already running, preemptively called Snapdragon 3100, which will completely renew smart watches. And when will it arrive? The following teaser gives the answer:
September 10 2018. As indicated by Qualcomm itself, "It's time". Although they do not specify that it will be about the presentation of the chip, the truth is that little more can be if we take into account the information that is offered. The drawn clock and the promotional phrase are indicative enough to deduce that it is a presentation about smart watches. Qualcomm is dedicated to creating chips, so if we add two and two, it comes out four.
How are smart watches to be renewed with the new chip?
And what will the future offer Snapdragon 3100? One of the main ideas is that smart watches can be not only more powerful, but also smaller. This would be accompanied by better battery management and an improvement in the section of connectivities. Wifi and Bluetooth as standard for all, GPS for sports watches and a much more stable data connection in all cases.
It would also have technology to eye tracking, something that should allow compatibility with augmented reality glasses. All this would be possible because this chip would not be a modified mobile processor to work in clocks, but it is built from the ground up to run on smartwatches.
